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.

Fred Stickley & KING BETA

Born: June 2, 1954

Both my parents loved jazz, so I grew up in a musical family where music was played  constantly. I had my records and my Mom ( played classical piano through her 20s) had her jazz and latin records, everyone from Astrud Gilberto to Count Basie. I fell in love with big band music and anything with horns. Through this I learned to love jazz and would buy records by Blood Sweat & Tears, Chicago and the R&b artist that were popular. My dream was to have a band with a horn section. I tried a few times and failed terribly, by over writing and not having a enough experience doing it.

Her sixth solo album Attitude & Orbit Control is hardproof. A space odessey of sorts, interpersonal as well asinterstellar. Micro- as well as macrocosmic forces at play.Fellow travelers include co-writing guest vocalist RobertWyatt, a new band and new co-producer and drummerMagnus �-ström of e.s.t. as well as lyric contributor SidselEndresen. Jeanette Lindström wanted to move on, this timefurther than before. To write in a new way, to concentratemore on production and instrumentation. She wanted it toreally be "Jeanette-music", whatever that would sound like.

Glam Sam And His Combo

Active since: 2008

Glam Sam and his Combo is the brain child of Mats Samuelsson, a Stockholm-based journalist, writer and music lover.

Back in the days he got involved in a promising indie jazz-pop duo in Sweden, but after a couple of fine demos the dudes quit the game and returned to university.

Suddenly, too many years later, Mr Samuelsson stepped out as Glam Sam, formed his Combo and started a musical adventure based on pure joy. Only one thing was settled: the music should be, must be and will be: Groovy!

During a year of inspirational fun, the debut album evolved and got filled with all the things Glam Sam loves about music: the jazz, the disco, the funk and the soul, the grooves and the coolness as well as fun samples and top vocals. The bubbling jazzy and funky rhythm section is accompanied with swaying pianos, rhodes, groovy guitars and organs, playful horns and, yeah, some vibraphones as well.
