Artistes Line Up:
Anthony Strong - United Kingdom
Since releasing his debut major label album in 2013, Anthony has been featured on the front page of France’s biggest daily newspaper Le Figaro, performed to millions live on German television and been described by the British press as “a major talent hotly tipped to take his place in the retro-contemporary jazz pantheon alongside Jamie Cullum and Michael Bublé.”
Hailed as “England’s new jazz superstar”, a support slot with the legendary BB King and an EP release which reached #1 on the UK jazz charts saw singer-pianist Anthony Strong grab the attention of some of the world’s top record labels in early 2012. He eventually signed a worldwide recording deal with iconic French label Naïve, home of multi-million selling singers Adele, Carla Bruni and Katie Melua, and released his debut album ‘Stepping Out’ in April 2013.
After receiving music scholarships to Whitgift School and The Purcell School of Music in England, Anthony funded a degree at the world-renowned Guildhall School of Music by gigging in London and quickly built up a reputation as an in-demand session musician, playing with artists such as Michael Bolton, Marti Pellow and Kyle Eastwood. He also spent 9 months in the West End as Jerry Lee Lewis in the show Million Dollar Quartet, performing to thousands of theatre-goers including jazz-lover Rod Stewart, who came back the next day to tell him that he thought his performance was “f***ing amazing!”
In 2011, Anthony was invited to join pop singer Paloma Faith, English entertainer Tony Christie and jazz legend Buddy Greco for the BBC’s star-studded New Year’s Eve broadcast Live from The Savoy Ballroom in London and made his European debuts in 2012 with festival performances in France, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, Germany and Switzerland as well as 12 sold out shows at the legendary Duc Des Lombards club in Paris.

Dirty Dozen Brass Band - New Orleans (USA)
In 1977, The Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club in New Orleans began showcasing a traditional Crescent City brass band. It was a joining of two proud, but antiquated, traditions at the time: social and pleasure clubs dated back over a century to a time when black southerners could rarely afford life insurance, and the clubs would provide proper funeral arrangements. Brass bands, early predecessors of jazz as we know it, would often follow the funeral procession playing somber dirges, then once the family of the deceased was out of earshot, burst into jubilant dance tunes as casual onlookers danced in the streets. By the late ’70s, few of either existed. The Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club decided to assemble this group as a house band, and over the course of these early gigs, the seven-member ensemble adopted the venue’s name:The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
Thirty-five years later, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world famous music machine, whose name is synonymous with genre-bending romps and high-octane performances. They have revitalized the brass band in New Orleans and around the world, progressing from local parties, clubs, baseball games and festivals in their early years to touring nearly constantly in the U.S. and in over 30 other countries on five continents. The Dirty Dozen have been featured guests on albums by artists including David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Dr. John, Widespread Panic, Modest Mouse, Dave Matthews Band and the Black Crowes.

Mo’ Blow – “Gimme The Boots” - Germany
Here they come: the young German guns! With heavy grooves, earthy sounds and driving rhythms Mo’ Blow is causing an ever-growing international furore. Once again a member of ACT’s „Young German Jazz“series is among the pioneers of the next generation. The Berlin-based jazzfunk quartet has already astonished the scene with their snappy ACT debut „For Those About To Funk“.The Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper wrote, “Party, not with run-of-the-mill grooves, but with quality”, whilst others praised the timelessness and complexity of the album. In addition to good critiques, they also won the “Future Sounds” competition at the Leverkusen Jazz Days, there being no doubt in the jury’s mind: “Mo’ Blow light up a sparkling funk firework on the stage”.
And now, the new release “Gimme The Boots” proves all the more that Mo’ Blow really is the successful hybrid of sounds of the seventies with the contemporary. The group’s signature sound that has developed over the ten years is displayed here in an impressive manner. A musical energy is captured here that the group has earned itself over the years, in hundreds of concerts both in Germany and abroad. The band frequently leaves audiences stunned and surprised, be it in Norway, Russia or Malaysia. Also Nils Landgren couldn’t resist: he produced “Gimme The Boots” just as he did the ACT debut. Mo’ Blow – a band that receives more and more attention beyond Germany. These boys have truly earned their reputation as one of the most energetic acts around.
Energetic spicy groovy funk.
