Trumpet Summit with Warren Vaché, Charlie Miller and Bob barnard playing at the New Orleans & Classics Jazz Festival of Ascona, Ticino, Switzerland New York-based trumpeter Warren Vaché - the perfect incarnation of the artist-gentleman and world traveler - returns to JazzAscona with his band to offer the festival public, after a year's absence, his incomparable style, modeled by absorbing the lessons of the artists who most influenced him: Louis Armstrong above all, but also Clifford Brown and his teacher "Pee Wee" Erwin. A sound made up of warm and engaging sonorities; a super-fine technique, and an innate natural charisma are the main qualities of Warren Vaché, spiced up with an outstanding sense of humour that makes every one of his live shows something unique and unpredictable. A musician gifted with a great artistic sensibility, Vaché has in his career played with great musicians such as Benny Goodman and Gerry Mulligan, and is very much in demand at major jazz festivals in Europe and the U.S. He returns to Ascona with a band that includes his brother Allan Vaché, virtuoso clarinetist; Tardo Hammer on piano, Leroy Williams on drums and lastly, the gifted Australian bassist Nicky Parrott. Trumpeter Bob Barnard, is without any doubts one of the best-known jazz players on the Australian scene. Barnard, grown up musically in Sidney, has established himself as a great player of classic jazz repertoire, from Louis Armstrong to Count Basie, from Sinatra to Nat "King" Cole. In recent decades he has livened the Australian jazz scene playing and leading a variety of groups. Barnard, considered one of the finest cornetists in the world, is also the organizer of Bob Barnard's annual Jazz Party in Melbourne, featuring trad jazz. www.jazzascona.com www.lightronixprod.com
