Marcel Powell/David Linx

HORIZON - Marcel Powell wields the six-string with virtuosity. This new album, ‘Horizon’, is a musical portrait of the guitarist's universe, drawing on his roots in Brazilian music, jazz and classical music, while showing just how much the musical legacy of his father, Baden Powell, is still alive and kicking. The repertoire and performance plunge the listener into the world of jazz improvisation and Brazilian music, with the guitarist's signature style instantly recognisable from the first chord. Singer David Linx is the guest on this new opus. When voice and guitar support and speak to each other, magic happens.

MARCEL POWELL - Marcel Powell has his own accent. It's impossible not to associate his music with that of his master and father, who left his mark on the history of the guitar. His father's only pupil for 10 years, the virtuoso son follows in his father's footsteps and delights audiences. Born in Paris in 1982, he has recorded twelve albums as a composer, including two with his father and his brother, the French-based pianist Philippe Powell. Now based in Rio de Janeiro, Marcel Powell is an extension of the musical expression of the Brazilian soul, claiming its Iberian, black and European ancestry.

DAVID LINX - A native of Brussels but a Parisian by adoption, David Linx trained with the great American musicians and is, if not the greatest, at least one of the most formidable jazz singers you'll ever hear, as well as a performer with a big heart. David Linx recently received the Octave d'Honneur prize in Belgium for his entire career, the Edison Prize for the best album of 2017 (‘Brel’ with the Brussels Jazz Orchestra) and has won numerous awards in France: Prix Charles Cros, Prix de l'Académie du Jazz, Victoires du Jazz.
