A Musical Journey Around the World
At a jam session at the Aarau Jazz Club, Athanas and Ackermann were captivated by the voice of singer Fiona Busse-Grawitz, and they decided to launch a joint project. The result of this joint venture is music reminiscent of Stacey Kent, Richard Galliano, and Christian McBride.
With double bass, accordion, and vocals, the three musicians take the audience on a journey around the world. From bossa nova to funk to reggae, this trio travels across different continents and spices up their pieces with jazzy improvisation. They perform original compositions as well as well-known songs that transport listeners to different parts of the world.
Jaco Ackermann (accordion), a talented accordionist, received top-level support from the canton of Aargau and is now a student at the Lucerne Jazz School; Fiona Busse-Grawitz (vocals) holds a master’s degree from the same institution; Stephan Athanas (double bass) was a lecturer at that same school as well as at the FHNW and performs throughout Switzerland and internationally with his music projects (ContempArabic Ensemble).
