Andreas Falentin hat für "Die Deutsche Bühne" ein paar Zeilen über unseren utopischen Abend geschrieben:

16.11.16

I woke up after our concert yesterday and everything feels slightly different, as if a new color had been added to the world... I´m feeling "YInMn blue" today!

Thanks to Thomas Fiedler and Jan Dvorak (Kommando Himmelfahrt), Jan Röttger, Lucia Lucas, Thomas Braus, Partita Radicale, the Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra with Johannes Pell, the Wuppertal Opera Chorus!

This was magic!

13.11.2016

On tuesday I´m going to sing with some of my favourite colleagues and the Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra as a part of the "Sound of the City" project! It is the first time I´m going to sing with an orchestra - something I´ve been wanting to do all my life. Thomas Fiedler (Kommando Himmelfahrt), a creative animal from Berlin, has gathered 200 musicians to join his "BUND DER UTOPISTEN" (union of utopists) and I´m very excited to be a part of this!

3.11.16

I´m so thankful that music is taking me to places like this and that my boys are always by my side! 10 years of travelling together...

20.10.16

I´m writing music for a fantastic new movie. It is a very inspiring work... In the middle of the rush of Berlin I´ve found a hide away. The sun in shining through my window and is warming my back while I write!

Life is good today!

Great news!!!

Two of my songs will be in the movie " Kids in Love" starring Will Poulter, Alma Jodorowsky, Sebastian de Souza, Preston Thompson, Cara Delevingne, Gala Gordon!

"Set against the backdrop of an underground, bohemian London, Kids In Love offers a new take on the traditional coming of age story. Drifting through his gap year with internships and travel plans, Jack (Will Poulter) has always suspected there was more to life than this. A chance encounter with the beautiful and ethereal Evelyn (Alma Jodorowsky) and her friends, including free spirited Viola (Cara Delevingne), swerves his life radically off course. She is like no one he's ever met before, and he quickly becomes caught up in a whirlwind of all-day parties and wild nights in London's hidden dives with her charismatic friends. Giving up everything to follow Evelyn and her hedonistic lifestyle, it takes Jack a while to realise what he's leaving behind, that love isn't a game you want to lose and that these people might not be the kindred spirits he first thought."  (SOURCE: IMDb)

Ein paar Worte über unser Konzert auf Burg Lüttinghof von Stefan Pieper (nrwjazz.net)

"Keine Unbekannten auf der Wasserburg Lüttinghof sind die zehn Mitstreiter vom „Club des Beluga“. In Wuppertal gegründet, lebt hier eine Art beständiges Kollektiv, in dem sich viele profunde Musiker unserer Region vereinen, etwa Trompeter Lars Kuklinski, der omnipräsente Pianist und Keyboarder Roman Babik oder der Drummer Mickey Neher. Sie alle konstituieren hier eine Formation, in der ständig ganz viel Bandchemie auf dem Siedepunkt reagiert, wo aber auch ganz viele unerschöpfliche solistisch-improvisatorische Geschichten erzählt werden. Und dieser illustre, hemmungslos spielbesessene Club setzte bei dieser Festivalausgabe in punkto mitreißender Partystimmung nochmal locker eins drauf gegenüber dem Vorjahres-Auftritt: Rock und Funk ließen die Luft brennen, breitwandige Swing-Einwürfe, Ennio-Morricone-Gitarrenschmelz, Soul, Gospel, aber auch die unmittelbar an die Beine appellierenden Triphop- und Nujazz-Beats machten das Feuerwerk über zwei mitreißende Stunden perfekt, ließen es in den Stuhlreihen immer leerer und im Raum vor der Bühne schon nach kurzer Zeit brechend voll werden. Abwechslung bietet der Club des Belugas bekanntlich in der Präsentation seiner Sängerinnen. Eine überaus gute, ja charismatische Figur machte Anna Luca bzw anna.luca, die wirklich eine große, sinnliche, soulig deepe Stimme ihr eigen nennt - und hier ihre ganz eigenen, sehr persönlichen Songs in Szene setzte. Dann – kurios genug – erfolgte eine Ablösung am Gesangsmikro. Dann nämlich übernahm die gebürtige Kalifornierin und heute in Wuppertal lebende Blues-Sängerin Brenda Boykin das Regiment – und wie! Sie legte alle Hemmungen ab, bejahte das Unanständige, da ja Samstagabend ist, gab Zoten und Geschichten zum besten – und ihr tiefschwarzes, raues kehliges, mit dem ganzen Bluesschlamm des Missisippi Deltas getränktes Gesangstimbre war sowieso eine Macht für sich.

Alles in allem: ein Neustart nach der Sommerpause voller Leichtigkeit!" nrwjazz.net

Tonight with Club des Belugas:

2. OPEN-AIR JAZZ-NACHT auf die Burg Lüttinghof.

"Schon im letzten Jahr brachten der "Club des Belugas" zum fortgeschrittenen Abend die Fun-Jazz-Gemeinde auf Lüttinghof_Die Burg im Wasser in Wallungen. CdB ist eine der weltweit führenden Nujazz Bands. Der Musik ihres Nujazz Styles mit Brazilian Beats, Swing und American Soul kann sich niemand entziehen und ist an Intensität und Energie kaum zu überbieten ist." nrwjazz.net

"anna.luca et monsieur batterie" learned a lot at the Science Slam in Dormund last week!

Thank you all!
