After the applauses received during last year's edition, charismatic singer and bassist Roy Bennett is back! This year the New York artist will be accompanied by J.A.B. or Just Another Band, a well-established band that, in its past performances at JazzAscona, has been among the most appreciated by the audience.
Their repertoire revisits all African-American music, from funk to soul and R&B. The band, which has been active on the American scene for more than twenty years, will also include young saxophonist Ezra Brown, who was particularly acclaimed during last year's festival alongside Roy Bennett and Gordon Edwards.
The surprising alchemy between the band's members and their ability to transform the streets of Ascona into open air dancing floors have made J.A.B. a must-see for everyone.
Saxophonist Ezra Brown is the artist on the official 2011 JazzAscona poster.
