Fernwärme Wien Spittelau 16.00
When Al Jarreau - one of the great stylists of jazz and R & B - enters the stage, the boundaries between verbal and instrumental expression are fading and the audience can experience how intensely burning improvisation can be.
N'dambi's solo debut was 1999 with "Little Lost Girls Blues". Her new album „Pink Elephant“ was produced by Leon Sylvers III, who already worked for The Whispers, Shalamar, Lakeside und Gladys Knight.
London born singer Doretta Carter lives in Austria for over 20 years. Audiences love her not only for the music, but also for her sense of humour and dazzling personaility.
Melody Gardot | Juliette Greco
Vienna State Opera 19.30
Juliette Greco has over the years recorded over 50 albums of poetic and political chansons. For her new, sparsely-arranged album called "Je Me Souviens De Tout" Juliette Greco collaborated on her poetic texts with youngsters such as Oliva Ruiz and Christophe Miossec.
With a cool-yet-soulful voice Gardot entices the listener into a realm where time stands still and intense passions bloom. The singer also wrote almost all of the songs on her next release "My One and Only Thrill", a compilation reflecting her wisdom of how the world is.
