The perfect summer jazz album! With her tenth release as a leader Judy Niemack pays tribute to the warmth of the human spirit.

Judy brings fresh interpretations and jazz savvy to classic standards, French and Italian Pop songs and originals. Highlights include classics by Gershwin, Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini, and Dubin and Warren’s rarely heard “Summer Night”. “Le Soleil Donne” celebrates mankind’s equality under the sun, and the hope for a better tomorrow. Join Judy for a special end-of-summer NYC appearance.

Accompanied on the CD by an all-star band including Jeanfrançois Prins, Bruce Barth, Rufus Reid and Bruno Castellucci, she presents fresh interpretations of jazz standards and French, Brazilian and Italian Pop songs, including “How About You”, Ivan Lins’ “Velas”, “Estate” and "Summer Samba". Other highlights include new arrangements of classics by George Gershwin, Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini, and Dubin and Warren’s rarely heard “Summer Night”, plus compositions by Richie
Beirach and Jeanfrançois Prins featuring Judy’s original lyrics. French Pop artist Laurent Voulzy’s “Le Soleil Donne” (In the Sundance), celebrates mankind’s equality under the sun and hope for a better tomorrow.

“She sings like an angel, or at least like an angel who’s heard Basie and Miles: she’s got intonation that whole choruses would kill for, and a voice that never loses its soft sheen even at hot tempos and high volume. She’s one of the few singers who actually should sing scat solos, since she thinks so much like a horn player."

With this brandnew quartet, Belgian guitarist Jeanfrançois Prins will present his own personal "Road Movie". His lyrical fusion of romance and hard-swinging guitar is influenced by his encounters not only with most of today's masters of modern Jazz, but also with world music, latin Jazz, French chanson and Pop, and all the cultures he is exposed to in his numerous travels and musical meetings.
    After a busy summer of touring in Europe (Belgium, Germany, Italy), the U.S. (Chicago and NYC), and a couple of recording sessions at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Jeanfrançois is back home at the A Trane. From heartfelt ballads to muscular up-tempos, his new quartet will perform Prins' originals and his arrangements of modern Jazz standards and songs.

For 10 years, my dear friend Andreas Schmidt has been blessing the A Trane with a wonderful Super Session almost every Monday. This week marks the Anniversary and features him with some of his more or less regular guests, featuring his unique mix of off-the-wall avant-guarde, Lennie Tristano lines, and freely interpreted Standards. A definite Must!

Jeanfrançois has been followed and interviewed by a team of Belgium's national French-speaking TV: RTBF. The main reason was the 5th anniversary of 9/11, but they also filmed a rehearsal of his original music with a great NY group of musicians, as well as a singing workshop where he accompanied Judy Niemack and her students.
The interview (it should be fairly short once edited) will air on Sep. 11, in the 1 P.M. RTBF news program (RTBF or RTBF Sat, you can also watch it on the international French-speaking channel TV5), and might appear again on RTBF's evening news program.
Jeanfrançois hopes that each and everyone of you is well and can use the painful memory of these awful events to remember what is really meaningful and important in your life.

Gern möchte man glauben, dass die Größen im Jazz wie z.B. Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan oder Carmen McRae als begnadete Sängerinnen nur ihren Intuitionen folgten. Aber Basis ihrer Erfolge war auch solides Handwerk. Das Erlernen dieses „Handwerks“ schafft und erweitert Spielräume in persönlicher Interpretation und Improvisation, um den eigenen Weg im Jazz bewusst entwickeln zu können:
- Phrasierung: meine Stimme beim Singen von Jazz-Stücken
- Arrangement: Auswahl von Tempo, Rhythmus, Tonart, Schreiben eines Basic-Arrangements
