Swing in the Mountains Festival - Soul, Motown, Ray Charles by Freddie Hall and Jo Kaiat
Presentation
From August 9 to 16, Serre Chevalier will host the 23rd edition of the Swing in the Mountains Festival, in a friendly atmosphere.
A festival rich in programming and artistic diversity, highlighting swing, blues, gospel, soul, jazz, and polyphonic singing from around the world.
The festival will pay tribute to the great Jamaican artist Jimmy Cliff, who left us a musical legacy filled with love and peace.
The festival's patroness is Emily Johnson, discovered by John McLaughlin and produced by Narada Michael Walden, the legendary Oscar-winning producer known for his work with Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Mariah Carey.
Soul, Motown, Ray Charles - Freddie Hall - Vocals and guitar; Jo Kaiat - Piano:
Freddie Hall, an artist with over 40 years of experience, has achieved enormous success in the United States, his country of origin, as well as in various international countries.
The singer goes on several tours per year worldwide, in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Austria, and France.
In his career, he has performed with Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, The Three Degrees, and other singers, performing several genres such as jazz, blues, soul, and Motown music.
Jo Kaiat dedicates himself to music, a territory whose limits are only those that man is willing to impose on himself.
His sound odyssey begins with jazz but, very quickly, swing proves insufficient to express everything he possesses within himself.
He then turns to Bela Bartok, Olivier Messiaen, Stravinsky, and the Impressionists.
He spends his adolescence fiddling with chords in search of a mystery.
