Big John's Blues Band
Zhang Ling (voc/b), Werner Fischer (g/voc), Joe Lu (tp), Xiao Song (harm), Ha Ha (dr)
"Zhang Ling, also known as Big John is one of the early pioneers of the Chinese rock scene and widely acclaimed as China's number one blues musician. His music draws heavily on American blues and jazz. Gifted with a singing voice that ranges from the passionate and edgy to the warm and smooth, he puts his heart and soul into every note he sings. With Zhang Ling, the word "Blues" is neither a noun nor an adjective, but an active verb, and he has dedicated his career to the music. Blues is in his blood - it is his very life."

"Swiss/English singer/songwriter and pianist Mya Audrey’s latest release ‘Sudden Breeze’ has been very successful in Switzerland. The album has enjoyed a tremendous amount of radio-airplay since its release in spring 2010 and now is ready to expand beyond Europe. She has chosen to perform her songs live together with two highly skilled and experienced musicians who have been playing all over the world. In each concert the Radio songs come alive and are interpreted freshly and anew in a jazzy way. Its wide dynamic range, its tightness and great intensity allows this trio to uncover the essence of Mya’s original songs."

Schiltknecht (dr)
"CHINESE SOUL" is Beijing-based guitarist Werner Tian Fischer's third release on ALTRISUONI RECORDS (AS 292) and his second album entirely made up of his original jazz compositions for which Jan Krohn, lyricist of the legendary band Starfish & author of the unparalleled novel 'Xica', provided his trademark lyrics. For the recording session he called upon his long-time musical collaborators Jürg Wickihalder on sax & Gabriel Schiltknecht on drums as well as bassist Nesin Howhannesijan from Berlin whom he first met & played with in 2000 in Boston. The record also features outstanding Swedish vocalist Sophie Dunér."
All Standard Guitars
Michael
Giger (g), Werner Fischer (g), Estella Benedetti
(voc)
"Two musicians representing two different generations of guitarists have found their common denominator: timeless compositions, played with metronomic certitude and a clear sense of swing. With tremendous musical sensitivity and without rivalry the two guitarists cover a wide stylistic field from the music of the 1930s until today. Delta Blues meets Django Reinhardt's gypsy heart – a sonic delicacy, to be recommended not only to those obsessed with the guitar."
