Midnight Train to Georgia.” “I Heard it Through the Grapevine.” “If I Were Your Woman.” With hit after hit, Gladys Knight is a national treasure, and she’s still singing strong. At this concert, the multi-GRAMMY® winner will share songs and stories from her incredible 50+ year career. Very few singers have matched the unassailable artistry of the Empress of Soul, from her early days with the Pips to her solo success. Take the Midnight Train to NJPAC and experience the radiant voice that means so much to so many.

Opening the show is singer and pianist Davell Crawford, the “Piano Prince of New Orleans.” The former church organist slides easily across modern and classic jazz, R&B, funk, blues, gospel, soul, pop and American folk. His soul-stirring performances are steeped in emotion and brimming with Louisiana flair.

Hey Now: Dr. John and Davell Crawford Perform “Joc-A-Mo”

- Live-in-studio clip culled from “Take Me to the River: New Orleans”

The magic of video gives us a final house call from Dr. John, who brings with him a number of many names.

Call it “Joc-A-Mo,” call it “Iko Iko” or call it something else, the song in question is characterized by its infectious, Hey now! calls and responses.

Opting for the former title, John - who died in 2019 - and Davell Crawford played a loose, keyboard-centric version in a sound studio that’s been culled from “Take Me to the River: New Orleans” for stand-alone release.

Playing acoustic and electric pianos, respectively, John and Crawford swap verses and take turns leading and following as their instruments are smooshed together in the small performance space.

The result is a fly-on-the-wall moment as the New Orleans legends play for themselves in a jam session for two, just for fun, that happened to be filmed for a movie - and posterity.

🔥Matthew Whitaker and Davell Crawford jam out🔥

When Matthew Whitaker and Davell Crawford happened upon each other at New Orleans Jazz Fest, it led to magic on the ivories.

Jazz musicians seamlessly jam

Jazz musician Matthew Whitaker has an amazing ability to listen to a piece of music just once and instantly know how to play it on piano. Dalia Sakas, a classically-trained concert pianist and Whitaker’s longtime teacher, calls the talent “insane” in a 60 Minutes profile that aired Sunday.Meet the blind piano player who’s so good, scientists are studying himRemembering 60 Minutes producer Katy TextorIn the video clip above, Whitaker puts some of that “insane” genius on display as he effortlessly plays with Davell Crawford at New Orleans Jazz Fest.

35. JazzAscona - Junge Löwen aus New Orleans, die Trompete als Roter Faden und die Hommage an Nat King Cole von Monty Alexander

Die 35. Ausgabe des JazzAscona vom 20. bis zum 29. Juni 2019 wird einmal mehr zum grossen Schaufenster des facettenreichen und hochkarätigen Musikschaffens der Metropole am Mississippi. Fans von Jazz, Soul, Funk und Blues aus ganz Europa werden wieder nach Ascona pilgern, um ihre «New Orleans Experience» im idyllischen Städtchen am Lago Maggiore zu machen.

Einige Highlights

Nach dem triumphalen Gastspiel vor vier Jahren werden die Auftritte des New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, das 2010 mit dem Grammy ausgezeichnet wurde, eine der grossen Attraktionen der 35. Ausgabe des Festivals sein. Die Gruppe gibt zwei exklusive Konzerte: am 28. Juni mit dem Programm «Congo Square – The History of New Orleans Music» und am 29. Juni mit einer Hommage an Allen Toussaint, einem Aushängeschild des Jazz und R&B von New Orleans. Gastmusiker der Formation ist der Pianist und Sänger Davell Crawford, einer der besten Bewahrer und Botschafter der Klaviertradition der Stadt am Mississippi-Delta.

Fünfzehn junge Musiker des New Orleans Jazz Orchestra werden während der gesamten 10 Tage in Ascona weilen und verschiedene Formationen und Kooperationen ins Leben rufen. Für Höhepunkte sorgen einige der bekanntesten Musiker der Nouvelle Vague in New Orleans, darunter Saxofonist Ricardo Pascal, Posaunist Michael Watson, Schlagzeuger und Dirigent Adonis Rose sowie die Trompeter Kid Chocolate Brown und Ashlin Parker.

Ascona ist dieses Jahr das Reich der Trompeter. Ashlin Parker bringt erneut sein in New Orleans so erfolgreiches Projekt Trumpet Mafia an die Ufer des Lago Maggiore. Die Idee ist, während des Festivals eine Trompetergemeinde zu bilden, Treffen unter den Musikern zu organisieren – ein Ort zum kennenlernen, gemeinsam musizieren, Erfahrungen austauschen und neue Kontakte schaffen. Es kommt weniger auf das Können jedes Einzelnen an, als auf die Freude am Spielen. Im Anschluss an diese Treffen – zu denen die Trompeter des Festivals genau so eingeladen sind wie leidenschaftliche Hobbytrompeter aus der Region – folgen einige öffentliche Überraschungsauftritte während der 10 Festivaltage.

Jt & the Kanection Band, die Sieger des Publikumspreises Aet My Choice 2018, ebenfalls aus New Orleans, und The Masakowski Family Trio werden vom 20.-25. Juni wieder dabei sein. Zudem zwei in Ascona wohlbekannte und beliebte Musiker: der Trompeter Leroy Jones mit einer europäischen Band unter der Leitung von Uli Wunner (21.-25 Juni) und in einem Quartett mit Dave Blenkhorn und der Pianist und legendäre Gründer der Funk-Gruppe The Meters, David Torkanowsky.

Einer der meist erwarteten Momente der 35. Auflage ist zweifellos das Konzert des amerikanischen Künstlers mit jamaikanischen Wurzeln Monty Alexander. Er ist einer der bedeutendsten Pianisten in der Geschichte des Jazz und tritt am 27. Juni mit einer Hommage an Nat King Cole auf. Zum 100. Jahrestag seiner Geburt wird Nat King Cole auch von anderen Gruppen geehrt, zum Beispiel vom frankoargentinischen Sänger und Pianisten Pablo Campos, einem Versprechen für die Jazzwelt.

Weitere Hommage-Konzerte sind dem legendären Bluesgitarristen T-Bone Walker (mit dem Projekt T-Bone Jumps again von Roberto Testini) gewidmet und den grossen amerikanischen Orchestern der 30er-Jahre, an deren Repertoire sich die Big Band von Paolo Tomelleri für ihre neue Vorstellung, am 22. Juni exklusiv in Ascona präsentiert, inspiriert.

Zahlreich, wie immer, sind auch die europäischen Formationen vertreten, angefangen bei der historischen, umjubelten Dutch Swing College Band (27.-28. Juni). Zudem dürfen wir uns auf eine ganze Reihe junger Künstler freuen. Erwähnen wollen wir den grossartigen, innovativen spanischen Jazz-Blues-Boogie-Pianisten Lluis Coloma und unter den Schweizern Martin Lechner, Raphael Jost, Sandro Schneebeli sowie den Akkordeonisten Danilo Boggini, der mit dem bekannten italienischen Trompeter Flavio Boltro auftreten wird.
