Jazz Collection: Richard Bona (*28.10.1967), mit Wolfgang Zwiauer Dienstag, 31. Oktober 2017, 21.00 - 22.00 Uhr Samstag, 04. November 2017, 17.06 - 18.30 Uhr (Zweitsendung mit Bonustracks) Er kommt aus Kamerun, lebte in Paris und spielt jetzt von New York aus mit allen amerikanischen Grössen. Bassist Richard Bona ist der perfekte Sideman und trotzdem auch als Leader erfolgreich. Als Richard Bona mit gut 30 Jahren seine Debut-Platte herausgibt, ist er alles andere als ein Nobody: Eine Welt-Tournee mit dem österreichischen Rock-Jazz Urgestein Joe Zawinul und Aufnahmen mit der damals aufstrebenden jungen Jazz- und Fusion-Elite von Jacky Terrasson bis Regina Carter haben den jungen Bassisten aus Kamerun mitten in das Auge des Hurrikans hineinkatapultiert. Erstaunlich ist dann eher, wie eigenständig er sich präsentiert auf den "Scenes From My Life". Und es ist dieses blitzschnelle und vollständige Umschalten zwischen der Rolle des Sideman und der Rolle des Leaders, das den begnadeten Bassisten und Sänger Richard Bona bis heute zu den interessantesten Figuren der Jazz-, Fusion- und World-Szene macht. Der Schweizer Bassist Wolfgang Zwiauer ist ebenfalls enorm vielseitig unterwegs - er ist Gast in der Jazz Collection mit Jodok Hess.

Richard Bona
Richard Bona “Imagine an artist with Jaco Pastorious’s virtuosity, George Benson’s vocal fluidity, Joao Gilberto’s sense of song and harmony, all mixed up with African culture. Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you Richard Bona!” -Los Angeles Times BIO Fans call him “The African Sting,” critics call him a pro, but it’s his unique and electrifying style of connecting with his audience that titles him what he really is—a true musician. Richard Bona’s seemingly effortless voice, fierce skills on the bass, unique songwriting/arranging expertise and ability to learn just about any instrument simply from watching, position him as a rare African artist to have established an unscalable reputation on an international platform. Originally from Cameroon, Bona remains true to his roots, with African rhythms reflected in each of his seven albums; the first three, Scenes from My Life, Reverence and Munia display his unique approach to storytelling through sounds. Seeking inspiration from his origins, the themes of Bona’s albums address international issues which mirror his desire of using music to take a stance on issues affecting the oppressed. As an artist with a purpose, he expanded into new musical territories and teamed up with Congolese star, Lokua Kanza and Antillais singer/composer Gerald Toto to create the 2004 collective, Toto, Bona, Lokua on which Bona wrote four tracks. The trio then hit the road and toured across France; however, Bono remained in Europe to tour with guitarist Mike Stern and guest star on Japanese guitarist Kazumi Watanabe's album "Mo Bop 2." Shortly after, the pair embarked upon a tour of Japan, providing Bona with the opportunity to incorporate the culture and sounds of a new territory into his work.

Richard Bona & Mandekan Cubano Currículum I Discografia
RICHARD BONA & MANDEKAN CUBANO http://www.bonatology.com/ CURRÍCULUM I DISCOGRAFIA Des del seu debut en solitari el 1999, Richard Bona ha defensat la idea que la música és universal: generosa y accessible a tots. Va néixer el 1967 a Minta, un petit poble del Camerun, en una família don la seva mare i el seu avi eren cantants. En Richard va començar tocant el “balafón” quan tenia 4 anys i després ell mateix va aprendre a tocar la guitarra. Més tard, a la capital de Douala, el propietari d’un club de jazz, va tocar amb ell diversos temes del baixista Jaco Pastorius y i va ser aleshores quan Richard va decidir començar a aprendre a tocar el baix. El 1989 es va traslladar a viure a Alemanya i més tard a França, per complementar la seva educació en el baix. Durant aquest període d’aprenentatge, els 7 anys que va passar a París, es va convertir en una figura familiar en molts blubs de la capital francesa, on va compartir escenari amb artistes com Didier Lockwood, Marc Ducret, Manu Dibango i Salif Keita. Per en Richard fou un període molt formatiu on es va reunir amb artistes d’estils molt variats. El 1995 Richard se’n va anar a Nova York. Durant aquells temps, va visitar tots els clubs més famosos de la ciutat del Jazz i va actuar amb músics tan importants com Michael i Randy Brecker, Pat Metheny, Larry Coryell, Mike Stern, Steve Gadd, Joe Zawinul, i fins i tot amb el cantant Harry Belafonte. Richard Bona aviat es va fer amb la reputació de ser un dels millors baixistes dels seus temps, i també com un gran compositor i cantant.

Slavic Touch from the Heart of Europe but to Freely Draw on Each of Them, in the Hope of finding One of Her Own
Anna Maria Jopek - composer, arranger and singer with respectful, honorable carrier has sold one million records and collaborated with the most outstanding musicians - Pat Metheny, Bobbi Mc Ferrin, Ivan Lins, Youssou N'Dour, Makoto Ozone, Richard Bona and others. AMJ has been faithful to Polish musical tradition since her very first album and all along her solo career. As AMJ says: 'music itself has always been my prime concern. It is the great challenge to face the audience that does not understand Polish and does not know me at all. It's a lesson in humility, in sheer communication through sound. We can win, we can fail, but we have to be absolutely honest and pure when it comes to making music.' For seventeen years Anna Maria Jopek studied classical music. At the same time, at home was surrounded by traditional music, her parents being active in Poland's famous folk ensemble Mazowsze. However, AMJ decided to bestow her affection on jazz, with its wide-ranging scope, its openness to so many diverse influences, with the constant intimate dialogue between performing musicians that it entails. And finally it happened. Anna Maria Jopek Today AMJ chooses not to belong to any of these worlds, Slavic Touch from the Heart of Europe but to freely draw on each of them, in the hope of finding one of her own. ’Just thirty seconds of Anna’s tune belong to the most beautiful music I’ve heard in months’ ‘Anna is original, unique, different. She’s brace, she’s modest, she’s open. She’s a great musician.
