ESTONIA: Maigroup-You (2015)
Second studio album consisting of 10 original compositions by the bassist and the band leader Mai Agan. Her music is very confessional and fragile under the surface of strong melodies, beautifully crooked harmonies and hip grooves.
Mai was born and raised in Kuressaare, on an island Saaremaa, Estonia. She played the violin for 8 years and first touched the bass at the age of 16. It was a moment of recognition. Estonian “Jazz King” Tiit Paulus became her new teacher in 2004 and they played together in a band 2+2=5. Agan started playing with the great masters in an early age since Tiit Paulus often invited his friends to play with 2+2=5 (Ain Agan, Lembit Saarsalu, Jaak Sooäär etc). 2007-2010 she continued her studies in Georg Ots Tallinn Music School where Raul Vaigla became her teacher. He had been Mai’s favorite musician for years (he still is!) so these years with Mr. Vaigla were extremely inspiring. He has stayed by her side as a good friend and a supporter. 2010-2011 she studied at Skurups Folkhögskola, 2011-2014 The Royal College of Music in Stockholm and right now is continuing her studies at the master program, under the supervision of local bass gurus Jan Adefelt, Micke Berglund and finally Palle Danielsson, perhaps most notable for his work done with Keith Jarrett from 1974-1979, becoming a member of his European quartet for that period.
In April 2010 Mai Agan won the best instrumentalist prize on Uno Naissoo Compostions Contest.

Segons Morris, l'àlbum completa una trilogia de cd's inspirats en la influència de les arts visuals. La sèrie es va iniciar amb "Colorfield" (2009) i va seguir amb "Camera" (2010). Aquest darrer lliurament fa referència a la influència de l'escultura del segle XX realitzada per artistes com Alexander Calder, Anthony Caro, David Smith i Richard Serra.

NEW VOICES FROM BRAZIL
Singer/guitarist Renato Braz has roots in all three of Brazil’s cultures: Indian, African, and European. His parents are Guarani Indians from Mato Grosso; his mother remarried a “Baiano” from the Northeast of Brazil; and he has lived for many years in Sao Paulo. He and Paul Winter met in 2004 and they have worked since then on the production of Renato’s first album for the US.
This new album, Saudade, available in early December, includes 14 of the most beautiful songs that have
been born in Brazil. Renato will be premiering songs from the Saudadealbum in the Winter Solstice Celebration.
Sao Paulo journalist Luis Nassif regards Renato as “the João Gilberto of the 21st Century."
Renowned singer/songwriter Dori Caymmi says: “Renato Braz is
Brazil's greatest singer.”
Fabiana Cozza is considered by critics and audiences to be one of the most important interpreters of contemporary Brazilian music She was nominated for “Best Samba Singer” award by Brazilian Music Awards. She will be making her New York debut in the upcoming Winter Solstice Celebration.
SAMBA AND SAUDADE IN THE CATHEDRAL
New York’s St. John the Divine is an utterly unique performance venue. It seems appropriate that this largest cathedral in the world also be the most welcoming and open-minded. This is an Episcopalian cathedral, not Catholic. It’s a home for the human spirit, meant to uplift, inspire, awe, unite, and give refuge. It’s the perfect location for the Paul Winter Consort’s ongoing exploration of the turning of the seasons and the tuning of the soul.
(The Consort has also presented in February a “Carnival for the Rainforest”.) The Winter Solstice Celebration inhabits the entirety of this titanic space – two blocks long inside and tall enough to house the Statue of Liberty – taking advantage of its mystery and beauty to create a forest, or a deep night sky, where a giant earth globe spins from the vault like a tiny planet in the cosmic vastness, or the world’s largest tam-tam rises, spotlit, 12 stories high.
“This isn’t just some church,” explains Winter. "The space is transformative. The power and its beauty of its geometry have a monumental impact. Of all the places I’ve played in America, only two could host this event: the Cathedral and the Grand Canyon,” Winter says.
Winter is one of many artists and thinkers who have found a sanctuary under the stone arches of St John the Divine’s breathtaking interior. The largest cathedral in the world, known as “the Green Cathedral,” it is also an ark and incubator for art. In the 1980s and 1990s, it became the center of a vital community of thinkers and seekers working on issues of ecology and environment and world peace. It represented a global forum, where you could listen to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Buckminster Fuller, the Mayor of Jerusalem, the Dalai Lama, Cesar Chavez, Carl Sagan, Rene Dubos, Jesse Jackson, Vaclav Havel, Secretaries General of the United Nations, Nelson Mandela, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Paul Winter's Winter Solstice Celebration is not at all a religious or "church" event. It is a completely secular. The Cathedral has embraced this event, throughout these past 35 years, as simply a celebration of the life-spirit.
Since Paul Winter presented his first Winter Solstice Celebration in 1980, the event has become a forum for world music, featuring guest performers from many cultures, including Russia, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Spain, Armenia, Mali, Tibet, Puerto Rico, and Brazil.

At the symbolic moment of the solstice, a huge, "sun-gong" (the world's largest), rises, with its player, one hundred feet in the east end of the Cathedral.

GERMANY: Ruby-Pilz-Weber & Brochier-Rimbaud #4 (JAZZHAUSMUSIK 2015)
Georg Ruby - p
Daniel "D-Flat" Weber - dr,perc
Elodie Brochier - voice
Following the successful CD release "Deuxieme Bureau" of Georg Ruby and Michel Pilz - it has been awarded as album of the year by the "New York City Jazz Record" - "Rimbaud #4" refers - not in total but centrally - to four poems of the great French writer, read by the wonderful, in Sarreguemines living actess and singer Elodie Brochier. The band improvises in different settings while she performs the poems thus concentrating musical and literary energy. In addition to that the trio integrates Elodie Brochier in some recordings as improvising vocalist without lyrics into the completely free improvised music, thereby creating further exciting tracks of improvisation.

Genecco (Teh-REECE Jeh-NECK-oh) & Her Little Big Band performed 100
shows at The Iridium between 2009 and the present becoming known as

awards and international accolades for their efforts.
Following the lead of her
musical Rat Pack influences, Genecco performs swinging jazz
arrangements of holiday classics plus brand new tunes sure to enter the
lexicon of traditional holiday jazz in the future. A generous
entertainer, whom The New York Times’ Stephen Holden calls “a natural
extrovert whose combined roles of performer, bandleader and M.C. make
her a gregarious cheerleader for the brassy ‘50s and ‘60s Las Vegas
lounge music she adores,” Genecco is always happy to share her stage
with some of New York City’s finest singers so don’t be surprised if
cabaret, jazz, and Broadway luminaries stop by for a drink and a song!
It’s always a party when Terese Genecco & Her Little Big Band are in
the house.
