Magdalena Thora

Leni Stern strikes me as the sort of artist who lasts because she answers to the music rather than the trends. A German jazz guitarist and singer out of Munich, she's spent a long career holding her own in a guitar world that was, frankly, a boys' club for decades. I admire musicians who carve out a personal voice on a crowded instrument, and her willingness to roam across jazz, vocals, and West African influences signals real curiosity. The kind of player who maintains her own site and just keeps working tells you everything about her priorities. I'd happily lose an evening inside her records.
