Midnight Sun

Lady Linn & her Magnificent Seven present: MIDNIGHT SUN. Besides a natural phenomenon, also a jazz classic by Stan Kenton which can also be heard on the new jazz record of the same name by Lady Linn & Her Magnificent Seven. The tour 'MIDNIGHT SUN' is an ode to dark and light, the duality of life, and above all a hymn to the night. The repertoire consists of timeless jazz, rock, pop, house, gospel, and country songs with "the night" as a common denominator, each one played and arranged with room for improvisation and dialogue. Round Midnight, The Middle of the night, one of the many jazz classics by Nina Simone, A night to remember by Shalamar, After Midnight by JJ Cale, One of these nights by The Eagles, The night the lights went out in Georgia van Vicky Lawrence of Night Air by Jamie Woon – all these songs come together in a varied set that is musically woven into one whole. They all embody the endless possibilities of the night, from the boisterous bustling nightlife and budding loves to murder ballads and melancholy. Her grandfather gave Lady Linn the love for jazz from an early age. Later she studied jazz vocals at the Conservatory and founded the Magnificent Seven. She immersed herself in swing jazz for years and thus got to know an extensive jazz repertoire, including Round Midnight, one of the first jazz standards she sang and which now also has a place on the new album. Midnight Sun she got to know through pianist François Glorieux; they recorded it together and the song never let her go after that. Jazz is not only a great love of Lady Linn, but also her Magnificent Seven feel completely at home with this tour. The songs are approached with a new freshness and different angle every time, which means no two concerts will ever be exactly the same. The permanent band members are also all thoroughbred jazz musicians: Piano: Bart Van Caenegem (Frivole Framboos) Bass: Filip Vandebril (Black Flower, The Valerie Solanas, Antwerp Gipsy Ska Orchestra, The Whodads) Drum: Simon Segers (De Beren Gieren, Black Flower, Sylvie Kreusch) Trumpet: Yves Fernandez (Monsieur Fernand) Trombone: Frederik Heirman (Brussels Jazz Orchestra) Baritone sax: Marc De Maeseneer (Back Back, Karen Willems, The Whodads)
