Julie Campiche Quartet

Saxophon

Harp

Bass

Drum Kit

Video

There are pieces that create a unique, poignant atmosphere with the very first note. &quot;Flash Info&quot; by the Julie Campiche Quartet is one of those. All four musicians use electronic effects to create a fragile yet powerful soundscape in which composition and improvisation are balanced. At the same time, the music leaves plenty of room to breathe and creates impressive sonic contrasts. Julie Campiche&#x27;s musical language is shaped by the big questions of her generation: the vast amounts of radioactive waste, multimedia sensory overload and the search for identity in the digital age.The musical language of experimental jazz harpist, singer, composer, producer and bandleader Julie Campiche is the result of constant curiosity and innovation in music and her great interest in the state of the world. Jazz, classical, electronic music and last but not least avant-garde traits permeate her music - exposing an immediate fragility that sometimes delicately, sometimes powerfully scratches the limit without ever exceeding it. In this way Campiche, who must be called a pioneer of harp jazz, has created her very own music that is unparalleled.

Yarima Blanco Y Son Latino

Vocals

Trumpet

Guitar

Percussion

Yarima Blanco is an outstanding Tres Cubano player and one of the few outside of Cuba to master this unique three-stringed instrument. With her own septet, Son Latino, she combines various Cuban styles with Latin American influences. Her electrifying performances showcase not only her impressive technique on the tres, but also her powerful voice and charisma. Blanco perfected her skills during several years of study in Cuba and quickly became a sought-after artist, also making waves on the international jazz scene with the orchestra ANACAONA. Pancho Amat, international master of the tres cubanos, describes Blanco&#x27;s talent as exceptional. Before and after the concert DJ Saltho invites you to dance.

Malia

Keyboards

Malia 

«The Garden Of Eve»

It&#x27;s been a long time since a contemporary artist has paid such beautiful tribute to the blues. A style that deserves to be dusted off a bit. With &quot;The Garden Of Eve&quot;, Echo Jazz winner Malia releases a new masterpiece dedicated to the blues in all its facets. It is an organic album produced by real musicians in a very lively mood. And even if the blues has lost its most faithful missionary since the death of the late B.B. King, Malia and &quot;The Garden Of Eve&quot; offer a nice rejuvenation that gives a modern touch to this genre and will enchant new groups of blues lovers.

Sun Mi Hong Quintet

Piano

One of the leading emerging talents on the Amsterdam scene, Korean-born Sun-Mi has made a reputation for her inexhaustible creativity and energy. Her music ranges from moments of pure passion to invigorating catharsis, demanding attention and focused listening. During every performance, her band explores its own boundaries, constantly seeking new ways to make a typical jazz quintet sound decidedly atypical, fresh and unique.

Marie Krüttli Trio

The Marie Krüttli Trio impresses, is exciting, colourful and daring. With a mature tone, clear aesthetics and beguiling virtuosity, the Swiss woman manoeuvres herself and her band colleagues through intricate rhythms and interwoven chains of chords. The melodies shimmer groovily, the players appear charming and with a lot of enigmatic wit, always deeply rooted in the European piano tradition and influenced by the sound ideals of Stravinsky and Debussy.

Evelinn Trouble Orchestra

Violin

Viola

Cello

Evelinn Trouble

One year after her fifth studio album &quot;Longing Fever&quot; won the &#x27;Indie Suisse Album Of The Year Award&#x27;, Evelinn Trouble is back on tour with her band. Evelinn Trouble, known for her creative restlessness, her virtuoso voice and her idiosyncratic songwriting has added an exciting pop work to her discography with &quot;Longing Fever&quot; - a break with her psychedelic era but still unmistakably Trouble. It&#x27;s an exciting album that traverses highs and lows with fervour, ranging from Beatlesque love songs to euphoric melodies buoyed by distorted hip-hop. Unexpectedly, new sounds of string instruments join the otherwise dark sound universe of the singer: a string trio expands the band to the &quot;Evelinn Trouble Orchestra&quot;.

آبان |Aban Ensemble

Moods & Jazzhane present

This is a first at the Moods Jazzclub. Nowruz, is the celebration of the arrival of spring and the new year according to ancient Persian calendars. Nowruz, meaning «new day», is an ancestral festivity marking the first day of spring and the renewal of nature. It includes rituals, ceremonies, and cultural events, as well as the enjoyment of a special meal with loved ones. New clothes are worn, visits are made to family and friends, and gifts, especially for children, are exchanged. Celebrated for over 3,000 years in the Balkans, the Black Sea Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Middle East, and other regions, it promotes values of peace and solidarity between generations and within families as well as reconciliation.The Persian trio Aban Ensemble with Mitra Behpoori (Tar, Oud, Vocals), Sara Hasti (Kamancheh, Vocals) and Nora Thiele (Percussion, Daf, Rahmentrommel and Tombak) from Germany and Collectif-Medz-Bazar from Paris will be with us. Look forward to a folk festival of Persian dastgah music and an evening where Armenian, Kurdish, Turkish, Arabic and Persian song traditions meet explosive rhythms and pop elements.

Sarah Chaksad Large Ensemble

Flute

Basset Horn

Ventilposaune

Trombone

Tuba

Sarah Chaksad surprises with compositions for a new, 13-member band: the saxophonist and composer, born in Wohlen in 1983, has carefully assembled her wide-awake Large Ensemble with exquisite German, French and Swiss musicians, a Norwegian and a Brazilian. It is a mixture of friends with whom she already works successfully in her other bands and new ones, whom she has chosen as consciously as intuitively clever - and for whom to write, that can be heard well in the music, great desire and a lot of imagination were ideal prerequisites. Both in the line-up and in the composing process, the idea of how the ensemble as a whole should sound and what music could be realized with the instrumental possibilities was central. However, Sarah then wrote the pieces exactly for the excellent musicians of her Large Ensemble and, with flute, tuba and basset horn - the &quot;tenor clarinet&quot; - additionally for instruments that had never belonged to her bands before. The result is again astonishing and, although the composer&#x27;s signature remains clearly audible, differs from earlier projects. The music is more open and - not only on &quot;Lost&quot; - also more risky, without ever losing flow and drive or intensity. Sarah creates with her large ensemble a richness of colors and moods as never before. In addition, she skillfully builds sound spaces within her pieces again and again for individual instruments and combinations, for dialogues and wonderful solos. She makes sophisticated use of the variety and flexibility that the new band offers her. On her musical journey, the bandleader is, figuratively speaking, sometimes traveling by bus, sometimes by tandem - and always with brilliant musicians who, for all their enjoyable, thrilling art, take us together on an adventurous and in the best way entertaining journey.

Asmâa Hamzaoui & Bnat Timbouktou

Qraqeb

Asmâa Hamzaoui and Bnat Timbouktou (the daughters of Timbuktu) represent a new generation of young women Gnawa performers, breaking new ground in a traditionally patriarchal realm. Asmâa Hamzaoui assimilated the Gnawa musical tradition from a young age through her father, renowned musician Rachid Hamzaoui, learning to play the guembri (three-string lute) from an early age and later accompanying him at celebrations. She formed Bnat Timbuktu in 2012, gradually winning over audiences, until their breakthrough invitation to the Gnaoua Festival of Essaouira in 2017. Their taboo-busting performance, and jamming with Fatoumata Diawara, won them invitations to major festivals in Europe and the USA, even without a recording to their name. Asmâa still comes up against opposition from some Gnawa traditionalists but as she says: “They can talk, but here I am working and they’re just talking.”

Delia Meshlir

Delia Meshlir is a Swiss musician who grew up in Lausanne. Recently, Delia Meshlir, bassist Alex Müler and saxophonist Ilham Moubachir joined forces to record &quot;Calling The Unknown&quot;, Delia Meshlir&#x27;s second album, which is scheduled for release on Irascible Records in March 2022. Her songs are about love, trust and dealing with the passage of time. With her music - laced with pop, psych and indie rock influences like Angel Olsen, Cat Power and PJ Harvey - you are close to her heart and her world. Her voice is gentle and both powerful, leading the audience into this intimate world full of sincere feelings.

Yàbas

Yàbas, a project consisting of the musicians, composers and performers Anna Tréa, Dandara Modesto and Jabú Morales, are the holders of this year&#x27;s Solar Festival Artist Residency. The three of them bring a colourful palette to the stage, focusing on the fusion of synthesizers, guitars and voices with Brazilian pop and folk rhythms. With a repertoire consisting of their own songs and new interpretations, they take the audience on a historical journey through rhythmic traditions and oral traditions of African reminiscences to their musical influences in Brazil today. Told from the women&#x27;s point of view, Yàbas underline the historical position of Brazilian women as a fundamental link in the chain of cultural transmission.

AKI: Lucia Cadotsch – Kit Downes – Phil Donkin – James Maddren

Berlin-based Swiss singer Lucia Cadotsch, leader of the bands SPEAK LOW and LIUN + The Science Fiction Band, meets London ECM artist Kit Downes, drummer James Maddren and bassist Phil Donkin. Together they explore their love of undiscovered songs in an intimate chamber music context. It is the continuum and deepening of their previous work together in Speak Low (with Kit as guest). This unique quartet presents well-known and yet-to-be-discovered songs, as well as original compositions.

Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek

Pipe Organ

Psychedelic Music Explosion

Five countries, one band – between Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy and Turkey Derya Yildirim &amp; Grup Şimşek spin intoxicating Turkish pop music. Since their first joint performance within the context of the the New Hamburg Festival in 2014, the quintet wanders together on the trail of the Anatolian folk icons such as Selda Bağcan, Barış Manço and Özdemir Erdoğan and lends the Tukish heritage its very own laid-back, psychedlic complexion. Yildirim&#x27;s enchanting singing, their Saz playing and the instrumentation of the Grup Şimşek – inspired by Jazz, Funk and Pop – they understand themselves not only as interpreters of elaborate compositions, rather as the art of improvisation. You really should get to experience this «live». If you&#x27;re looking for a interesting stream to go with this, the best thing to do is check out Daniel Spicer&#x27;s reading of his book on Turkish Psychedelic Rock.

Ester Poly

WET WET WET

The detailed admission rules are listed here: https://www.moods.club/en/program/admission-rules-covid/ The duo Ester Poly comprises Martina Berther on electro-bass from Zurich and Béatrice Graf on drums from Geneva. Their music moves between Psychedelic Rock, Punk and New Wave with political and socio-critical song texts. Since the foundation in 2013 the duo has played over 160 concerts in Switzerland and abroad, from big club and festival stages to small DIY gigs. On their second album, «WET», (release on 20. August 2021 on the Swiss label Hummus Records) the two musicians now expand the possibility of the bass + drum tandem with unforeseen sounds and influences from improvised music. The result of the mix is a freshly squeezed Ester-Poly juice with a bitter socio-critical aftertaste.

Jaimie Branch Solo

Jury Konzert 

For admission, all guests need a valid Covid certificate from Switzerland or EU (QR code) for vaccinated, tested or recovered persons and an official ID card (ID, passport or driver&#x27;s license). The detailed admission rules are listed here: https://www.moods.club/en/program/admission-rules-covid/ With her trumpet, the New Yorker lends fresh impulse to Jazz. Her enthusiastically experimental approach is occasionally angry, often riotous, frenetic and uninhibited. Her first concert in Moods (2020) was a wild ride through all possible music genres and was so impressive that a live album was created from it.

Dandara - Estrangeira

Poetic, strong: with her voice and body, songstress Dandara lends expression to modern Brazilian music. On her album «Estrangeira» she sings from a femaie perspective about migration, expulsion and identity.

Finale

Jaimie Branch

«FLY OR DIE»

Jaimie Branch has already contributed to a broad palette of projects, not only in Jazz, but also in Punk, Noise, Indie-Rock and Hip-Hop. Rather less well known, yet equally enchanting, is her work as composer and producer. These can first be discovered on her debut album «Fly or Die»: a 35-minute ride through all sorts of musical genres that knows no boundaries - always held together by the spooky sounds that she extracts from her trumpet.
