BILL EVANS & THE VANS BAND ALL STARS
BILL EVANS - saxophones
JOHN MEDESKI - hammond, fender rhodes
FELIX PASTORIUS - el. bass
KEITH CARLOCK - drums
Inventive, contemporary, and masterful. These are some of the words that have been used to describe the musicians in this “one of a kind“ group assembled by renaissance saxophonist
Bill Evans (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Soulgrass) Bill has had a successful solo career for over 30 years and continues to innovate with fresh ensembles. John Medeski is a pioneer and keyboard legend. (Medeski, Martin & Wood, Mad Skillet, Phil Lesh). Keith Carlock has been at the helm of some of todays biggest bands (Sting, Steely Dan, John Mayer). Felix Pastorius has been on the cutting edge of electric bass for over two decades (David Byrne, Cindy Blackman-Santana, the Yellowjackets). They are all here because they want to be - creating music and connecting with audiences that can feel their contagious grooves and melodies. Bill has this to say, “We have all played together in different projects over the years, and we are very excited to finally be on the same stage together, as a group, making music. We have talked about this combination of musicians for years and it’s finally happening!“
This group will be playing music from their collective backgrounds and influences - soul, funk, neo-jazz, pop. There are no boundaries

NEW ALBUM WE ARE GONNA BE FRIENDS (CHILDREN'S ALBUM):
You can download a wav file of excerpts of all ten songs from: https://spaces.hightail.com/receive/PbnSdwwXsq
For over 43 years, this unique, genre-crossing vocal/guitar duo has cast its passionate musical spell worldwide, capturing the hearts of lovers, the respect of jazz buffs and the jaw-dropping awe of guitarists and singers.  Their recording career took off with 1988's groundbreaking Tears of Joy.  Now, 13 albums later, they have toured the world incessantly as a duo, appearing at times alongside Miles Davis, Count Basie, George Benson, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and many others.  They have long been regarded by musicians and critics as the standard for an improvising musical duo.  Their music spans Duke Ellington, the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix--rock, pop, jazz, gospel, blues, folk, world and classical--classics and originals, but inevitably finally just sounds like Tuck & Patti.  Transcending categorization, Tuck & Patti are known for individual virtuosity in service of the greater goal of expressing love, hope and gratitude through their musical collaboration.

Born in Guinea and known as the master of the Kora which he makes resonate in a modern way, Sékou Kouyaté expresses his art through this traditional instrument.
At twelve, he adapted his kora by electrifying it and experimenting with fast riffs and distortions, inspired by funk and jazz.
Offering an instant, spontaneous and vibrant creation, imbued with the Mandingo sounds of the Kora and all the influences
of these three heterogeneous musicians with rich backgrounds of encounters.
The multi-awarded Kouyate's music is rooted in his West African traditions and influenced by the contemporary Blues, Soul, Funk and Jazz, that has also been his early inspirations. Sekou Kouyate solo album SABARU, One World Records 2015, won the GOLD MEDAL GLOBAL MUSIC AWARDS 2015, and was selected for 'World Music Charts Europe Best 100 Albums 2016.

MALTED MILK (Except France)
In its current form, enhanced by the arrival of brilliant new elements, the continent's most fearsome soul band is a true war machine. Malted Milk recently celebrated its 20-year career in a Stereolux filled with fans over-excited by its electrifying repertoire propelled by its brass section.
Born as a blues duo, as it grew up, Malted Milk gradually invested its spirit of the African American soul until it found a perfect alchemy in recent years. The band stands out from other European ensembles for its ability to escape the blues cover band syndrome through its creativity.
It's a mixture of funk, brass riffs, slender guitars, nervous bass lines and organ growls ... enhanced by Arnaud's voice.
A real bomb of the French soul funk blues scene!
