This documentary shows a song cycle by the Danish singer-songwriter Trinelise VĂŚring and pianist Jonas Berg, featuring the Scandinavian Barokksolistene ensemble headed by solo violinist and artistic director Bjarte Eike. VĂŚringâs songs possess a timeless quality with their gracefully swung melodies, while they are truly modern at the same time with their âin your-faceâ approach to catchy hook lines and the largely groove-based arrangements. The music balances intelligently between being clever and being emotional. It is executed brilliantly by some Europeâs finest baroque musicians of the Barokksolistene ensemble. VĂŚring is a remarkable vocalist who masters both the intensely fragile and the more powerful nuances. She is complemented by a pianist whose exquisitely tasteful playing builds on the great Scandinavian piano tradition, adding a pinch of Swedish folklore, pop music and free jazz. In combination with Trinelises unvarnished voice, the unique timbre of the baroque instruments, the vibrato-less sounds, and the âon the beatâ approach to groove, the music is far removed from the usual romantic setting of sweet pop songs. This music has edge, and is performed with engrossing vitality… 2014. koncert

New Orleans, U.S.A. Self-taught musician Les McCann became the international jazz superstar he is today after the release of his album âSwiss Movementâ which he recorded in 1968 with the late Eddie Harris.

McCann moves comfortably from one jazz style to the next, demonstrating impressive chops in all areas, from bop to fusion, and from vocals to the keys of the electric piano, clavinet, or synthesizer. His mix of church and swing music captures the spirit of the time perfectly, even when an illness prevented him from playing with more than one finger at a time in the early 1990s. In todayâs broadcast, McCann takes gospel back to New Orleans, where he played this set in 1983.
