Steve Winwood has multiple talents, a powerful, distinctive voice and excellent keyboard talent, He was initiated in R&B in the 60s with the Spencer Davis Group. At 17 years of age, he formed Traffic, which dissolved in 1969 when he began collaborating with Eric Clapton in the ephemeral Blind Faith. In 1977, he took on a successful career as a soloist, reaching his highest achievements with the publication of the triple Grammy Back in the high life (86) leaving us with classics such as, ¨Higher love¨, ¨Valerie¨, ¨Arc of a diver¨, ¨Talking back to the night¨ and ¨Roll with it¨, all mainly associated with the so-called ¨blue-eyed soul-pop¨, making him a star in the 80s. However, this was the last step in a musical career that also included jazz, psychedelic music, blues-rock and progressive rock. In the 90s, he did many collaborations, punctual sessions, amplified his record production and got Traffic together again in duo format. Within four years, Traffic disappeared definitively.

Stive Winwood’s new album Nine Lives touches on and expands on all the many phases and turns of Winwood’s lustrous career, bristling with his pure joy of music-making. The new songs range from the inspiring “Fly” to the burning “Dirty City” (featuring a guest appearance by long-time friend Eric Clapton, hot on the heels of their acclaimed Madison Square Garden concerts together) to the simmering “Hungry Man.” And they join a canon spanning more than forty years and including some of the most beloved songs of modern pop and rock: With his signature work with the Spencer Davis Group (”Gimme Some Lovin’ “) to Traffic (”Dear Mr. Fantasy,” “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys”), Blind Faith (”Can’t Find My Way Home”) and thirty years of solo ventures (”Higher Love,” “Roll With It”), Winwood continues creating an era-bridging soundtrack of distinctive artistry.

Avishai Cohen presents a new project Eastern Unit at Teatro Cervantes on 15.11.08 at 21.00h during the Malaga Jazz Festival (23 Festival Internacional de Jazz de Malaga). You can a watch and embed a preview and later the concert video, download photos and get more information at TVSpain - AVISHAI COHEN video, Festival Jazz Malaga 08

Avishai Cohen is not only renowned around the world as an influential double bassist and profound composer, but also as a visionary bandleader following in the footsteps of Mingus, Dave Holland, Jaco Pastorius, Ray Brown, Charlie Haden, Stanley Clarke, and even Sting. In fact, every move Avishai Cohen makes routinely causes waves of critical praise.

Cohen’s career, supported by a style of lovely, original compositions based on the traditional texts and music of Israel’s cultural heritage, has been rapid and brilliant. At ten years of age, he studied the piano in his country, and a bit later, became interested in the electric base. In 1992, he moved to New York, where he began to play live with musicians like Ravi Coltrane, Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Paquito D’Rivera and Roy Hargrove, until he became Chick Corea’s steady double bass player. From there, he went on to form his own quartet and after that, a trio. Today, reinforced by young Israeli and American artists, this is the Eastern Unit.
Without abandoning the elements that have made him famous, taking advantage of his native Israel’s fertile mix and even elements from the Sephardic culture, for the very first time, Avishai presents a new project in which singing forms part of his compositions.

Roisin Murphy presented her album Overpowered in a concert at Teatro Cervantes in Malaga on 28th October 2008. You can watch and embed the video, download concert photographs and get more information at TVSpain - ROISIN MURPHY video, Overpowered concert in Malaga .

Irish chanteuse Roisin Murphy is a singular presence in 21st-century pop. Unlike your stereotypical, ultra-focused, career-obsessed modern young pop wannabe, Ms Murphy didn’t particularly wanna be at all. The Wicklow-born and Manchester-raised singer hadn’t sung a note when, at the age of 18, she approached a bloke she liked the look of at a Sheffield club and asked him, ‘Do you like my tight sweater?’ A pretty great chat-up line, all told; good enough to get her the guy (dance producer Mark Brydon), make her the lead singer of a twisted dance-pop duo called Moloko, and serve as the title of the pair’s 1995 debut album. Roisin Murphy fell in love and fell into pop purely by chance. The more you fall into the lush dance-pop swirlings of this, Murphy’s second solo album, the more you feel that it was pop’s lucky day.

Overpowered, a sumptuous 11-track, all-killer-no-filler, electro-disco gem sees Murphy striving to get rid of her Big Hit Albatross. ‘Sing it Back’, you may recall, was the ubiquitous mainstream club anthem of 1999, which would have been all roses and kittens for Murphy and Brydon if it hadn’t been a remix that didn’t really sound like the rest of Moloko’s more trippy, art-funk oeuvre.

No one else but Roisin Murphy would have the guts to wear such an edgy outfit, and pull if off so magnificently. To the Christian Dior Spring 2009 show yesterday, the singer is wore this structured dress from the Gareth Pugh Spring 2009 collection, which was only presented 3 days ago during Paris Fashion Week.

Arturo Sandoval Sextet perform at Teatro Cervantes on 14.11.08 at 21.00h during the Malaga Jazz Festival (23 Festival Internacional de Jazz de Malaga).

Arturo Sandoval reaches beyond the scope of mere effort. His struggles while in Cuba and since his defection have given him more energy and strength, urging him to accomplish and surpass his childhood dreams. Filled with a virtuoso capability, he desires nothing more than to share his gift with others who feel the same intense adoration for music as he does. One frequently speaks of Arturo Sandoval’s virtuoso technical ability or his specialty in high notes, but he who has seen him on the piano, lyrically improvising a ballad, or has had the opportunity to enjoy the diversity of his music, through his compositions from the most straight ahead jazz, Latin jazz or classical, knows that Arturo Sandoval is a prominent musician, and one recognizes that Arturo is one of the most brilliant and proliferous musicians of our time.

Arturo Sandoval has become a protectorate of his idol, Dizzy Gillespie, with whom he has played in countless occasions, sharing the stage with Stan Getz, Billy Cobham, Herbie Hancock, along with other artists like Celine Dion, Tony Bennet, Paul Anka, Rod Steward and Frank Sinatra. He composed the soundtracks for For love or country, inspired by his own life, and Emmy-winner Los reyes del mambo and La familia Pérez.
His prodigious technique, innate jazz sense and super-human resistance work together to produce extroverted and aggressive solos in extremely high registers, all while staying in perfect control of his instrument, with clear articulation, even with rapid tempos. The fact is, Sandoval is just an exceptional pianist.

The show “Signs and Wonders” is a collection that uses fragments from shows like Eva (1998), 5 women 5 (2000) and The spindle of memory (2006). This look-back showcases the artistic and creative work of one of the most significant dancers on today’s flamenco scene.

The silent pools of the night we learn how life is illuminated by light, but intensified by darkness, and darken our eyes and take in the world around us through smell, touch and sound, rather than appearance, shape or colour, we may hear our true feelings. Then we unlock the gateway leading to new creative paths: by exploring who we have been, who we are and who we hope we may be, we come upon signs and wonders which illuminate our lives and may shed light for those who follow - Eva Yerbabuena.

Liz WrightT performs songs from her new album ORCHARD at Teatro Cervantes on 13.11.08 at 21.00h as a part of the Malaga Jazz Festival (23 Festival Internacional de Jazz de Malaga).

The Orchard’s fluid, intimate performances reflect the unpretentious spirit in which the music was created. The project actually began with a set of photographs taken by Wright in her rural hometown, focusing on the orchard of the title, a setting that she’s known since childhood.

“The Orchard started with a trip that I took home to see my grandparents, and watching how they interacted with their neighbors and friends,” Wright recalls. “It got me thinking about where I was born and grew up, and that really inspired me a lot. I took some pictures of that area, and I made a little slide show and set it to the Tom Waits song “I Hope That I Don’t Fall In Love With You” and I took that to Verve and said ‘This is what I want to do.’ We went back to do another photo shoot, before we’d even recorded any music. And when I sat down with Craig and the writers and musicians, I showed them the pictures and played them the Tom Waits song. Everyone responded to them in their own way, and everyone brought their own insight and sensibilities to this concept that I showed them, and that helped to take the record to a different place.

He is a composer and accordionist who has changed the history of the accordion. His style reflects diverse influences that range from French music, jazz, and Mediterranean sounds to Italian rhythms, classical repertoire, and more recently, South American music.

In 1983, he initiated a friendship with the bandoneon player and composer Astor Piazolla, with whom he carried out important projects. His long list of musical collaborations includes other figures, such as Chet Baker, Ron Carter, Charles Aznavour, Michel Petrucciani, Al Foster, Enrico Rava and Toots Thielemans.
Gonzalo Rubalcaba (Havana, Cuba, 1963) is one of the most notable Afro-Cuban jazz pianists on the scene in the last 20 years. With elegance, versatility and surprising technique, he perfectly blends Cuban rhythms with American influences to form a powerful combination of innovative sound. The trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and the double-bass player Charlie Haden quickly noticed him, protected him and accompanied him during his training as leader.
In 2001, Rubalcaba was awarded a Grammy for the best Latin Jazz album for Supernova. Since 2002, along with pianist Chucho Valdés, he’s a resident artist at the Montreal Festival.
