“Claus Raible hat ein eigenes Format wie international nur wenige, die sich in diesem Genre bewegen. Mit seiner superlativischen Technik und seiner geschmeidigen Geläufigkeit ist Raible ein furioser Stilist.” Stefan Michalzik (Frankfurter Rundschau, 2022) Das Trio des bekannten Klavier-Virtuosen packt einen, spricht, Logik und Leidenschaft verbindend, alle Sinne an und macht noch den kritischsten Hörer zum Klanggenießer. Die vollkommene Musikalität, die das Trio an den Tag legt, basiert auf der Tatsache, dass jedes Mitglied nicht nur seine persönlichen Fähigkeiten entfaltet, sondern auch Teil eines lebendigen, produktiven musikalischen Organismus ist, der dem Zuhörer unendliche Freude bietet. Er trat dabei auf zahlreichen internationalen Festivals auf, darunter das Montreaux Jazz Festival, Jazz Fest Wien, Aspen Jazz (Colorado), Midem (Cannes), Trieste Loves Jazz, Denver Jazz Fest, Belgrade Jazz Festival, London Jazz Festival, Internationale Jazzwoche Burghausen u.v.a.read more...

A Magical Vocal Jazz Weekend

Angela Grey - Vocals
Julian Schmidt - Klavier
Xaver Hellmeier - Schlagzeug
Jean-Phillipe Wadle - Bass

10minimum10minimum

Singer-songwriter and jazz vocalist, Angela Grey, holds no punches. In a genre too often heavy and esoteric, Angela brings a simplicity to her storytelling. Raised from Manhattan to Manila, free-spirited and joyful, her distinct voice and warm timbre has been compared to the "Queen of Blues", Dinah Washington and sultry shades of Amy Winehouse. Set to release on April 12th, 2024, Angela's debut album will feature two of her original songs and six jazz standards including "Evil Gal Blues", "You're Getting to Be a Habit With Me" and the title track, "Prisoner of Love." Following the release of her album, Angela will embark on a US & Europe "Evil Gal Tour" with her guartet. She first cut her teeth in NYC after stepping foot in the iconic Small's Jazz Club in the West Village at just 16 years old and has since moved to France, quickly becoming a regular on the Paris jazz scene, including a frequent spot at the infamous Duc Des Lombards. Her album pays tribute to the musical greats of the past who shaped who she is today. Recorded in the heart of Paris at Zoot Studios (Peter Bernstein, Kirk Lightsey, Steve Williams), her quartet is inspired by the Nat King Cole Trio; piano, guitar and double bass. Prisoner of Love was made with an international team that include mixing by Matt Mysko (ex-Abbey Road Studios) and mastering by Maria Triana (Wayne Shorter, Britney Spears, Jazz at Lincoln Center).read more...
