Sarah Eddy




Sarah Eddy
Pop Francés - Pop - Jazz

Biographie:
Croyez le ou pas, Sarah Eddy, auteur-compositeur, est née le 27 juin 1981. Ses premiers pas sur Terre se transformeront rapidement en pas de danse et ses premiers mots deviendront des notes de musique. C’est donc très jeune qu’elle découvre ses deux passions. Dès l’âge de 5 ans, elle commence à apprendre le piano et à danser sur des airs classiques. Suite logique des choses, c’est à 12 ans qu’elle écrit ses premières chansons.
Au détour d’un couloir de la fac de musicologie de Strasbourg, qu’elle fréquente régulièrement en parallèle de ses études d’anglais, elle rencontre celui qui va devenir son complice, Jean-Baptiste Mersiol. Grande amatrice des voix d’opéra, elle débute le chant lyrique en 2002.
Reflet de ses voyages, de ses rencontres et de ses blessures, son premier album « Dans nos regards », soutenu par France Bleu Alsace, paraît en décembre 2004. Une année de tournée plus tard, le deuxième album est déjà là. « Ni clone, ni clown » (2006) est enregistré sous le nom « Sarah Eddy & Outsiders ». Malgré l’album, elle trouve le temps d’enregistrer à l’occasion d’un hommage à Léo Ferré un duo avec le célèbre Biréli Lagrène. Dans la foulée, Sarah part en tournée où elle alterne répertoire personnel et set de chansons de Léo Ferré avec JB Mersiol. Un complice qu’elle ne quitte plus, en atteste le duo sur l’album « Les animaux de la nuit». Un disque-événement : il est le premier à être accompagné d’un livret en braille.
Insatiable, elle quitte le micro… pour le micro : compilations, publicités ou encore collaboration avec d’autres artistes (Adrien Biry, The Fine Pinocchio, Insert Coïn..). Quand elle ne chante pas, elle monte des spectacles avec des enfants (bien souvent pour des causes sociales ou humanitaires.)
Au fil du temps, elle croise sur sa route Sapho, Pow wow , Sandi Thom, Céline Caussimon ou encore Cookie Dingler, avec qui elle prépare actuellement un duo. Un nouvel album se prépare pour 2008, avec quelques collaborations et de jolies rencontres. En live, Sarah Eddy partagera la scène avec JB Mersiol dans les clubs et avec une formation plus classique dans les grandes salles.

Larry Carlton


Lawrence Eugene Carlton (Larry)
(born 02 March 1948)
Jazz - Acústica - Blues

Is an American Jazz Fusion, POP and Rock guitarrist and a singer, dividing his recording time between solo recordings and session appearances with various well-known bands.
* Larry Carlton is an American jazz guitarist, dividing his recording time between solo recordings and session appearances with more popular bands. Over his career Carlton has won three Grammys for his performances and compositions, including the theme song for the hit television series, Hill Street Blues (1981). It is perhaps Carlton's creative and musical blend of jazz and rock elements that make him such a unique and talented artist. Appreciated by smooth jazz fans for his subtle, velvety style, and also by jazz and blues guitarists for his tight phrasing and impressive technique, Carlton started learning to play guitar when he was six years old. Taking an interest in jazz whilst at high school, his playing style was most influenced by guitarists Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel, and B.B. King. Saxophonist John Coltrane has also made a notable impression on Carlton, and Carlton's live albums have featured cuts from Miles Davis's hallmark Kind of Blue.

Concha Buika

Concha Buika
(1972 - Palma de Mallorca,España)
Soul, flamenco, hip hop, jazz y copla
* Born in 1972 into a family from Equatorial Guinea, Concha Buika grew up alongside a gypsy community on the Spanish island of Mallorca. She is considered a new star in flamenco music, with a remarkable voice that has been described as a mix of tina Turner, Lola Flores and Sarah Vaughan. Buika mixes soul, jazz and funk with raw flamenco to telling effect. After featurings on several deep house productions she brought out her first solo CD in 2006, “Mi Niña Lola”. Buika shares her time between Mallorca and Madrid.

** Soul, flamenco, hip hop, jazz y copla. Concha Buika es una cantante que maneja todos los estilos. Todo lo tiene en su cajón y su estantería. Hay espacios para los grandes éxitos y para las tendencias, pero todo en su justa medida y a su debido tiempo.
Concha Buika es de esos pocos artistas que derrochan voz y energía en el escenario. Se atreve para este su segundo disco, ”Mi niña Lola”, con un repertorio donde la copla reaparece con más fuerza que nunca; clásicos como “Mi niña Lola”, “Ojos verdes” o “Te camelo”, dan buena prueba de ello. Producido por Javier Limón, este disco de Buika se presenta bajo su propio sello Casa Limón y ha contado con la colaboración de músicos de la talla de Niño Josele a la guitarra flamenca, Horacio “El negro” a la batería, Jerry González a la trompeta, José Reinoso al piano, Alain Pérez al bajo, Ramón Porrina a la percusión y la voz aflamencada de Montse Cortes.
Buika presenta su disco más personal, con once grandes canciones que traspasan las formas y donde combina todos estos estilos, que junto a lo sorprendente de sus letras y la sensualidad de su voz, hace de esta cantante una artista única.
Concha Buika, es de origen guineano, per creció entre gitanos. Desde pequeña, por tanto, vivió una riqueza cultural que ha tenido su reflejo en sus colaboraciones como cantante y, sobre todo, a la hora de componer los temas de sus canciones.
Su música es una fusión de estilos muy diversos, que conviven a la perfección gracias al talento compositivo e interpretativo de la mallorquina. Mezcla con pasmosa facilidad el jazz, el funk, el soul, el flamenco y los boleros, con algún toque de electrónica. Igual canta un tema de electro-jazz o una copla. Puede tocar todos los palos y siempre bien. Además, a todas estas cualidades hay que añadir una voz potente y con personalidad y una imagen de las que permanecen en la retina del espectador.
Su interés por la música comienza desde muy temprana edad, pero no fue su pasión hasta que, en Londres, acudió a un concierto del guitarrista de jazz Pat Metheny.
Su interpretación le conmueve de tal manera que toma la determinación de dedicarse a la música. Desde ese momento, forma parte de distintas formaciones locales, siendo acompañada por músicos americanos y mallorquines (Miguel Rodríguez, Jacob Sureda, Noah Shaye, Ben Stivers, Cacho Montes, Mark Rossi, Israel Sandoval, Oscar Guerrero y un largo etcétera). En los 90 colabora con grupos españoles de hip-hop, como Guateque All Stars, triunfa en la escena house como compositora y arreglista y participa en el montaje teatral “Ombra” de La Fura dels Baus, además de participar en la banda sonora de la película "Km. 0" (2000), dirigida por Rafael Albero, con música de Joan Bibiloni.
En el 2000 parte a Estados Unidos, dónde actúa, a razón de tres sesiones diarias, en casinos de Las Vegas, siendo diariamente testigo de la decadencia de ciertos lugares del país norteamericano. Pocas veces cantaba para más de 25 personas (la mayoría ancianos venidos en autobuses), pero este exigente ritmo de actuaciones sirvieron para que se acostumbrara al contacto con el público y, de paso, para perfeccionar su interpretación.
En febrero del 2005 llega a las tiendas de discos “Buika” (Dro Atlantic). Por este trabajo, que ella mismo ha producido, ha contado con la colaboración de África Gallego (la cantante de Mojo Project) y ya ha sido comparada con Erikah Badu. Tras una intensa, conflictiva (que le pregunten a los músicos que la acompañaron) y exitosa gira por España, en marzo del 2006 se edita su segundo álbum de estudio, “Mi niña Lola”, en el que toman más protagonismo la copla y el flamenco, y que ha sido producido por Javier Limón.
