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:aja monet
DESCRIPTION:aja monet (US) \naja monet\, lead vocals; Brian Hargrove\, piano; Micah Collier\, double bass; Zach Morrow\, drums \naja monet is a multidisciplinary artist in the finest sense of the word – a poet\, writer\, spoken-word virtuosa\, cultural worker\, community organiser and activist based in Brooklyn. Her writings address the themes of injustice\, persecution\, resistance and systemic violence from East New York to Palestine (she has been deeply involved in discourse surrounding the occupation over the last ten years)\, but also belonging\, motherhood and notions of community. At age 19\, she was the youngest ever Nuyorican Poets Café Grand Slam champion. \nHer debut album\, when the poems do what they do\, (recorded in collaboration with a roster of esteemed musicians\, most notably Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah\, and also Samora Pinderhughes\, Lonnie Holley\, Marcus Gilmore…) is a mind-altering spoken-word cry\, centering around themes of Black resistance\, love\, and the inexhaustible quest for joy....More ... “These aren’t poems for poets\, but poems for everyone.” Last year\, it was nominated for a Grammy Best Spoken Word Poetry Album. Her upcoming book\, Florida Water\, explores migration\, belonging\, and healing amid climate change and systemic violence. \n  \nSaturday\, 5 July at 18.00\nLinhart Hall\nPresale (until 1 July inclusively) EUR 24\, 20*\, regular prices EUR 28\, 24*\nDay pass with the concert in Linhart Hall (aja monet) presale (until 1 July inclusively) EUR 35\, 28*\, regular prices EUR 38\, 32*\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=y5huroEaqI8&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=_Y-X9CpSiQ0″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL7-sx1K2DE&t=1s” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner] \nwhen the poems do what they do by aja monet

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1774959766427{padding-bottom: 2rem !important;}”] \nBilal (US)\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″ icons_position=”left”][vc_single_image image=”4743″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1775126283388{margin-top: 40px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}”]Saturday\, 4 July\, 6 pm – Linhart Hall\nTickets (no assigned seating): presale EUR 25\, 21*\, on the day: EUR 28\, 24*\n* Discounted admission prices for people younger than 25\, older than 65 and\nFestival pass: EUR 115[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1775121353880{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]BUY TICKET HERE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1775128087918{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]Bilal\, vocals;  Randy Runyon\, guitar; Conley “Tone” Whitfield\, bass; Joseph Grissett aka Joe Blaxx\, drums \nAlthough working across a variety of genres – from neo-soul to rock – Bilal says he is “a jazz musician first.” One only needs to experience one of his live performances to understand why: his shows are always partly improvised and never the same twice\, something relatively uncommon among vocalists. Furthermore\, the core of his musical expression\, rests on a solid foundation. He studied jazz at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York\, where – perhaps more importantly than the degree he never completed – he met Robert Glasper\, a frequent collaborator\, through whom Bilal became involved with artists such as Q-Tip and Mos Def. \nA singer\, songwriter\, multi instrumentalist and producer considered one of the United States’ most distinctive musicians at the intersection of contemporary R&B\, neo soul and jazz\, Bilal is a key innovator in contemporary African American music. Acclaimed for his wide vocal range and improvisational skills\, as well as his ability to blend and seamlessly transition between genres\, he has garnered particular praise for his unique\, unforgettable live performances. \n...More ...\nHis debut album\, 1st Born Second (2001)\, was released under the guidance of producers including Dr. Dre\, James Poyser\, and J Dilla. Any attempt to list all of his collaborators would be needless\, but it remains important to note that during the pivotal late 1990s\, Bilal was deeply immersed in New York’s vibrant rap and neo soul scene. His invaluable dedication earned him a place in the experimental collective The Soulquarians – a group of artists blending jazz\, soul\, and hip hop influences (alongside D’Angelo\, Erykah Badu\, Questlove\, Mos Def\, Talib Kweli\, J Dilla\, and Raphael Saadiq\, among others). This truly unique\, if not revolutionary\, collective redefined American Black popular music and left an enduring legacy of musical innovation.\nAs a featured artist on Kendrick Lamar’s song These Walls (as well as several other tracks on the album To Pimp a Butterfly)\, Bilal shares a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Performance\, while his performance with The Roots is widely regarded as one of the most engaging in the entire Tiny Desk series. His most recent album\, Adjust Brightness\, came out last year. While all of this already sounds impressive\, it offers only a brief glimpse into the remarkable credentials of this singular artist.\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=eB4oFu4BtQ8″ css=”.vc_custom_1774951601002{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB7fhyqh0IM&list=RDnB7fhyqh0IM” css=”.vc_custom_1774951606027{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgSjKelFElE&list=RDsgSjKelFElE&start_radio=1&t=6s” css=”.vc_custom_1774951611196{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]
