KANDACE SPRINGS

If the paths of jazz, blues and pop mostly run in parallel, it is not at all uncommon for their paths to intersect and come together in a single, and generally quite intriguing, stretch.
For some time one of these intersections has borne the name of Kandace Springs: the young singer, pianist and composer based in Nashville who has already been part of the artists of the prestigious Blue Note label since her debut album.
Her two exceptional godparents: Prince who, still unknown, wanted her on stage in Paisley Park in 2014 for the 30th anniversary of “Purple Rain”. And Daryl Hall, who in 2015 invited her to one of the successful live web sessions with young talents and big stars from her club near New York, “Live from Daryl’s House”.

On the Blue Note stage she will present her 2020 album The Women Who Raised Me, a tribute to all the female voices that have been decisive and influential in her career.

A swinging jazz saxophonist, Harry Allen is a highly regarded performer whose musical inspiration and interpretive approach come from the giants and innovators of mainstream saxophone, including Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Stan Getz, Illinois Jacquet, and Lester Young. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Allen has generally eschewed the modern, avant-garde, and impressionist schools of jazz of John Coltrane, Archie Shepp, and Ornette Coleman.

DALINE JONES & DIEGO RIVERA

Daline began singing as a child and her singing and songwriting chops are the legacy of her famous Beat-poet father and jazz surrealist, Ted Joans. He  made sure Daline spent her early years listening to, and seeing, the Jazz greats in the clubs of their native New York City. That  exposure lead her to pursue a life in music. Her earliest recording sessions were for Lionel Richie and the Commodores, working with the top studio session vocalists in the business. She released several of her own critically acclaimed albums; achieving Billboard’s “Top 20” on the Contemporary Jazz charts.

She headlined the famous Starlight Room in San Francisco, Daline was the lead singer for the renowned Starlight Orchestra from 1995-2005, and has since performed around the world with pianist/composer Diego Ramirez.  They have written and recorded many original songs and recorded several albums and CDs.  They are currently at work on a new album of original songs for release in early 2024 and will perform in Copenhagen in Summer 2024.
