At 80 years old, Joachim Kühn continues to push boundaries with his French trio, consisting of bassist Thibault Cellier and drummer Sylvain Darrifourcq.

with Michael Olivera & Reinier Elizarde under the title “Wonderland”
Whereas the previous albums „Travesuras“ (2019) and „Vía de la Plata“ (2021) were still characterised by clear influences from flamenco and traditional Spanish music, García has now cast his net wider. There are flamenco borrowings on „Wonderland“, but they are more subtle and sit alongside a whole range of inspirations from modern jazz, classical music, pop, together with influences from the Caribbean and the Middle East. At the same time, „Wonderland“ is also about the inner search: Daníel Garcia invites his listeners to explore their own feelings and thoughts – in “this secret haven where our deepest illusions and most fervent hopes reside, guiding us through the labyrinth of life.

Júlio Resende is a Portuguese pianist who has garnered international acclaim for his unique blend of Fado and Jazz. His latest album with ACT Music , „Sons of the Revolution,“ is a testament to his artistic evolution, seamlessly weaving together traditional Fado melodies with the improvisational freedom of Jazz.
„Sons of the Revolution“ is Resende’s most ambitious project to date, showcasing his deep connection to his African heritage. The album celebrates the end of Portugal’s colonial wars and the triumph of freedom over oppression.
Together with his quartet formed by Bruno Chaveiro on Portuguese guitar, André Rosinha on double bass and Alexandre Frazão on drums, freedom will be celebrated in the best venues in Europe, such as the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg and the Kölner Philharmonie in Germany.
„Júlio Resende is a true innovator,“ says ACT Music label boss Siggi Loch, „He is pushing the boundaries of Fado Jazz and creating music that is both beautiful and thought-provoking“. The pianist has several concerts scheduled in various venues across Europe. The new album is being very well received by the public and critics, looking forward to its presentation on stage.
