- Kandace Springs Porgy & Bess, Vienna Monday 29 April
- Shuteen Erdenebaatar Quartet + Lightville Unterfahrt, Munich Tuesday 30 Apr
Rising Sun proved quite a revelation last year - pianist Shuteen Erdenebaatar, a musician hailing from Mongolia where she studied in Ulaanbaatar later championed by the Goethe Institute and excelling academically in Munich where she is based, joined on the album by soprano saxophonist Anton Mangold who also played flute on the record and by bassist Nils Kugelmann and drummer Valentin Renner. Tunes are strong, often quite bittersweet and poignant in nature, with hints of folklore from her homeland as on the flute line on 'An Answer From The Distant Hill'. Gentle and thoughtful it's all highly distinctive and speaks to the heart. Sold out.
