6th JazzChurFestival • Day 5

Line:
Sara Decker voc, Heidi Bayer flh/tp, Yuhan Su vib, Kaisa Mäensivu db, Mareike Wiening dr

Multi-layered songwriting in finely woven jazz garb. The multi-award-winning voice artist Sara Decker jumps light-footedly through the octaves with her bright and warm voice, carried by her top-class band. Expand signals the expansion of the band into a transatlantic quintet, walking between advanced pop and vocal jazz as skilfully as stylistically confident.

Line:
Valeria Zangger dr/voc, Timo Keller synth/voc, Nikola Jan Gross sax/fx

For Valeria, tempo is much more than a pacemaker: it controls energy, changes perception and influences the emotional tension between stage and audience. In seven times seven minutes, improvised sound arcs are created, carried by pure joy of playing. The pieces grow slowly, make waves and invite the audience to experience the tempo and atmosphere directly.

Public rehearsal: JazzChurLabor with Valeria Zangger (CH) at 3.30 p.m.
Free admission, please make a reservation: www.jazzchur.ch/reservation/jcf25-labor-reservation/

Line:
Björn Meyer eb

Björn Meyer invites you into his irresistible sound universe and enables a completely new approach to the electric bass guitar. Pulsating moods, unearthly sounds, Nordic-sounding folk songs, archaic-sounding hymns, energetic outbursts and minimal patterns merge into a bittersweet unity. Breathtaking and touching, Meyer brings the bass to life.
