Ahhhh, Jesolo…

What do you get when a Swiss drummer meets an Italian bassist on the beach in Rio? You get a great gig at one of the finest clubs in Jesolo. Ivan Zucherato (Keys) Pius Baschnagel (Drums) and Paolo Andriolo (Bass) put down the perfect sound for Hedreich to get and keep the audience. The chic crowd clapped, snapped and sang along to the entertaining mix of originals, old school soul and top tens. When the last note had been sung one thing was for sure–this first will definitely have an encore–or two!

Out of Africa

Hedreich’s concert series with The Spirit of Gospel choir played in Zürich to full houses. The 70 singers did an amazing job under the direction of Beat Dähler. The evening began “in Africa” showing the bitter conditions of slavery’s beginnings as the rhythms and melodies were transported–captured and shackeled–across the Atlantic. West African music, field songs, early Spirituals, Gospels and even Soul displayed in all its’ glory, the indomitable spirit of a people who managed to thrive in spite of crushing adversity.

Next up on Hedreich’s agenda is a short stint with Polo Hofer. Check back by to get the details. We’ll leave a light on for ya…
