After a year and 2 months of moving to Basel I can honestly say Switzerland really has some fine musicians gracing the music scene. Two of them are Beat Baumli http://www.alljazzpromotion.ch who plays guitar and Giorgios Antoniou http://www.alljazzpromotion.ch/AJP.BBTrio.html who plays bass. I am very fortunate to have the oppertunity to play with these guys. Together they are The Main Street Jazz Duo.

Beat is based in Baden and Giorgios in the capital, Bern. I am based in Basel but Switzerland is soooo small it'ss real easy to jump in the car or on the train and get together and play.

Check out the website  http://www.alljazzpromotion.ch/AJP.AG.html  for further info on these two simply  wonderful musicians.(How is your german? if it's as bad as mine you can look at the pictures )

I am so excited about this line-up. It's so unusual for me. Often I enjoy the traditiional jazz instruments of piano, bass and drums. Here we have a refreshing, light and airy sound of guitar and the fat bass sound underneath. I think my voice becomes all the more soft and velvety in this line-up. It's all so smooth and effort-less sounding. I really like it. What do you think?

The Main Street Jazz Duo are just one of three different line-ups or bands that I am increasingly performing with here in Switzerland. I must say that this sound is really one of my favorites. I think it's because it's sooo accoustic! sooo real! sooo LIVE! sooo COOL!!
