LUAH

Lebensfrohe Leichtigkeit trifft sanfte Sehnsucht: Nach „Sunlit“ und „Movimento“, ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Jazzpreis 2023, veröffentlicht das Kölner Vocaltrio LUAH um Elsa Johanna Mohr nun sein drittes Album. Mit „Equilibrio“ (GLM Music) machen sich die drei Musikerinnen auf die liebevolle Suche nach Gleichgewicht und balancieren darin unterschiedlichste Stile und Stimmungen behutsam aus.

Diese Ausgewogenheit schöpft aus einer reichen Vielfalt. Neu ist dabei nicht nur ein erweitertes Instrumentarium, sondern auch die Beteiligung von Lena-Larissa Senge und Ula Martyn-Ellis am Songwriting. Dadurch entsteht ein reicher Eklektizismus, der immer wieder für musikalische Überraschungen sorgt.

Corinne

Born: March 7

Corinne is an era-blending, genre-bending artist with a jazzy vibe  — a vocalist who blurs the line between yesterday and tomorrow. Her sound is cinematic and sultry, weaving deconstructed bossa nova, lush jazz harmonies, and pop hooks into something irresistibly modern.

Think 1962 Manhattan cocktail bars colliding with today’s indie scene. The music feels timeless like standards you’ve never heard before.

“I want to pioneer a modern sound, integrating vintage and soulful vibes to reach new generations," says Corinne.  “I am passionate about being a genre bender - fusing elements of traditional pop, jazz, Brazilian bossa nova, and any sound that helps me tell my story.

Sant Andreu Jazz Band

Active since: 2006

The Sant Andreu Jazz Band is a Barcelona-based orchestra founded in 2006, made up of young musicians between the ages of 6 and 21. Every year, two or three members leave and new ones join. More than 90 young musicians have been part of the SAJB. Most of them are now professional musicians, and some have international careers, such as Andrea Motis, Rita Payés, Èlia Bastida, Alba Armengou, Joan Mar Saqué, among others.

The organization was founded and is led by Joan Chamorro. We are a non-profit project where the members of the youth orchestra pay nothing for rehearsals, individual lessons, or the albums we record. We receive no official funding and are able to do what we do thanks to concerts and support from individuals who love our project.
