      • Polar Bear - Südtirol Jazz Festival

        Sebastian Rochford - drums; Mark Lockheart - saxophone; Pete Wareham - tenor saxophone; Tom Herbert - double bass; John Leafcutter - laptop, controllers; This quintet, led by Sebastian Rochford, occupies a leading position on the London scene. Nominated in 2003 and 2004 for the BBC 'Rising Star' Jazz Award, in 2005 Polar Bear were nominated for the Mercury Prize. Following their excellent album 'Peepers' (2010), the band took a long break, returning to make it onto the Mercury Prize shortlist in 2014 with 'In Each and Every One'. The tracks on this CD are musical slow food, finely spiced and prepared: minimalism and electronics meet funk, free jazz and complex dance rhythms. Their new CD 'Same as You' was actually conceived of as a single piece, finally resulting in six tracks in which the ensemble develop their sound experiments. (52 min)

      • Troyka - Südtirol Jazz Festival

        Troyka; Chris Montague - guitar, loop; Joshua Blackmore - drums; Kit Downes - organ; Troyka are rooted in the jazz tradition and are at the same time hiply contemporary. Atmospheres often change in a single piece, almost to the point of paradox: hard and aggressive guitar riffs mix with gentle keyboard motifs, while composition and improvisation combine as one. This blend of garage rock, jazz improvisations and dance music defies labelling: the band sound like 'King Crimson for the iPod generation,' as the London listings magazine 'Time Out' put it. One thing is for sure: this trio forms part of a generation of young musicians who reject the limits of genre, with the decisive question no longer 'What is it?' but 'Is it good?'. (44 min)

      • Flat Earth Society - Südtirol Jazz Festival

        Peter Vermeersch - clarinet; Stefaan Blancke - trombone; Benjamin Boutreur - saxophone; Berlinde Deman - tuba; Luc Van Lieshout - trumpet; Bart Maris - trumpet; Michel Mast - saxophone; Marc Meeuwissen - trombone; Kristof Roseeuw - double bass; Bruno Vansina - saxophone; Peter Vandenberghe - piano, keyboards; Teun Verbruggen - drums, dustbingrooves; Pierre Vervloesem - guitar; Wim Willaert - accordion, keyboards; Tom Wouters - clarinet, vibraphone, vocal; Even in the 20th century, there's a society which claims that the Earth is flat: the Flat Earth Society. 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)

      • Pura Fé at the Alhambra in Paris - Au fil des Voix festival

        Pura Fé's music is a happy mix of Blues, traditional Indian music and Folk Song. Her moving voice conveys an ancestral message from the Native American world and tells how history unites southern Native and African-Americans. Mathis Haugs's contemporary folk-blues brings to mind Ben Harper and Moriarty. But comparisons are irrelevant, as Mathis has developed his own musical world. This project draws its inspiration from the comic album 'Rouge Camargue' by Jean Vilaine and Michel Faure. Pura Fé Cresioni (vocals); Eric Longsworth (cello); Mathis Haug (guitar); Stephane Notari (percussions) (40 min)
