Ariane Racicot

Born: April 26, 1997

Ariane Racicot is a Montreal-based jazz pianist and composer who incorporates elements of classical, latin and metal music, creating her unique style. 

She first rose to prominence following the success of her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody on Youtube in 2013. The video has reached up over 18 million views to date.

Ariane began her training as a classical pianist at the age of 6, before switching to jazz ten years later. She then went on to study at Cégep St-Laurent, University of Montreal and McGill, where she trained with Lorraine Desmarais, Luc Beaugrand, John Roney and Jean-Michel Pilc. 

Germana Stella La Sorsa

Italian singer Germana Stella La Sorsa started performing in Italy at an early age, working her way up through the Italian jazz scene (ultimately performing at the side of jazz guitar giant Franco Cerri) and on moving to the UK in 2017, quickly established herself on the London jazz scene.

"Nudging boundaries as she goes” (The Slow Music Movement) and exploring “the crossroads of many musical components, including story, composition, genre and style as well as instrumentation and effect” (London Jazz News), La Sorsa released her debut album 'Vapour' in 2021 on 33 Jazz Records.

Lisa Rich

The release of Lisa Rich’s Long As You’re Living can be thought of as the comeback of the year. The singer’s first new recording since ill health forced her to stop performing in 1991, this rather remarkable album finds Lisa Rich not only in prime form but enthusiastically singing with adventure, daring, swing, and a deep understanding of the lyrics that she interprets.
