JAZZMEIA HORN

Jazzmeia Horn is one of the promising young musicians of the new jazz generation according to Downbeat: the leading jazz magazine  listed her as one of the ’25 for the Future’. The singer from New York is not only influenced by the virtuosic vocal lines and scats of Sarah Vaughan, but also by the R&B of Mary J. Blige and Erykah Badu, as well as hip-hop and spoken word. She also developed a talent for composing and arranging by collaborating with the likes of the WDR Big Band and Metropole Orchestra.

At the age of three, Jazzmeia Horn already started singing in a gospel choir. She was allowed to sing with the adults, as she was too loud for the children’s choir. Since then she has won all the important awards, including the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz International Vocals Competition. She has received compliments from famous colleagues such as Al Jarreau and John Hendricks. She has been compared to legendary singers such as Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan, as well as to successful contemporaries such as Gregory Porter and Cécile McLorin Salvant.

LINDA MAY HAN OH QUARTET

Renowned bassist from New York presents compositions from her album The Glass Hours.

From rock solid accompaniment on double bass to elastic electric bass lines: Linda May Han Oh has mastered it, and always seems to become one with her instrument on stage. On top of that she is an excellent composer of tunes that seem ‘simple and clear, many with folk-like melodies, but are actually complex constructions involving intricate overlays of different densities and activity, sometimes coming into phase, sometimes gently straying apart’, according to Downbeat.

Her new album The Glass Hours is a collection of works based on abstract themes of the fragility of time and life. Vocalist Sara Serpa plays an important role on the album. She will perform here in the band alongside pianist Fabian Almazan, who released The Glass Hours on his label Biophilia Records. Linda May Han Oh is in high demand as a bassist and is known for playing in the Pat Metheny Group, as well as with American jazz greats such as Mark Turner, Dave Douglas en Joe Lovano.
