SUMMARY:Pino Ninfa: Jazz Spirit\, photography exhibition 
DESCRIPTION:Pino Ninfa: Jazz Spirit\, photography exhibition \nCurated by: Žiga Koritnik \nItalian photographer Pino Ninfa’s exhibition is a journey into the world of jazz. The series of black-and-white photographs is defined by an exceptionally strong narrativeness\, the stories of musicians and their work\, as well as the events before\, during and after a concert. Stories on- and offstage\, in between sacred places and secular architecture\, in the middle of nature or by the seaside\, aim to capture a gesture or a reflection\, waiting for the decisive moment....More ...\n \nSicilian-born\, Milan-based photographer Pino Ninfa has been pursuing a career in music photography for a number of years. In addition to covering major music festivals\, he dedicates himself to developing multimedia projects with various musicians. He served as the official photographer of the Heineken Jammin’ Festival for many years and has covered several editions of the Umbria Jazz Festival. He has showcased his work in various museums in Italy and internationally\, including the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa\, the Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche in Treviso and the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome. \n  \n \n1 July (opening at 7.30 pm) – 5 Sept\nSmall Gallery\nPre-events\nadmission free \n\nSponsor of the Small Gallery

He has a total of twenty gold records and three gold albums\, as well as an impressive songbook of jazz standards. \nIt goes without saying that working with a roster of artists as diverse as Ornette Coleman\, John Zorn\, Joni Mitchell\, and David Bowie calls for tremendous musical versatility and the corresponding technical virtuosity. He cites Miles Davis\, Wes Montgomery and The Beatles as having the biggest impact on his music. \nMetheny has been a key player in fusion jazz for the past four decades\, with a broad community of followers\, also satisfying their preferences for experimentation. We have consistently followed his artistic development\, hosting Metheny with different line-ups at the Jazz Festival Ljubljana three times\, most recently nine years ago. The Pat Metheny Group\, active since 1978 with various changes in personnel\, has decisively shaped the development of the jazz fusion genre and allowed him to evolve his distinctive lyricism under the auspices of ECM Records. \n...More ...\nHe composes contemporary classical and film music\, dreamy solo ballads\, and virtuoso pieces\, creating a canon of new standards\, while also keeping an eye out for young new talents with whom to share his vision. Thus\, in 2016\, which many in the US see as the advent of a new dark age\, Metheny started the Side-Eye project. The name is slang for “raising an eyebrow\,” being sceptical\, distrustful\, or disapproving\, which is how the world has been looking at the US since 2016. Among the first to be invited to his home studio were two brilliant musicians\, pianist James Francis and drummer Marcus Gilmore; their Side-Eye NYC (V1.IV) album instantly earned a Grammy nomination.\nThe latest core lineup of the Side-Eye III+ project consists of Chris Fishman\, a drummer-turned-pianist from the Louis Cole (Knower) orbit and the rising drumming star Joe Dyson\, who brings New Orleans–style vehemence to the trio and has inspired Metheny to write several new compositions specifically for this trio. At Ljubljana Jazz Festival the non-classical guitar–piano–drums trio will be joined by Californian musical up-and-comer on bass\, Jermaine Paul. At the end of February\, their latest album was released on Pat Metheny’s newly founded label\, Uniquity Music Their\, which from now on will house of Metheny’s entire catalogue from 1984 and onward.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qef5Ui5qo6Q&list=PLnM2cuYLcpQ4E4Os-NhFFeFlosbuRc4Ks&index=2″ css=”.vc_custom_1775119546262{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmH_e5IS6DQ&t=5s” css=”.vc_custom_1775119563850{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msypyORj4-g&t=19s” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The moment she first stepped onto the stage\, she did so with total confidence\, forging her own style – uncompromising and unrestrained. Over six decades\, she has moved effortlessly across genres\, performing at the Sanremo Festival\, recording over 20 albums\, and acting in theatre and film – all by following her heart\, in her own words. She has received three Grammy Awards and a Tony Award for her role as the Good Witch in the Broadway musical The Wiz. \nThroughout her career\, she has been driven by personal integrity\, professional autonomy\, and boundless creativity\, and has also given a voice to the voiceless as a UN Goodwill Ambassador. Twenty years ago\, she founded her own record label\, DDB Records\, and became a producer. She holds honorary doctorates from prestigious music universities and was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame. Her musical credentials read like a who’s who of jazz royalty: Sonny Rollins\, Dizzy Gillespie\, Horace Silver\, Dexter Gordon\, Max Roach\, Ray Charles\, B. B. King… \n...More ...\nJust as she once received advice from her role models Ella Fitzgerald\, Sarah Vaughan\, and Betty Carter\, who taught her to be fearless and command the stage\, she now passes on her experience and knowledge to younger generations. Through her Woodshed Network programme\, Dee Dee has recently mentored young female jazz musicians\, sharing her wisdom on surviving in the male-dominated music industry and standing up to discrimination and misogyny. Her protégées include Jazzmeia Horn and Lakecia Benjamin.\nIn this spirit\, and as a direct response to the Gaza war\, she formed the quartet We Exist!\, bringing together young female musicians – pianist Carmen Staaf\, bassist Rosa Brunello\, as well as drummers Shirazette Tinnin and Evita Polidoro. The band’s repertoire\, opposing patriarchy and social injustice\, is like a journey through the history of songs of rebellion and long-unheeded warnings from the past. Dee Dee Bridgewater\, now a musical icon herself\, pays tribute to the timeless luminaries Roberta Flack\, Nina Simone\, Billie Holiday\, and Abbey Lincoln\, reaching for the most haunting songs in the jazz canon\, such as Tryin’ Times\, Danger Zone\, Strange Fruit\, Mississippi Goddam\, I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free – all the while inviting the audience to listen to the lyrics. Truly listen.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWHNexCCTfI&t=2437s” css=”.vc_custom_1775043073905{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ILQSMDI5Ak&t=50s” css=”.vc_custom_1775043100784{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/live/IcA6NvcraME?t=1259s” css=”.vc_custom_1775043125971{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Cécile McLorin Salvant
DESCRIPTION:Cécile McLorin Salvant (US/FR) \nCécile McLorin Salvant\, vocal; Sullivan Fortner\, piano; Yasushi Nakamura\, double bass; Kyle Poole\, drums \nOne of the most distinctive voices of her generation – a singer\, storyteller\, composer and visual artist – is making her Ljubljana debut! Cécile McLorin Salvant is a vocalist and an eclectic curator tracing connections between blues\, theatre\, jazz and chanson. She has received three consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album: For One to Love (2015)\, Dreams and Daggers (2017) and The Window (2018). Among her many accolades\, one of the most notable is her victory at the prestigious Thelonious Monk Competition\, which she won at just twenty-one. \nEverything touched by McLorin Salvant’s voice radiates a distinctive intellectual and lucid playfulness. She turns traditional jazz standards on their head\, going against the grain and thoroughly reworking and refreshing them with her playful interpretations. ...More ...Her music often incorporates rawer\, less polished textures\, leading some to draw comparisons with Fiona Apple. Her latest album\, Mélusine (2023)\, is sung predominantly in French\, while also drawing on Occitan\, English\, and Haitian Kreyòl. Her most recent project is a multi-layered musical tale in the form of a cantata titled Ogresse\, which is being developed into a feature-length animated film – one she will direct herself! \n  \n\nWednesday\, 2 July at 20.30\nKrižanke\nDouble bill\n20:30 Cécile McLorin Salvant\n22:00 Meshell Ndegeocello\nPresale (until 1 July inclusively) EUR 40\, 35*\, regular prices EUR 45\, 40*\n*visitors aged under 25\, over 65 and pensioners\nBUY TICKET \n[vc_row_inner hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1745910177483{padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiPJjYTMYKk” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luIa4rd_wV0″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]\n[vc_row_inner hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1745910177483{padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw0b4cUAjWI&ab_channel=ARTEConcert” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TIaExrONUI” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]

SUMMARY:Meshell Ndegeocello
DESCRIPTION:Meshell Ndegeocello (US) \nMeshell Ndegeocello\, bass\, keys\, vocals; Justin Hicks\, vocals; Jake Sherman\, hammond organ; Chris Bruce\, guitars; Abraham Rounds\, drums\, vocals \nMeshell Ndegeocello is a bass player above all else. A bass player who is also a vocalist\, a poet\, rapper\, political activist… as well as the spark that ignited the neo-soul movement. An uncategorizable artist of great prowess and a brilliant instrumentalist with impressive credentials\, Meshell excels at everything from soul\, funk\, R&B\, hip-hop\, rock and\, of course\, jazz. Ndegeocello started out on her career in the 1980s\, recorded with Herbie Hancock and Madonna\, Tony Allen and Chaka Khan in the 1990s\, and played alongside the Rolling Stones and Alanis Morissette. Known to be a member of and an advocate for the queer community\, her MTV hit\, If That’s Your Boyfriend (He Wasn’t Last Night)\, is regarded as a provocative post-feminist anthem. \n...More ... Ever since her debut album\, Plantation Lullabies (1993)\, her musical genius and political activism have been guided by critical thought and a reflection on radical alternatives. In this context\, her latest project and third Grammy win\, No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin\, can be seen as the culmination of her artistic work. Marking his centennial\, it is an in-depth homage to the writer and essayist James Baldwin\, author of incisive quotes and a trenchant critic of systemic racism. In live performances – dominated by Ndegeocello’s throbbing bass and the Hammond organ accompaniment – the weighty references to James Baldwin\, Audra Lorde and Martin Luther King Jr. patch up the holes in America’s frayed collective memory. \n  \nWednesday\, 2 July at 22.00\nDouble bill\n20:30 Cécile McLorin Salvant\n22:00 Meshell Ndegeocello\nKrižanke\, presale (until 1 July inclusively) EUR 40\, 35*\, regular prices EUR 45\, 40*\n*visitors aged under 25\, over 65 and pensioners \nBUY TICKET\n[vc_row_inner hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1745910177483{padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdFqNtHO4nE&ab_channel=ARTEConcert” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOJOVyKjWAI” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBuOd2MzdT4″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner] \n \n
