When Norah Jones took to the world stage in 2002 with «Come Away With Me», little did she guess that she would trigger a paradigm shift in pop music with her «moody little disc». As a pianist her influence is jazz, but as a singer-songwriter she sits firmly in the country tradition of Hank Williams and Willie Nelson. Only the wonderful version of «Cold Cold Heart» on Norah Jones' first album betrayed the country roots of this highly-gifted musician. While a New-Yorker by birth, she grew up in Texas and was influenced by country and gospel before turning to jazz. Now, with 45 million records and no less than nine Grammy awards under her belt, Norah's remarkable latest album «Day Breaks» marks her return to jazz. Once more she proves to be one of America's most important contemporary voices, with a distinctive sound that reflects all the great genres of American roots music: country, folk, rock, soul and jazz.

Content:
Englishman Bryan Ferry can be described with two important words: style icon. With Roxy Music, and ever since their first album was released four decades ago, Bryan Ferry has been the epitome of style in music and personal appearance. He sees a suit as the only article of clothing for a man that can be taken seriously. His music has always been substantial pop music for discerning listeners who consistently remain composed and gallant. It is logical that he reinvented himself once again as a man of substance on his new album. In The Jazz Age he rediscovers the classics of Roxy Music with an orchestra in the style of the 1920s.

Content:
Antoinette Clinton’s success took her by surprise. As a teenager in Sacramento, she imitated sounds and animals and wrote a song about butterscotch sweets. The name stuck and she went from imitating sounds to beatboxing and from improvising to studying classical piano. However, she ended her studies when she became the beatboxing world champion in 2005. After specializing in her own interpretations of jazz standards, Butterscotch reached third place in the casting show America’s Got Talent in 2007. Since then, rap and jazz greats have jumped at the chance to work with her. She has shared the stage with Chick Corea and Bobby McFerrin, but also with Talib Kweli, Wyclef Jean und Will.I.Am. All of this happened before Butterscotch had her own album. The vocal percussionist will be jamming on various evenings with the most diverse performers as the BALOISE SESSION Resident Artist, building bridges between music genres.

Content:
I am more than just a rapper. I am not only a singer. I make music. CeeLo Green once said in an interview. The former Baptist preacher and gospel fan from Atlanta states the truth and yet it is a gross understatement. After perfecting the art of rap in the same artist milieu as Outkast, and with his own band Goodie Mob, he went from rap to soul over a period of three albums. As a soloist, he melded the two styles into neo soul. With incredible ease, he transformed the attitudes of the digital generation into carefree dance music in 2005 with producer Danger Mouse in his high-flying project Gnarls Barkley with the hit Crazy. Ever since his irreverently jovial hit Fuck You, you know what CeeLo Green means when he says "I make music": He is a crooner of neo soul: stylish, tongue-incheek, yet profound, at the same time massively light-hearted and you just can’t stop dancing.

Charles Bradley’s life was never easy. He grew up with his grandmother in Florida until his mother brought him to New York. Charles ran away when he was only 14. He lived on the street for two years, learned to be a cook, became a chef, often changed jobs and occasionally performed with a band. As a James Brown impersonator he was more successful, which lasted for 30 years. When his brother was shot by his own nephew, Charles put this experience into a song. The big boss of the legendary soul label, Daptone, heard the song and immediately signed Charles. Charles was already 52, but it still took ten more years before his debut album "No Time For Dreaming" was released in 2011. The world was beside itself with enthusiasm: Charles Bradley is James Brown, Otis Redding and Sam Cook all in one: pure deep soul. Bradley is the "Screaming Eagle Of Soul", and the major stages of the world are now his home.

James Blunt wrote his first song, 'No Bravery' as a lieutenant in the KFOR force in Kosovo. Just after he had been released from service, Linda Perry took him under her wing and in 2004, Blunt’s song 'You’re Beautiful' came seemingly out of nowhere to become a number one hit in Europe and in the US. James Blunt became an overnight superstar. His modesty and sincerity in spite of his incredible rise to fame give his songs their charm. In 'Moon Landing', he sings of the simplicity of things and the beauty in the world and on stage, the hero with the everyman face is affable. When he sings of building bridges, he does not mean his service between the fronts, but rather the love from 'Heart To Heart'. This may sound a bit corny, but it is not corny at all.

Founded in 1975 by Chris von Rohr, the band went from being the opening band for other acts to becoming an internationally recognized Swiss hard rock band, often even compared to the legendary AC/DC. A big part of their success is due to the indestructible voice of front man Marc Storace, who is back, blasting full force into the microphone since 2006, after a long odyssey when the Krokus nearly wilted. The result of the new freshness of Krokus is the album Dirty Dynamite. Bassist and producer Christ Von Rohr says: No, we did not spend our time puttering about on golf courses, we wanted to produce our best album, the opus magnum of the new Krokus era».

From her birthplace in Hackney, East London, she took the UK charts by storm with her debut single A Moment Like This, which became the highest selling debut single of a solo artist in England in history. Successes in neighbouring Europe and America followed. Critics raved, saying she was the next Mariah Carey. At the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008, she sang the Led Zeppelin rock classic 'Whole Lotta Love' with Jimmy Page. Three years later, the remix of her single 'Collide' was nominated for a Grammy. In spite of her stellar climb to fame, Leona Lewis remains firmly grounded and has a sure sense of style in her development as an artist.

After 2004, the Englishwoman preferred performing on theater stages and in TV film series, until she revealed in an interview in 2012 that she was writing songs again. She embarked on a successful tour with these new songs just a few months later. Now, Lisa has finally returned to her fans with her album 'Seven'. The question of music has finally been answered: Lisa sings soul with such power that it feels like she never took a break.

After the frenzy of punk and new wave, it was almost a relief when, surprisingly it was an English band that came onto the scene with such suave coolness that they brought elegant lounge evenings back into style in 1984. «Whose Side Are You On?» asked Matt Bianco with their debut, before answering the question with their worldwide hit «Half A Minute», convincing us to be on the side of beautiful singing, smooth Latin rhythms and sophisticated pop music. The band was successful with two more albums before Matt Bianco broke up. Although the core duo Mark Reilly and Mark Fisher continued to regularly release albums, Matt Bianco disappeared into the fringe of music history, until the band brought back the original line up in 2004 with the album «Matt’s Mood» which helped to initiate the eighties revival. Ever since then, discerning pop fans enjoy spending their evenings in the lounge or at one of the rare concerts of Matt Bianco.

Christopher von Deylen alias Schiller is literally a man of the world: When he condenses his extended excursions from all the corners of the globe into music, he opens up a sound journey to the listener’s own inner worlds. It is remarkable how masterfully he walks the line between chill-out and dancefloor music. «My music is not an interpretation of the world », he says, «but rather the world inspires me to make my music». It’s no wonder that music greats Mike Oldfield and Moya Brennan enjoy being his guest – especially on a stage where Schiller accentuates his sounds with spectacular light shows. More recently, he performed with the Symphonic Pop Orchestra using new, classical arrangements of his hits like «Sonne» and «Das Glockenspiel». His performance in 2014at the Berlin Classic Open Air was a smash success. What might the sound stylist from Germany come up with next?

The result is two wacky video clips, two dance albums and a brand new third album: «Bring Us Together». Anything goes and it all makes you dance. How did it happen? Mette and Lars are simply bursting with ideas and they have no problem letting their ideas take shape. «Magic happens», Mette once said in an interview, «but only if you are completely open to new things».

Title: Aimee Mann plays Baloise Session
Year of Production: 2013
Length: 01:15:00 Director: Roli Bärlocher
Content:
She’s done it all. Aimee Mann first played in a punk band, then a new wave band, before she became a singer-songwriter influenced by country music. In 1993, she released her solo debut 'Whatever', after which she was celebrated by the critics as a new female Paul McCartney. This woman from Richmond has the same instinct for simple, yet profound pop songs as the ex-Beatles songwriter. Inspite of the critical acclaim, Aimee’s label wanted her to write nice little songs for the masses, so she left and started her label 'SuperEgo'. The record company must have been quite irked when, soon after, Aimee received an Oscar® nomination for the magical song 'Save Me', the title song of the film 'Magnolia'. Since then, Aimee has achieved a kind of iconic status: The woman, who could already play all of Neil Young’s songs as a teenager, has developed into Young’s female counterpart: rough around the edges, but loveable and above all, brilliant.

Title: Alex Hepburn plays Baloise Session
Year of Production: 2013
Length: 01:15:00 Director: Roli Bärlocher
Content:
The English singer Alex Hepburn worked through the painful experiences and losses of her childhood by writing in her diary. The journal entries later became rhymes, then lyrics and finally songs, which she sings with verve and a powerful voice: This combination has made her a shooting star of neo soul. The resulting songs are so powerful that Hepburn’s debut single 'Pain Is' and the debut album which followed, 'Together Alone', immediately achieved success in the European charts. It is no wonder since the modern soul of this young English singer is a product of the blues and rock of her childhood. Her voice is as rough and strong as a double whisky. Her fans celebrate her, depending on their age, as a new Pink or a new Janis Joplin or, and everyone agrees on this, as a worthy successor to Amy Winehouse. In the end, the comparisons are unimportant, because Alex Hepburn is Alex Hepburn.

Then only 17 years old, Birdy, alias Jasmine van den Bogaerde, sang her songs no less passionately and with the same intensity and rich content. The fact that she - like so many other young pop stars of today - was first noticed in a talent contest, is less the focus than the fact that she has created her own personal style with simple piano playing and her natural voice. She has managed to achieve a clear artistic profile, which enabled her to top the charts in the Netherlands, the Flemish part of Belgium and Australia with her debut album in 2011.

Year of Production: 2013
Length: 01:21:00 Director: Roli Bärlocher
Content:
Never again will the world witness a career like that of Eric 'Slowhand' Clapton. And this, not only because it has gone on strong for 50 years now, or because this Englishman has influenced everything from beat to blues, the hippy era and the wild 80s. He wrote legendary evergreens like 'Layla' and 'Tears In Heaven', and made the completely unknown Bob Marley popular with his cover version of 'I Shot The Sheriff'. In the studio and on stage, he breathed eternal life into J.J.Cale’s song 'Cocaine'. As the guitarist in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and The Cream, he already firmly established his fame in the 60s with his 20-minute guitar solos. In 1966, a fan sprayed 'Clapton is God' on the wall of an underground station in Islington, London. The saying spread like wildfire, because no one plays the six strings as masterfully, with as much inspiration, yet as slowly and as beautifully as Eric Clapton.

Year of Production: 2013

Content:
As a singer of the rock band The Frames, Glen Hansard was highly regarded in the indie scene. In the meantime, he performed in the classic movie 'The Commitments' as the band’s guitarist. Then he was awarded an Oscar® for the film music for 'Once' with his then partner Marketa Irglová as The Swell Season and was suddenly famous. The former street musician with his modest beginnings was overwhelmed by all of this excitement. For two years, he hid out in the anonymity of New York before going back to his roots. Hansard was once called the 'most Irish of all Irish singers', by 'Rolling Stone'. He is also an outspoken disciple of Van Morrison. Hansard came back home and released his first solo album last year: 'Rhythm And Response' is the work of a profound poet, who knows what he wants and what not.

Year of Production: 2013
Length: 01:15:00 Director: Roli Bärlocher
Content:
Heather Nova was raised on a sailboat, where she spent years sailing the Atlantic with her parents. She would sit at the bow of the ship and contemplate the endless sea and the freedom of the birds while she sang and played her guitar. This enrapture continues to influence her poetic songs which seem as fragile as the delicate singer herself. When she sings of longing in her elven voice with her feet planted on solid ground, she does not sing of the sea, and yet, somehow, she is always in the middle of the sea. Fittingly, her 2011 album is called '300 Days At Sea'. It is about the Bermudas, where she was born and where she has been living again after years of commuting between Los Angeles, New York and London.

The collective 'Incognito' has been existing for about thirty years. Almost 1000 musicians have played in his band since then as bandleader Paul 'Bluey' Maunick proudly explains. The most important thing is that Maunick told each one of these 1000 musicians exactly what he has to do. No one would imagine that this discreet gentleman with the guitar is the boss behind the scenes. The people up front seem to be calling the shots, the singers and the lead male vocalist, the extremely precise horn players and the rhythm machine, that mercilessly nails every beat. In the nineties in London, it was named acid jazz: jazz harmonies over funk beats that get your toes tapping.

Title: Kyla La Grange plays Baloise Session
Year of Production: 2013
Length: 01:00:00 Director: Roli Bärlocher
Content:
The songs of young singer Kyla La Grange from the British town of Watford are far from melancholy. She is the daughter of two hippies: her mother is from South Africa and her father is from Zimbabwe, and she was shaped by the openness of world culture and self-discovery. It is not surprising that she wrote her first songs at the age of five, ten years before she was given her first guitar. Kyla La Grange talks about being very shy in her childhood. She finally found her audience at the University of Cambridge when she was studying philosophy. The campus was full of open mic sessions, which influenced her sound and her songwriting. Kyla’s appearance is fascinating. She looks like a top model, has a smoky voice which is not sexy and sweet, but rather mysterious and haunting. She lets her folk songs grow into dark stories that hang in your heart like bats on the rafters of a fairy tale castle steeped in legend.

The Lovebugs, a Swiss Britpop inspired band from Basel, Switzerland founded in 1992, make music to live their dream, to live in the moment, to capture their experiences in snapshots and to listen carefully for the subtle, finer sounds in life. 'We gave every idea for a song a chance and we rehearsed until this magic moment came – or didn’t come,' says drummer Simon Ramseier. Bassist Florian Senn adds: 'We worked without pressure or a specific concept and only allowed ourselves one luxury: A lot of time.' The laid back atmosphere carried over from the songs to the entire band. 'We are more colourful again now,' says singer Adrian Sieber. 'In our songwriting, it was important to me that the melancholy songs should not drown in sadness, but should still have a spark of hope.'

How to become first a UK chart breaker and then successfully win over the whole world with pop was demonstrated by Texas from Glasgow, Scotland: In the past 20 years, the band built around charismatic singer Sharleen Spiteri has sold more albums than Texas has inhabitants and that is 25 million. There were times when Texas was the most-played band in England with hits like 'Halo', 'Black Eyed Boy' and 'Put Your Arms Around Me'. When Texas released the single 'Say What You Want (All Day Everyday)' with the hip hop conglomerate Wu-Tang Clan, they showed that they could broaden their sense of pop. After the album 'Red Book' in 2005, the band took a break. This year they are back, fresher than ever with the new album 'The Conversation' and vibrant, pulsating pop.

The singer spent seven years commuting between her native country and the Parisian suburb where she still writes her songs, and also New York, where she worked as a highly demanded fashion model. Two years ago, she decided to give up her modelling career to commit herself fully to her true passion: music. Her courage was rewarded: her debut album 'Shape Of A Broken Heart' was not only a critical success, the public also fell in love with it. She is blessed with a voice that you will never forget even after the first hearing. This is only the beginning of what we are convinced will be a meteoric and longlasting career.

His experiences are endless: singer in Yello, organic farmer in Argentina, watch designer, director, book author, poker player, innkeeper, photographer and performance artist, among other things. It makes sense that his new music project Out of Chaos (where he is joined by Nicolas Rüttimann, guitar, Ephrem Lüchinger, piano, Tobias Preisig, violin, Thomas Wydler, drums and Ralph Sonderegger, bass) is hard to describe with mere words. Perhaps like this: accomplished musicians from the jazz and rock scene, unusual instruments, no genre boundaries and at the centre: Meier. He sings, screeches, whispers and talks. And he tells stories, sometimes without any music at all.

Title: The Steve Miller Band plays Avo Session
Year of Production: 2012
Length: 01:15:00 Director: Roli Bärlocher
Content:
Steve Miller's parents taught him to love jazz, his friends were hippies and he liked rock. And he wanted to bring all of that together, so he skipped his final literature exams to become a professional musician. In 1967, at the tender age of 24, Steve founded the Steve Miller Band, where he fusioned the blues, psychedelic music and rock with reverb and echo effects to pioneer a new music form that music critics labelled blues rock. Six years later, after making Texas his new home, the guitar hero put his blues sentiment in a nutshell: 'Some people call me the space cowboy, some call me the gangster of love'. He called the track 'The Joker'. He’s been filling stadiums in America ever since and he rarely finds the time to come to Europe. It’s great that Steve Miller is finally 'headed down' to Switzerland and to the AVO SESSION Basel.

Title: Aaron Neville plays Avo Session
Year of Production: 2011
Length: 00:56:00 Director: Roli Bärlocher
Content:
In America’s Deep South, where 'Ol’Man River' Mississippi flows into the sea, music sounds different. It is darker, sometimes rougher around the edges, and the people are closer to the higher powers. God and the Devil seem to be a more tangible part of life. Spiritual gospel and profane blues are side by side. It’s been said that Robert Johnson, the 'King of Delta Blues', whose short and wild life ended 73 years ago, was in league with the Devil and Aaron Neville, the singer from New Orleans, has a tattoo of a cross on his cheek to display his devotion to the Lord. Aaron Neville grew up in the Crescent City of New Orleans. A bear of a man, his high voice with its remarkable vibrato contrasts greatly with his appearance. The sounds of the South flow through his music, along with Cajun and Creole music, soul, gospel and even jazz, it forms the basis of his art, which is always carried by deep emotion. At AVO SESSION, Aaron Neville performs with Charles Neville, saxophone, Michael Goods, keyboards, David Johnson, bass/vocals, Makuni Fakuda, guitar and Earl Smith, drums/vocals.

Beverley Knight has been on the acid jazz and clubhouse soul scene for over 15 years with style and first-class sound. She has Jamaican roots and grew up in a deeply religious family. Gospel music had a great influence on her already as a child when she sang in a school choir. After school she started studying theology and philosophy, but then the music bug that had bitten her took over completely. Songs like 'Greatest Day', 'Come As You Are' or 'Shoulda Woulda Coulda' all made it into high slots on the charts and have gained the attention of more and more prominent admirers such as David Bowie, Prince and Sir Paul McCartney. With her band she performs her greatest hits at AVO SESSION as well as songs from her latest album ‘Soul UK’.

Content:
With his highly precise, reduced guitar style, Nile Rodgers revolutionized dance music and formed the basis for the disco craze with the immortal hit 'Le Freak' in the mid-70s. The legendary bass line of now deceased Chic co-founder Bernard Edwards in the hit 'Good Times' is probably the most common sample used in hip hop and dance music. It is incredible that this music still sounds just as fresh and cool now as when it first came out. It’s because Nile Rodgers has always managed to add new talent to his band and he has constantly tried new experiments. He learned this from one of his musical godfathers and partners: Miles Davis.

Content:
When front man Maurice White shakes his booty, it’s just as hip as it was back at the beginning of his career in 1969. He may not shake it as fast, but he still does it with the same elegance, flexibility and energy as always. His secret is the sound that he produces with the band he founded: Earth, Wind & Fire. It’s so hot, that you can’t sit still when they play eternal hits like 'September', 'Let’s Groove' or 'Fantasy'. Funky beats, razor-sharp horns, grooving bass and a driving rhythm guitar are the elements, combined with a dazzling stage show and sensational choreography, that the band have brought to sheer perfection for more than 40 years. Often unfairly labelled a vile disco band by music purists, upon closer inspection, the band’s high musical quality and precision, which is exemplary in the genre, is unmistakeable.

Title: Jan Delay plays Avo Session
Year of Production: 2011
Length: 01:10:00 Director: Roli Bärlocher
Content:
His musical universe is as colourful, multi-layered and diverse as the pseudonyms he appeared under as a youth in the various underground scenes in his native city of Hamburg. He started as Eizi Eiz or Eissfeldt with the hip-hop group Beginner. As the solo artist Jan Delay, he plays reggae, dancehall and funk. He got the name Delay from echo or delay machines that were an important element of these music genres. His first label, which he founded with some of his musician friends, went bankrupt, but Jan did not give up. Instead, he developed the sound that was to make him famous: hardcore German soul-funk with ironic and intelligent lyrics and the typical nasal singing and that gives the song the same cool, suggestive drive as ghetto slang. With his new band, Disko No. 1, he released the album 'Mercedes-Dance' in 2006, which jumped right to number 1 on the German charts. Since then, Jan Delay has been a superstar who has been invited to appear on TV shows, to accept prizes and to grace the covers of lifestyle magazines. In 2009, he released the album 'Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Soul' with hits like 'Oh Jonny' or 'Showgeschäft'.

Blues singer Keb' Mo', who is actually named Kevin Moore, grew up in California, but now he lives in New Orleans.

The refined simplicity of his guitar playing, his freedom in form and the stories that Johnson told his listeners influenced Keb’ Mo’ deeply. The difference is that Robert Johnson, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday in May 2011, was paid in food and whiskey back in his days. These days, Keb' Mo' is rewarded with Grammys® for his work. At AVO SESSION, Keb’ Mo’ plays his best known hits as well as songs from his new album ‘The Reflection’.

The performance of the Scottish singer/songwriter KT Tunstall is no less artistically ambitious. Her song ‘Suddenly I See’ catapulted her onto the international charts. It’s a catchy song that does not completely reveal the fact that a superb musician is hiding behind the quirky initials KT, which stands for her full first name: Kate Victoria. She appeared in small student clubs in London as ‘Katie’ until she was invited to appear on the Late-Night-Show with Jools Holland – another familiar name at the AVO SESSION Basel. With only a guitar and a few stomp boxes like a loop station that allowed her to become her own live backup band, she sang the song ‘Black Horse and the Cherry Tree’. It was her big break. She got a recording contract and a little later, her debut single, ‘Eye to the Telescope’ was released and made it up to number 3 on the British charts. She was awarded the prize for British Female Solo Artist at the Brit Awards in 2006. And now at the AVO SESSION Basel, we experience another great solo performance by this one of a kind artist.

Year of Production: 2011

Content:
This woman has something that most Italian pop artists are missing. Her songs are not as sugary as Eros Ramazotti’s, her voice is not as rough as Gianna Nannini’s and she doesn’t rock like Zucchero. She seems to have found the happy medium with music that is subtle, yet distinct, entertaining, yet carefully constructed. In a way, Laura Pausini is the Italian version of Celine Dion. It’s not just Italian pop, but rather Mediterranean pop with a Mediterranean feeling. She literally plays right into the hearts of an international audience. When Laura released a Spanish version of her third album in 1996 and bonus tracks in Portuguese, Laura Pausini fever swept all the way from Europe to South America. The rest is a success story beyond comparison: with more than 40 million records sold worldwide and over 160 platinum records, in 2006, she became the first Italian female to be awarded a Grammy®. Laura Pausini often travels, because, as she says, 'Pop means popular, so that means you have to go to the people.' And when she comes, people want to be where she is.

New York native Stacey Kent never anticipated a career in jazz music: she was a Sarah Lawrence graduate with a degree in comparative literature. But her childhood days spent listening to the traditional beauty of Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole undoubtedly influenced her. While on holiday in Europe after graduating from college, she took up singing without much formal training and never looked back. In 2010, Kent released the all-French album „Raconte-Moi“, which went on to achieve gold status in both France and Germany. The live album „Dreamer in Concert“ -- recorded at the La Cigale in Paris -- landed in 2011. Two years later, Kent returned with „The Changing Lights“. Inspired by her love of Brazilian music, the album saw her working with Portuguese poet Antonio Ladeira and French lyricist Bernie Beaupère. She followed that with 2014‘s „Ao Vivo“, a duet album with legendary Brazilian musician Marcos Valle. Tenderly, released in early 2016, marked a return to American standards

Who can still remember Louis Armstrong? Since he died in 1971, he must be nearly forgotten: That could not be further from the truth! Louis Armstrong discovered nearly everything that was important in 20th century pop music: the swing, the improvised solos, how to sing into a microphone. He was a gifted entertainer, the king of jazz and actually even the king of pop before the expression even existed. It’s high time that someone remembered him and who better than Dr. John? He too is from New Orleans and he has that raspy voice and tickles the ivories just like in the barrelhouses and joints in Crescent City. Louis Amstrong must have been up in jazz heaven listening to the Dr.’s band «The Nite Trippers», and Arturo Sandoval, who grew up within view of New Orleans in Havana, Cuba.

Somewhat further south, but still in the big Creole-Caribbean area, is where pianist Monty Alexander comes from. He grew up in Jamaica and first learned calypso, which is where his unbridled playing, his power and his incredible passion for music must have their roots. At the age of seventeen, he went to the US, played jazz with great virtuosity and was immediately an insider secret. Even the great Frank Sinatra was moved to remark: «Monty is music dynamite!» He always kept his eye on the explosive music developments of ska and reggae in his former home of Jamaica, and in the eighties he began to tour with two rhythm sections: one, a sleek jazz section with bass and drums, the other, rastas with guitars that add Caribbean flair.

'In order to sing Edith Piaf, you need life experience and courage,' says Patricia Kaas. What she means is that one must understand the emotions, the biography and the artistry of the great French chansonière to bring her songs to life. Maybe her own dramatic biography has made Patricia Kaas the ideal interpreter of the legendary Piaf repertoire. She succeeds by giving it her own personal note without tampering with the original authenticity of the chanson, which takes melancholy, irony and disillusion and combines it with an element of pride. Patricia Kaas has managed to create a bridge to the current pensive, intense acoustic sounds of the Seine metropolis, carried out into the world by trendy protagonists like Woodkid.

Earning your money as a street musician in Montmartre, the artists’ quarter of Paris, teaches you what audiences want to hear. Enthralling audiences from far off as Siberia and Egypt with Edith Piaf songs means that you have embraced the true soul of chanson. And if, even after climbing up Mont Blanc (4810m), you still have the energy to sing and jam at the top of the peak, then the sleepless nights of show business can do you no harm. It is unusual to see all of these abilities unified in one single person. The French singer Zaz, born in 1980 in Tours in the Loire Valley, is this person, reviving French chanson with all its original impact, giving it new expression and infusing it with her charming nonchalance backed up by her extensive and varied stage experience.

This group provides him with the freedom to reinvent and form his music always again.

With their “Janoska style” the four members of the Janoska Ensemble have developed a breathtakingly virtuosic and profoundly personal vision of music, which they interpret in a thoroughly modern way. Among unifying factors are their family ties and an inexhaustible inventiveness that allows them to explore a wide range of works from popular classics to compositions that they have written themselves and, finally, idiosyncratic arrangements of jazz, pop and world music. For Live in Bratislava the four Janoskas have chosen to present a picture of Vienna as a cultural melting pot, lacing it with irony and wit, and evincing a very real delight in music-making that time and again takes them beyond the confines of the Austrian capital. Virtuoso classics by Franz Waxman, Niccolò Paganini and Pablo de Sarasate are heard alongside a Viennese work by Fritz Kreisler and operetta themes by Johann Strauss combined with the strains of a csárdás and music from the Balkans, to say nothing of a number of flights of fancy across the Atlantic to the world of the tango and rumba and of jazz improvisations.

Big city anger was evident in her songs, her intellectually demanding choice of words, and her sharp gift of observation, but also goodness, devotion and beauty. Three years ago, the daughter of Nigerian immigrants decided to start prescribing only medicine for the spirit and soul. She quit her job and in 2010, she released the album with the pragmatic title 'Say Yes': meaning say yes to life, to love. Since then Iyeoka is like Tracy Chapman, Lauryn Hill, Shirley Bassey and Sade – you could say she is the essence of all four with her sense of justice, rhythm, vocal power and gentle grace.

Title: Khaled plays Avo Session
Year of Production: 2012
Length: 01:15:00 Director: Roli Bärlocher
Content:
Raï' is a folk music form in Algeria. The word means opinion or view, a pointed message to the world. Khaled experienced the danger of spreading that message when the Islamists took over the country in 1986. He was forced to flee at the age of just 26. Khaled continued to develop his music in France. He became a superstar and an important symbol in his homeland, although he was forbidden to perform there. Khaled wants to entertain and to be popular. He says what he thinks and he plays raï the way he wants to, electronically, but also with traditional instruments, western and yet still Maghrebian, in different languages, but most of all with a message that is loud and clear.

Carlinhos Brown's African roots are obvious and on the stage he likes to emphasize the fact by wearing tribal headdress.

Whoever wants to have a true MPB concert experience, should start learning Carlinhos’ songs by heart…

The Goat Rodeo Sessions is an ambitious and groundbreaking project that brings together four string virtuosos: world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma, fiddler Stuart Duncan, bassist Edgar Meyer and mandolinist Chris Thile. While each artist is a prominent figure in his own music sphere, they have come together as a unified ensemble on a most remarkable and organic cross-genre project. The music, including two tracks with female vocalist Aoife O’Donovan, feels both new and familiar – it’s composed and improvised, uptown and down home, funky and pastoral and above all, uniquely American. A goat rodeo, according to Urban Dictionary, 'is about the most polite term used by aviation people (and others in higher risk situations) to describe a scenario that required about 100 things to go right at once if you intend to walk away from it.”

Content:
The documentary “Lady You Shot Me – Life and Death of a Soul Star” tells the story of the short but equally influential life of one of the most important artists of the 1950s and 60s: Sam Cooke. It takes a particularly close look at the mysterious circumstances surrounding his violent death. Was he killed in self-defence, as officially claimed? Or was it murder, as his family, friends and conspiracy theorists believe? A question that is worth asking, even if it ultimately remains unresolved. Because simply looking into the circumstances of his death, controversial to this day, affords insights into the social context during the founding years of pop music, which Sam Cooke defied more forcefully than any other black musician of his day.

Wayne Shorter’s maxim is to reinvent his music in each concert, always again in the radical originality. The film accompanies the great saxophonist and his band as they ready themselves for a concert on November 3, 2012, in the Salle Pleyel in Paris and observes the effect of the music on their creators, who are normally much too busy with creating the new rather than to deal with music already played.
