About the album

Mike del Ferro: "Hereby I proudly present the fifth album in the series Songs inspired by wandering the Globe, based on my world-wide travels, featuring the phenomenal Belgian/French vocalist David Linx. I have known (and admired) David for many years and we have a lot in common: traveling the globe, a broad interest in many music styles, collaborations with many different cultures and speaking many different languages. Therefore it was almost inevitable to record this album! On this album, David sings in five different languages: Dutch, English, French, German and Portuguese. Songs and impressions from all over the world…."
Mike del Ferro: „Hiermit präsentiere ich stolz das fünfte Album in der Serie Songs inspired by wandering the Globe, das auf meinen Reisen durch alle Welt basiert – hier zusammen mit dem phänomenalen belgisch-französischen Vokalisten David Linx. Ich kenne (und bewundere) David seit vielen Jahren und wir sind uns in Vielem ähnlich: wir reisen um die Welt, interessieren uns für viele verschiedene Musikstile, arbeiten mit vielen verschiedenen Kulturen zusammen und wir beide sprechen viele Fremdsprachen. Da war es beinahe unvermeidlich, dieses Album aufzunehmen! David singt darauf in fünf verschiedenen Sprachen: Niederländisch, Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch und Portugiesisch. Lieder und Eindrücke aus aller Welt...“

David Linx (vocals)

David Linx (Brussels, 1965) knew how to play music before he learned the alfabet. He played drums, flute and piano and after getting to know the songs of Ella Fitzgerald, he decided to become a singer. Before he is 10 years old he appears as a self-taught singer on the jazz scene to stay there. He played with Horace Parlan, Toots Thielemans, Harry 'Sweets' Edison, Slide Hampton, Richard Gaillano, Steve Coleman, Victor Lazlo, Nathan Davis, and many more. As a composer-songwriter he got as far as the Count Basie Orchestra. In 1996 David was nominated for the Django d'Or in France for the category best jazz singer, together with Abbey LINCOLN and Cassandra WILSON. His first nomination in a long...

Mike del Ferro (piano)

Dutch pianist Mike del Ferro is a highly sought-after composer, pianist and arranger who writes and performs in an impressive array of musical genres. He has travelled the world extensively (more then 90 countries), searching for collaborations with musicians from cultures quite different to his own, and the musical results have been eye-opening, building musical bridges between cultures not normally within reach of each other. He has managed to combine elements of the revered canons of Western music interspersed with the audacity of jazz improvisation, and paying tribute to the ancient structures of Asian, South American and African traditional music. He has recently signed a contract with Challenge records for a series of  10 CD's, collaborations with musicians from all over...

He has managed to combine elements of the revered canons of Western music interspersed with the audacity of jazz improvisation, and paying tribute to the ancient structures of Asian, South American and African traditional music. He has recently signed a contract with Challenge records for a series of 10 CD's, collaborations with musicians from all over the world, based on his travels.The first trio CD will be released worldwide in the fall of 2011, and the second production in the spring of 2012, with guest artists from Brazil. Mike's father was opera singer Leonard del Ferro (1921-1992), who sang and recorded with Maria Callas, and his childhood was thus filled with music of the highest order.A native of Amsterdam, he started his career studying classical piano at the age of nine and, after falling in love with jazz, he focused his studies on jazz and received a Masters of Music in Contemporary Music from the Amsterdam Conservatory. In 1989 he won First Prize at the Rotterdam Jazz Piano Competition, the Soloist Prize at the Europe Jazz Contest in Brussels, and First Prize at the Karlovy Vary Jazz contest and from 1993-1996 studied composition and arranging with Bob Brookmeyer at the Musikhochschule in Cologne, Germany. In 1995 Mike was appointed to the faculty of the Royal Conservatory in Gent, Belgium where he taught jazz piano until 1997. His reputation as a soloist, accompanist, composer and arranger has led to worldwide performances, recordings and tours with musicians such as Toots Thielemans, Jack DeJohnette, Oscar Castro Neves, Deborah Brown, Erik Truffaz, Jorge Rossy, Sibongile Khumalo, Carl Allen, Scott Hamilton, Richard Galliano, Thijs van Leer (Focus), Harold Land, Jan Akkerman, Norma Winstone, Benny Bailey, Candy Dulfer, Trijntje Oosterhuis, Badi Assad, Fernanda Porto, Madou Diabate and Maria Pia deVito. He has also recorded dozens of albums in many different genres from Dixieland to Salsa and has arranged music for animation for Danish animator and Oscar winner, Börge Ring. Mike del Ferro goes by Mark Twain's dictum - "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime" - and his music reflects the array of influences that he has picked up in some of the most exotic places in the world.
