MISS C-LINE & The Rabidz

Saxophon

Piano

Keyboards

Drum Kit

MISS C-LINE is an up-and-coming neo-soul singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist from Bern/Basel. Her music blends soul and groove with elements of hip-hop and jazz to create a unique and memorable style. Inspired by greats such as Erykah Badu, The Roots and Robert Glasper, MISS C-LINE writes and produces all her songs herself. This earned her a nomination for the Kick Ass Award in 2019, three appearances at the SRF Bounce Cypher, her debut album Surreal was included in international playlists and in 2021 she won the New Generation Jazz Lab Contest. The concert ticket is also valid for the party afterwards.

Justina Lee Brown

Percussion

Although the hearty and highly talented Nigerian singer Justina Lee Brown and her band have been thrilling audiences at all blues challenges for years, the blues is only one facet of her music. African and Caribbean influences, gospel, soul and R&#x27;n&#x27;B are also at the heart of her charismatic performances, in which she impresses as an energetic performer with a phenomenal voice. In her home town Lagos, Justina Ogunlolu faced the tough struggle for survival as a street kid and fought her way through to the big stages of Europe with perseverance and stamina. After a few performances in Switzerland, Justina and Nic Niedermann crossed paths. The guitarist, composer and producer has been one of the driving forces in the Swiss blues scene for years. Nic becomes the new bandleader and puts together a top-class band for Justina. Justina Lee Brown finally gets the long-awaited opportunity to record her own songs, which she draws from a huge pool of intensive experience, and to realize them for her brilliant stage performances.

Joseph Bowie’s Big Band Funk - The Legendary Music of Defunkt

Joseph Bowie is the brother of the big band musician Byron Bowie and the co-founder of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Lester Bowie. Joe himself founded the punk-funk-jazz group Defunkt in 1978. The band released several genre-bending albums in the 1980s, and their music has been called one of the most adventurous sounds of the last quarter of the 20th century. Over the past 20 years, Joe Bowie has also worked to adapt this music for big band. One of the arrangers Joe has worked with since 2011 is Ed Partyka. The ZJO is looking forward to an energetic evening of danceable hits from the long history of Defunkt.

Leyla McCalla

Cello

Banjo

Deeply influenced by Creole music as well as American jazz and folk, Leyla McCalla&#x27;s music is at once earthy, elegant, soulful and witty. Her music vibrates with three centuries of history, yet feels strikingly fresh and unique. Leyla McCalla draws inspiration from her past and present, whether it&#x27;s her Haitian heritage or her adopted home of New Orleans. The bilingual multi-instrumentalist and former member of the Grammy-winning African-American string band, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, has developed a distinctive sound that reflects her roots and her experiences. Her latest album, &quot;Breaking the Thermometer to Hide the Fever,&quot; explores the legacy of Radio Haiti, the first private Creole-language radio station in Haiti, as well as the journalists who risked and lost their lives to be on the air for nearly 50 years. The result is simultaneously a work of radical performance art, historical scholarship, and personal memoir, a sweeping and powerful meditation on family, democracy, and free expression that could not have come at a better time.

Masterclass with Azymuth

One of Brazil&#x27;s most influential and longest running bands, Azymuth has created an entirely new sound: Jazz-funk and samba fused into an infectious blend known as “Samba Doido”. They have played with just about everyone throughout Brazil’s golden era of MPB, jazz, soul and funk (including Jorge Ben, Milton Nascimento, Tim Maia, Elis Regina and Marcos Valle, to name just a few). In addition to their influence on jazz and funk, Azymuth&#x27;s worldwide contribution to electronic music and hip-hop is undeniable. They have collaborated with greats such as 4hero, Madlib and Jazzanova and can be heard in various remixes. Fifty years after their formation, Azymuth have released over thirty albums and are still busy writing, recording and playing. And with the same energy as at the beginning of their career. Even after the unexpected death of drummer and founding member Ivan Mamão Conti in the spring of 2023, there are no signs of fatigue. With Renato Massa, one of Brazil&#x27;s most renowned drummers, a more than worthy replacement has been built to honor Mamão&#x27;s memory and legacy and keep the spirit of Azymuth alive. This masterclass is an opportunity for both musicians and music enthusiasts to ask the Jazz Funk legends any questions they&#x27;ve always wanted to ask. The conversation will then evolve depending on the composition of the participants. No registration required. The Masterclass will be held in Portuguese with simultaneous German translation.

Schmidi Schmidhauser & The Hasta Luegos

Accordion

Abschiedskonzert

What luck: Mrs. Schmidhauser buys a guitar but doesn&#x27;t find enough time to practice. So she gives the instrument to her boys. Beat and Jürg don&#x27;t waste much time and start rocking. Some time later Beat, meanwhile matured to Schmidi, plays his first gig at the age of 14. Today, about 1500 concerts and 46 years later, Schmidi delights us for the last time live on stage, because – and to our regret – &quot;it&#x27;s enough of a good thing.&quot; From now on, he wants to devote himself to things that have came up short in all these years. Schmidi has experienced indescribable things on a thousand and one stages, on the road with &quot;Stop the Shoppers&quot;, &quot;HOT DC&quot;, &quot;Los Hobos&quot;, &quot;Chica Torpedo&quot;, &quot;Traktorkestar&quot;, &quot;Oso loco&quot;, with Polo, Kuno, Endo, Büne, Sina, Lo &amp; Leduc - and again and again with Jürg/Jiri, the beloved brother. So then: clear the stage!

Masterclass mit Ida Nielsen

kostenlos

This Masterclass was originally announced for October 13, 2023. Ida Nielsen&#x27;s life was turned upside down when she joined music legend Prince in 2010 and started touring with The New Power Generation and the 4-piece powerhouse rock band 3rdeyegirl. But it wouldn&#x27;t do justice to Ida Nielsen&#x27;s musicality to reduce it only to this time, because she has not only been playing in many different formations for years, but is also on the road with her own project. On her sixth solo album, More Sauce, Please! the songwriter and bandleader visibly influenced by her musical background combines funky beats, slap-bass virtuosity, lively rap and pop earworms. What fascinates the bass virtuoso about funk? How did she get her own signature instrument, a 4-string Sandberg California electric bass? This masterclass gives musicians and music enthusiasts alike the opportunity to ask Ida Nielsen all the questions that are burning on the tip of their tongue. The conversation will then evolve from the composition of the participants. No registration required.

Summer Pearl

From her hometown of London, singer Summer Pearl is currently taking the music world by storm. Her sound of jazz, soul, hip-hop and dub, is reminiscent of the one of the great Erykah Badu, both powerful and touching at the same time. Summer Pearl herself describes it as &quot;a meditation on my past and a reflection of our present. It is both a personal and political message exploring black and female liberation and love gained and love lost.&quot;

Album Release im Moods

Alina Amuri&#x27;s record launch will take place as part of the Schiffbaufest. The concert is free of charge, but we ask our guests to reserve a ticket via the link in order to have guaranteed admission. With different cultural influences and a lively and bold message, Alina Amuri manages to create magical musical moments. Born in DR Congo Kinshasa and raised in Switzerland, the singer and multi-instrumentalist has developed her own homemade style between Afro, Neo Soul and Trip Hop in the last ten years. An unforgettable voice meets Congolese percussion joy and surprising flute interludes, releasing forces where optimism returns and dancing becomes inevitable. A sound that creates a new sense of togetherness and the promise that everything will be alright. Alina Amuri&#x27;s music combines influences from Lauryn Hill, Nina Simone and Alicia Keys with a fresh, lively twist. Alina has already been selected for SRF 3 Best Talent, has been nominated for the most important Swiss music award (Swiss Music Awards) and won the Swiss Live Talent Award with her last album (Chasing Traces). At this concert Alina Amuri will present her next studio album Back To You. It is the most personal record so far and tells about her journey back to her birthplace Kinshasa, back to her family roots.

James Brandon Lewis

&quot;A saxophonist who embodies and transcends tradition,&quot; wrote the New York Times about James Brandon Lewis. In just over a decade, he has become one of the most celebrated young jazz artists. An artist who has carved out a niche for himself with his unique blend of gospel, blues and R&amp;B with the stirring sax explorations of John Coltrane, Albert Ayler and Sonny Rollins. His performance coincides with the release of his new ANTI Records recording, &#x27;Eye and I&#x27;, which features him in a trio with electric bassist Josh Werner and drummer Chad Taylor.

Malia

«The Garden Of Eve»

It&#x27;s been a long time since a contemporary artist has paid such beautiful tribute to the blues. A style that deserves to be dusted off a bit. With &quot;The Garden Of Eve&quot;, Echo Jazz winner Malia releases a new masterpiece dedicated to the blues in all its facets. It is an organic album produced by real musicians in a very lively mood. And even if the blues has lost its most faithful missionary since the death of the late B.B. King, Malia and &quot;The Garden Of Eve&quot; offer a nice rejuvenation that gives a modern touch to this genre and will enchant new groups of blues lovers.

Judith Hill

Judith Hill has already worked together with world stars such as Robbie Williams, Stevie Wonder and Elton John and became famous overnight when she sang «Heal The World» at the funeral of Michael Jackson – over 2 billion people watched on television. She appeared in the Oscar-winning documentary film «20 Feet From Stardom», generated a storm of enthusiasm in The Voice in the USA and the Rolling Stone Magazine praised her for her «outstanding powerhouse vocals». Her debut album «Back in Time» (2015) was produced by no-one less than Prince. Following a sensational show in Moods in 2019 to present her second album, «Golden Child», she now returns and brings along a new work: «Baby, I&#x27;m Hollywood!». We look forward to crisp, groovy Funk, Soul, R&#x27;n&#x27;B, to Jazzy ballads, to Judith&#x27;s impressive, distinctive voice and her great piano and guitar playing. For admission, all guests need a valid Covid certificate from Switzerland or EU (QR code) for vaccinated, tested or recovered persons and an official ID card (ID, passport or driver&#x27;s license). The detailed admission rules are listed here: https://www.moods.club/en/program/admission-rules-covid/
