Cameron Mizell

Born: October 30, 1980

It’s easy to talk about where a musician comes from. In the case of guitarist Cameron Mizell, one need only pull out a map of the United States and locate St. Louis to answer that question. It’s far more difficult, however, to draw up the coordinates for where a musician has yet to travel. In the case of Mizell, to assert anything so two-dimensional would be like trying to flatten a diamond. Now based in Brooklyn, Mizell has been part of the diverse New York City music scene for nearly two decades, performing in a wide variety of genres from experimental improvisation and solo jazz guitar to bluegrass musicals and salsa bands

Philippe Lemm

"Winner of the International B-Jazz Competition and Winner of Best Solist Prize. The Philippe Lemm Trio is continually proving to be one of the most exciting and electrifying jazz trio's around today. Led at the helm by drummer Philippe Lemm, the group met in New York in 2011, and after one session together, realized that their undeniable chemistry was one that needed to be taken and shared with the world. Comprised of three musicians with exceptional command of their instruments, the group's repertoire draws heavily from re-imaginations of jazz standards in a way that both defies genre and corresponds to any modern jazz fan. The group uses their trust and understanding of one another's musical tendencies to create passionate musical soundscapes, which range from traditional jazz to the progressive rock/classical-influenced music. Hearing the trio is a special and unforgettable experience, and you will be captivated after listening to one piece." Their TV appearance on the TV-show Vrije Geluiden led to sold out concerts throughout The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany on the first half of their European CD release tour. The trio has performed on stages like: North Sea Jazz Festival, Blue Note Note NYC, Kennedy Center, Ronnie Scotts, Pori Jazz Festival and Concertgebouw.
