Vicki Rummler

Born near Detroit, Vicki has studied piano, clarinet, guitar, dance, theater, composition, and production, including a BA in Music from Williams College. Since moving to Europe twenty-odd years ago, she has performed with a cabaret group in Munich, honed her vocal craft in the jazz clubs of the City of Light, and worked with singers and composers of all stripes. In 2004 she joined the cutting-edge electro a cappella group Les Grandes Gueules, with whom she recorded two albums for SONY BMG, Vocal Extreme (2006) and Poéziques (2012). She has also performed with the prestigious Parisian “vocal big band,” the Voice Messengers. Vicki’s solo work perfectly balances her love of vocal harmony. Her first album of original tunes and standards, “Twinkle” (Pitch Puppy Productions), was released in 2004. Her sophomore album, “am I am” (Juste Une Trace/Socadisc, 2011), is a jazz-pop collection that reflects her eclectic musical influences. “Take Two” (Blue Moon Inner Jazz/Socadisc, 2017) is a series of duets with the finest guitarists on the current scene (including Lionel Loueke and Nguyên Lê), in homage to the silver screen. Her fourth project, “Leaps and Bounds” (Juste Une Trace/Socadisc, 2022), is a collection of “cabin songs” written during a wilderness artist residency in the Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA. And “Snapshots” (Dodicilune, 2026) is a tribute to her father, amateur clarinetist Ed Rummler, featuring Francesco Bearzatti on clarinet and soprano sax and Nico Morelli on piano.
