Lil Snowflake is an ordinary girl born in Switzerland in fall 2005. She is mixed; half Chinese and half Swiss. She speaks fluent Chinese, Swiss German and also English which she mostly taught herself cause she has always loved that language. She started singing when she was a little girl. She has always loved singing and has also taken lessons to improve her voice. In her free time she's always listening to music. Music has already helped her a lot during dark times. She listens to various musical styles but her top genres are K-Pop, Pop and C-Pop. It is her dream to become a good singer.

Guitarist Werner Tian Fischer and singer Dave Beglinger worked together regularly between 2003 and 2008 to their audience's great pleasure and satisfaction. Their repertoire ranged from classical jazz songs of the Great American Songbook to charming Sambas and Bossas of the Musica Popular Brasileira and soulful tunes penned by Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder or Sting. They interpreted their music with the nonchalance of jazz - yet always with a modern and sensual attitude. The selections from this recently rediscovered studio session were recorded in October 2005.

Werner Fischer's (g) and Fridolin Berger's (b) long-awaited duo debut album with PBR Records Ltd. Fishberger's Fancy features accomplished saxophonist Denise Steinegger on three selections. The production boasts a unique, transparent sound which has no safety net underneath and thus manages to speak to the listener in an unusually direct and pure way. What is more, it effortlessly accommodates such different idioms as swing, funk, pop and classically inspired guitar music on one and the same CD. This astonishing effect is ensured by Werner Fischer’s consistently superb playing on both acoustic and electric guitar and by Fridolin Berger’s sonorous and swinging double bass throughout.

Following their instrumental debut (Eastbound, 2003) and two studio productions with singers Sophie Dunér (Chinese Soul, 2011) and Coco Rouzier (The Light Is On, 2016), Werner Fischer and his band Travelogue present their new album Foreclosure, a passionate instrumental live recording. In addition to Fischer's driving jazz compositions, the recording shows the lyrical sides of the band as well as a certain affinity for free improvisation.

"It was in late 2010 when I played my first jazz gig at Beijing’s legendary CD Blues Café. It featured Coco Rouzier, the gutsy and soulful songstress from Washington D.C. who had travelled half of the world singing in five star hotels and on cruises. She not only proved to be a first rate jazz singer but also a resourceful entertainer who turned the joint into a boiling pot on that blessed Sunday evening. What started out as a nonchalant classy jazz gig turned into a rambunctious party that lasted until the wee hours of the next morning. Coco probably knew what she was in for when in the middle of her second set she called on the band to play Hernandez’ Hideaway, a tango. She had probably heard of the Finnish affinity for that dance - as the joint was packed with the remainder of a choir from Turku who fully lived up to its reputation. It was not before long that everybody was served severe shots of Vodka that had lasting effects on the band as well as the crowd - but I knew then that someday we would record an album together." (Werner Fischer)

The documentary film portrait NO FLASH. Homage to Ricardo Rangel (1924–2009) directed by exhibition curator Bruno Z'Graggen with camera work by video film-maker Angelo Sansone (both from Zurich) is a tribute to the life work of Ricardo Rangel.The film shows sequences from 2003 with Ricardo Rangel at the time of the opening of the exhibition Iluminando Vidas. The scenes from 2003 are interwoven with longer interview passages from the year 2011 with Alexandre Pomar (*1947, Lisbon) and photographer Sérgio Santimano (*1956, Lourenço Marques / Maputo). Pomar is a respected Portuguese art critic and journalist who lives in Lisbon.The result is a film portrait that gives an insight into the life and work of an outstanding photographer and a charismatic personality, a man with a passion for photography and jazz, full of life, humorous, independent and incorruptible, hugely productive and with a sensitive eye for people in difficult contexts. The documentary's music was composed, arranged and performed by Werner Fischer and his Boston jazz unit.

"The guy’s already half Chinese: for when she was standing before him like an armed angel in the hallway, he didn’t even blink once. Though she had been haunting his dreams since the day he had laid eyes on her on that worn sofa in a seedy country shrink’s practice way back in the seventies, all he did was push aside the thought of kissing her good and hard on the mouth in a vain attempt to force open those sealed lips, maybe getting at her petrified soul and detonate inside her labyrinthine lotus garden. No, not him..." (Jan Krohn)

The SAM TRÜMPY MEMORIAL JAZZ COALITION is a transatlantic jazz group dedicated to the musical legacy of the late composer and tenorist Sam Trümpy and consists of eight experienced jazz musicians from Switzerland, the U.S.A and Canada.
Sam Trümpy was a Swiss music pioneer from the 1960s until his untimely passing in 2003. His inheritance includes a collection of great original jazz compositions. In 2007 guitarist Werner Tian Fischer initiated a tribute band, the «Sam Trümpy Memorial Jazz Coalition». Eight jazz musicians with Swiss roots contributed their individual arrangements to Trümpy’s compositions.
The band did a successful concert tour of Switzerland in August/September 2007. The last concert of that tour was recorded by sound engineer Patrik Schwitter who is also famous for his recording of the very last performance of Sun Ra and His Arkestra.

Werner Fischer's and Michael Giger's repertoire ranges from classical jazz songs of the Great American Songbook to popular movie themes and contemporary Americana. They interpret their music with the nonchalance of jazz - yet always with a modern and sensual attitude. All Standard Guitars combine the stupendous virtuosity of the younger with the well-seasoned swing of the older player. Their first CD was released on Altrisuoni Records - The Swiss Jazz Label.

EP Phamusrec 19071

Die Bouncing Bits haben eine erstaunliche Wirkung: Jeder, der sie gehört hat, ertappt sich noch nach Tagen dabei, wie er leise mit den Fingern schnippt, den Füssen wippt und verzückt lächelt. Diese Band swingt alles schwerelos, schliesslich besitzt sie die Happyness eines Nat King Cole, den Groove einer Oscar-Peterson-Combo und die Präzision einer Basie-Band.
Das Credo der Bouncing Bits lautet 'Joy and Class': Sie vereinen hinreissenden Swing mit hoher musikalischer Qualität, sprechen also sowohl jene an, die es lieben, beschwingt mitzuwippen, als auch die, denen originelle Arrangements und virtuose Soli zusagen.
Swing is here!
