Sabine Kühlich
The great German
Jazz-magazine „Jazzpodium" gave Sabine and Sheila Jordan
in June 2006 the cover-story: "Absolutly outstanding
German Jazz-singer". The compositions on her new album
were written in Harlem. The 77 year young scat-legend
Sheila Jordan joined for some songs: "This is wonderful
and unique; and a great band too!". Sabine is
accompanied by a superbly variable and intelligently
grooving quartet, which moves to and from bossa and
modal, bebop and ballad with amazing surefootedness. The
band leader sings in multi-lingually with a powerful
voice, sensuous expression and the unmistakable
character of an artist who is heartfelt in her desire to
let the listener in on her profound musicality. Latest
CD: TWO GENERATIONS OF SINGERS Sheila Jordan + Sabine
Kühlich.
In Cafe Vivaldi Sabine
will perform her NY-Jazz-Compositions, Swing, beautiful
ballads, using percussion-instruments. A fantastic
Bass-Player joines the Trio: Joris Teepe (www.joristeepe.com
- originally from Holland - now a real New Yorker. On
Piano: Stefan Michalke
www.stefanmichalke.com like Sabine he is from
Cologne too. Pure Jazz-songs - new and wellknown. Bossa
or modal, bebop or ballade: the spirit of black legends
swings along.

Alfonso Velez
Lyrical / Folk / Blues
Alfonso is
breaking ground with his brand of lyrical rhythm and blues,
yet he's honoring the sense of pace and timing the greats
had.
The first son of a Mexican mathematician and a Cuban
architect, Alfonso has lived in Moscow, Mexico City, San
Juan, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Trenton, Washington, DC and
now New York. He performs constantly; active from Montreal
down to Florida, London over to Rome, drawing crowds young
and old. In Washington, he put together an eight-piece
ensemble lush with horns, hammond, and a hell of a lot of
vibe for his debut on DJBoy records. XM Radio invited him to
record his full-length album at their Performance Studio in
March 2007. The resulting eleven-song session titled, MAKE
IT PLAIN, is available exclusively through DJBoy Records.

Dan McCarthy
Tucksy
is a New
York-based genre-bending jazz band that focuses on the
original writing of band-leader Dan McCarthy, as well as
cover songs from well-known rock and pop bands.
Conceptually, the band strives to create music that breaks
the rules of jazz by blending bluegrass, rock, and country
with a post-modern jazz aesthetic, and by fusing the grooves
of hip-hop and funk music with the improvisational approach
of jazz. Most importantly, the band focuses on melody and
song-structure and creates music that appeals to a broad
spectrum of listeners. Oh, and let it be known that this
band is led by the combination of banjo and vibraphone; a
first in the jazz world…. and bluegrass world… and country
world… and rock world… But don't let the novelty fool you,
as the pedigree of the players and the quality of the
musicianship is apparent from the first note.
"Dan gives new visions of the mallet instrument..."
--AllAboutJazz-New York
"INTERWORDS is one of the top 10 jazz CDs of the year"
