PUGSLEY BUZZARD

Pugsley comes from that long line of fine New Orleans pugsley_buzzard_2
stride style piano playing singers. Born in Perth and now
residing in Sydney, Pugsley's musical talent is hard to question.
As a solo performer or with his Quartet (The Pugsley Buzzard
Quartet) Pugsley is equally comfortable with the classics of his
genre as he is with his own original compositions all copywrited
under his full name - Pugsley Buzzard Wateringcan.

Pugsley's sound has been compared to louis armstrong, fats waller,
tom waits or captain beefheart. his shows are very exciting and
entertaining and delivered with a vaudevillian nuance and humour.

EL ROLANDO & THE RUSTY CHEVY'S

originally two very young musicians, regis rolando
on guitar and vocals and nicolas wise on drums
sat down together in 2007, just for the fun ofel_rolando
playing and jamming. they have an amazing felling
for blues as rarely met on poeple of that age and a
great maturity on the playing side.
not much later they met max courtois who joined
them on the bass.
since, they've been working on own compositions
and their show is very well balanced between covers
and compos.
nowadays, though the fun side of playing together
is still in the middle of this project, they have become
a very impressive blues trio not to miss!

check their myspace here
come and support!...

Waltzing-Parke RECORDS 5 YEARS CELEBRATION
presents:

MAGGIE PARKE starting 21:00maggie_parke

Maggie is no newcomer to the music scene. She was lead singer
and co-writer in the 80's band Parc Cafe, has written and performed
several songs that have been European film title tracks, contributed
songs to European T.V. series, written the libretto for and performed
in the Modern Opera 'Smalltime' to sold out crowds, and co-written
and produced songs for other artists.
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A., she has lived most of her life
in Europe, but travels to the U.S.A. frequently to work and to spend
time with her family. "I'm lucky to have the best of both worlds,
the convenience of America, with the culture of Europe".
She considers herself basically a writer. "My dream is to someday
write a song that could be viewed as a 'standard' and would be played
and performed by many other artists for the next 50 years."

Her new and long awaited album, EVER, is her first solo project in a maggie_parke_cover_ever
number of years. 15 tracks combining the roots of classic rock with
the input of Jazz and seasoned with, here a touch of dance, there a
splash of ethnic, makes this album a listening pleasure.
This album has a sound that is new and vibrant. From the ethnic
instruments used as hip hop beats in "Roll with the Punches" to the
intimate guitar and voice on "Helpless in Your Hands" this album
is a feast for the ears.

"I've spent a number of years working to hone my craft as a songwriter.
I equate it with the Japanese form of poetry called Haiku. The art of it
is to elegantly express the idea or concept in as few words a possible.
And in the process manage to make them rhyme and work in a melody
and harmonic structure that makes a song. It's a lovely challenge."

With over a hundred songs to her name in many different styles,
the songs on this album represent her best.

DAMIEN PRUD'HOMME TRIBAL JAZZ PROJECT starting 22:30

Damien Prud'homme is a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalistdamien_prud_homme_04
(saxophones, flute, clarinette...)

2007 "Reflections" for Cristal Records. He is now signed to WPR Jazz with
his third album called "Tribal Jazz Project" released in April 2009.
The raw sound of this album and the acoustic instruments is the symbol
of a return to the source... The totem spirit of a small tribe lives in its
primitive music, through which retains its essence, its breath of life:
music with power in its simplicity, one that touches directly
the core of your being.
The deep roots of Jazz originate in Africa.
It is this route that the 5 musicians of Tribal Jazz Project aim to explore...
a tapestry of percussion and drums weaved into the fabric of the group.
Damien Prud'homme invites you into his world through his compositions:
a delicate balance between melody and drum...

He is currently Artistic Director (and arranger) for the Mister Oz Big Band, cover_prud_homme_tribal_jazz_project_cover
the Glenn Swing Orchestra, and member of the Orchestra National du
Jazz Luxembourg. From 2003 to 2005 he was the instigator of the jam
sessions at the Trinitarian.
He has played alongside jazz greats such as Bob Mintzer, Randy Brecker,
Frank Agulhon, Erc Barret, Morgan Agren, Pierre Alain Goualch, Joe Fonda,
Frank Tortiller and Stéphane Guillaume, to name a few, performing in Jazz
in Berlin, the Arsenal in Metz, the Festival Musica in Strasbourg, the
Nancy Jazz Pulsations Festival, the Lionel Hampton Jazz Club, the Trier Festial,
the Festival of Nice, the Festival International of Jazz in Perm (Russia),
the Marly Jazz Festival and in the Philharmonie in Luxembourg.

His was awarded the Diploma of Excellence and the Gold Medal in Saxophone
from the Conservatory of Metz. He now teaches in the department of Jazz at
the Conservatoire of Metz, and is involved in master classes for their big band,
for improvisation and notably collaborates regularly with the ADDAM 57.

Waltzing-Parke RECORDS 5 YEARS CELEBRATION
presents:

DAVID LABORIER
starting 21:00
david_laborier_bio_2

David Laborier began playing guitar when he was 13.
He completed 4 years at the Conservatoire of Luxembourg and
then studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston with
Richie Hart graduating in 1999 with a Bachelor of Music.
He has performed as a sideman, and as the leader of his own trio
since the mid '90's, in Europe and the United States.
After returning to Europe he founded a trio and recorded an album
with them in 2002. They gigged regularly in Luxembourg, Belgium and
France performing original compositions by David, and jazz standards
in a rejuvenated 50's – 60's style.
David wrote an album that would create his own individual jazz style
setting him apart from the hundreds of excellent jazz guitarists on the scene.
“Tease”, cannot be pinned with any of the usual jazz labels. It is a highly
individual musical statement made up of fusion, cool and modern jazz. ye_ol_truckstop_cover_laborier_2
Some of the compositions are thoroughly arranged, some more improvised,
some are lyrical, some frenetic, some with loony motives.
It includes both acoustic and electric elements. There are samples,
strange effects and it is thoroughly enjoyable. It traces a highly personal path
through the thrilling universe of jazz. This album received extensive airplay.
Along with the new style came new musicians, amazingly all from Luxembourg:
Michel Mootz on drums, Boris Schmidt on bass and Marc Mangen on piano.
This new formation creates a new sound and a new direction for the lovely and
sometimes interestingly "out there" compositions of Laborier.

The new CD, titled “Ye Ole Truckstop”, comprises 10 new tunes,
that show the artists evolution in both, their concept and their compositions.
This album features a real group sound, that comes only from working and performing
together. Also included in this CD are compositions by the band members
Marc Mangen and Boris Schmidt.

LEANA SEALY starting 22:30Leana_Sealy_album_cover

Leana Sealy was born in Dublin, but has lived most of her life
