      • Gregoire Maret - Lotos Jazz Festival

        Over the course of the past decade, Grégoire Maret has emerged as a?unique and compelling new voice across a wide spectrum of the modern jazz world. That his chosen instrument - the harmonica - is a?relative rarity in the genre is one element in his singular sound, but far?from the whole explanation. After all, the extensive list of heavyhitters?who have enlisted him for their own projects is unparalleled:?Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Cassandra Wilson, and Marcus Miller?are some of his most prominent employers, none of whom have the?patience to employ novelty for novelty's sake.

      • The NDT dance Studio 2 & Swan Song by S. León and P. Lightfoot

        Studio 2; Choreography by Sol León and Paul Lightfoot; Company, Nederlands Dans Theater; Music by Arvo Pärt - Tabula Rasa (Ludus & Silentium), double concerto for two violin, string orchestra and prepared piano; Sol León and Paul Lightfoot created Studio 2 to mark the company's 50th anniversary in 2009. It is partly a tribute to the rehearsal room where these choreographers have worked for twenty of those fifty years on an oeuvre that currently numbers over forty choreographies. The music they use alludes to Tabula Rasa, Ohad Naharin's first great dance work, so it is also an ode to this significant inheritance. In León and Lightfoot's view, it could just be that the true history of the soul of NDT is permeated in the dance floor, walls and mirrors of this rehearsal room. -----------------------------------; Swan Song; Choreography by Sol León and Paul Lightfoot; Company, Nederlands Dans Theater; Music by Philip Glass, Double Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra. Swan Song (2010) is a farewell ballet. The ballet is dedicated to former dancer Stefan Żeromski, who ended his dance career with this piece. As a muse of León and Lightfoot he was of great artistic significance. Philip Glass created a new composition specially for this ballet: Double Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra. Glass has been one of León and Lightfoot's sources of inspiration for many years now. Swan Song is the first choreography León and Lightfoot made on music composed expressly for them. Recorded on 2013, at the Het Lucent Danstheater, The Hague, Nederlands; TV Director, Jeff Tudor (71 min)

      • Flat Earth Society at Sud Tyrol Jazz Festival in Bolzano

The bizarre society was founded in the 19th century in Great Britain and it still believes that pictures taken from space are false. The eponymous 1998 Big Band from Belgium, however, plays anything but flat music. The claim to fame came for this jazz orchestra, founded by artist and clarinettist Peter Vermeersch in 2004, as he and pianist Uri Caine went on tour. In 2006 they released their first CD, 'Psychoscout', followed by their second CD, 'Clear Me, Perverts!' in 2009. A rebel and anti-conformist ensemble with a lot to offer, from faithful adherence to music rules to intoxicating improvisation. (55 min)
