FESTIVAL IN
artists from A to Z (in alphabetical order)
Ablaye Cissoko & Volker Goetze
(SN)
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
TEMPLE
BAMAKO – NEW YORK
Saturday 11 April | 21h00 | CHF 37.- | Seated concert
Ablaye Cissoko (kora – vocals)
Volker Goetze (trumpet)
This is an unusual encounter - between a great master of the kora, a world-renowned
Malian griot, and a trumpeter from Germany, with an attachment to New York and a
keen interest in American modernity. Their encounter initially led to the album Sira in
2009, a milestone in a jazz which establishes an intercontinental dialogue. The
exploration continues and strengthens: the two have just released a third album, Djaliya,
recorded, as for the first two, in a church. Therefore, it seemed only natural that this duo
would stop at the Temple to share its journey with us.
Ana Moura
(PT)
<><><><><><><
CHAPITEAU
COLORES
Saturday 11 April | 20h30 | CHF 53.- | Seated concert
Ana Moura (vocals)
Ângelo Freire (Portuguese guitare)
Pedro Soares (guitar)
André Moreira (bass)
João Gomes (keyboard)
Mário Costa (drums/percussions)
Rebel daughter of Fado, Ana Moura embodies the contemporary spirit of this ancestral
genre, representing it on the international scene. The spellbinding singer innovates by
elegantly flirting with pop and other Anglophone influences, bringing a new breath of
modernity to Fado. Her deep and melancholic voice is used to brilliantly deconstruct a
genre in which reside emotional intensity, profound sensuality and sumptuously plaintive
tunes tinged with cosmopolitan musical references. Occasionally relinquishing her native
tongue for an exotic sounding English, Ana Moura offers an urban interpretation of the
genre. A charmingly disorienting experience.
33rd Edition
10-18 April 2015
Anouar Brahem « Souvenance »
(TN)
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
CHAPITEAU
L’EVENEMENT
Mardi 14 avril | 20h30 | CHF 53.- | Seated concert
Anouar Brahem (oud)
François Couturier (piano)
Klaus Gesing (clarinet)
Björn Meyer (bass)
Strings Of Birds (quartet and string ensemble)
After nine albums acclaimed by the public and critics alike, Anouar Brahem returns with a
new and exceptional project, « Souvenance ». After a world premiere last summer with
the Tallin Chamber Orchestra in front of 8'000 people in the Roman Amphitheatre of
Carthage, the great Tunisian oud master will present the Swiss premiere of his project in
Cully alongside the Bernese string orchestra Strings Of Birds and his quartet formed by
clarinettist Klaus Gesing, pianist François Couturier and Swiss bass player Björn Meyer.
Equally traditional and subversive, he creates an oneiric and skilfully composite universe
which takes as much from jazz and European classical music as it does from oriental and
Mediterranean traditions. Rooted in ancestral and contemporary cultures, he deploys
powerful melodies in a climate of contemplation and intense concentration.
Big Daddy Wilson
(US)
<><><><><><><><><><><
NEXT STEP
BIG BLUES
Saturday 18 April | 19h30 | CHF 39.- | Seated concert
Big Daddy Wilson (vocals, guitar)
Roberto Morbioli (guitar)
Paolo Legramandi (bass)
Nik Taccori (drums)
Born in Eastern Mississipi, Big Daddy Wilson didn't see a real blues concert before
walking in to a club in Bremsen as an adult. This revelation drove the expatriate to throw
himself body and soul into music. Twenty years and a couple of studio albums later,
Thumb a Ride confirmed him one of the greatest contemporary bluesmen. It's his latest
album though, I'm your man, which brought him international success. Always respectful
of the blues roots he inherited, the charismatic singer adds soul, funk and gospel to his
musical range, memories of his American youth. His baritone voice, of a rare emotional
power, recounts the nostalgic stories of his native land.
33rd Edition
10-18 April 2015
BOUNCE

<><><><><>
CHAPITEAU
ALL THAT JAZZ
Saturday 18 April | 20h30 | CHF 53.- | Seated concert
Jonathan Maag (saxophone)
Julian Hesse (trumpet, bugle)
Andrey A. Tatarinets (bass)
Domi Chansorn (drums)
Explosive new phenomenon of European jazz, BOUNCE's wild and innovative music
intrigues. Zurich Jazz Prize laureates in 2013 - one of the most important awards of the
scene - the four Bernese musicians free themselves from the constraints of jazz by
creating an expanded framework in which a spirit of collective improvisation cohabits
with sophisticated composing. The absence of harmonic instruments gives a particular
sonority to their music where dissonances are laid bare and melodies intertwine and
fight. The result is an eclectic but controlled chaos, blend of jazz, pop and drum'n'bass
where unheard sonorities and a strongly personal artistic direction are revealed.
Brad Mehldau trio
(US)
<><><><><><><><><><><>
CHAPITEAU
JAZZ DE HAUT VOL
Monday 13 April | 20h30 | CHF 58.- | Seated concert
Brad Mehldau (piano)
Larry Grenadier (bass)
Jeff Ballard (drums)
Active since the 90's, Brad Mehldau is one of the most influential musicians of his
generation. Considering himself both an improviser and a formalist, the outstanding
pianist likes to overlap the extremes, helping him find a delicate balance between
complexity and simplicity, density and purity, virtuosity and sensitivity. His elegant and
expressive style gives his work a remarkable fragility and makes him one of the most
captivating musicians of the last twenty years. He will be performing as a trio under the
Cully Jazz Chapiteau, alongside exceptional bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff
Ballard.
33rd Edition
10-18 April 2015
Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld
(US / CA)
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
TEMPLE
INDIE CLASSICAL
Monday 13 April | 21h00 | CHF 37.- | Seated concert
Colin Stetson (saxophones)
Sarah Neufeld (violin)
This is a new experience for the Temple in Cully: the saxophonist Colin Stetson and the
violinist Sarah Neufeld are used to huge electrified stages and ecstatic atmospheres as
they move in the same universe as the excellent Canadian independent rock band Arcade
Fire. Here, they meet for a surprising tête-à-tête where the music is shaped in hypnotic
and heady loops. The structures evolve in a high-flown dialogue until the musicians reach
a trance-like state induced by the circular breathing of the saxophonist and the violinist’s
bow strokes. Do not miss this unique experiment.
Dan Tepfer solo - Goldberg Variations
(FR / US)
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
TEMPLE
JAZZ MEETS BACH
Wednesday 15 April | 21h00 | CHF 37.- | Seated concert
Dan Tepfer (piano)
“Brilliant”, “breathtaking”, “exceptional”: the talent of this young American pianist born in
Paris, Dan Tepfer, impresses both jazz and classical critics. Winning awards on several
occasions in the greatest international competitions, he is at ease playing solo as well as
with a symphony orchestra. In 2011, he decides to tackle a great master by playing his
visions of J-S. Bach’s anthological Goldberg Variations. A contemporary commentary on a
worshipped masterpiece, this project confirms the durability and continuity of this
extraordinary artist’s musical expression.

Saturday 18 april | 20h30 | CHF 53.- | Seated concert
Daniel Humair (drums)
Vincent Peirani (accordion)
Emile Parisien (saxophone soprano)
Bruno Chevillon (double bass)
Legendary swiss drummer Daniel Humair has brought together three incredible
musicians, amongst the very best of the contemporary French jazz scene in the Sweet &
sour quartet. With a knack for surrounding himself with talented artists, he collaborates
here with Vincent Peirani, accordion wizard, and Emile Parisien, soprano saxophone
virtuoso, who hypnotised the Cully audience last year. While the two play at intertwining
brightly sober melodic ideas, bass player Jerome Regard gives them creative support
devoid of superficiality and in harmony with the colourful drumming of David Humair. An
intense and freshly invigorating quartet.

DELICATESSE BRESILIENNE
Thursday 16 April | 19h30 | CHF 37.- | Seated concert
Dominique Pinto (double bass)
Ruben Jacobina (guitar, bass)
In 2012, Dom la Nena made the walls of the Temple de Cully vibrate when she was the
supporting act at Piers Faccini's concert. This lunar artist with a dreamy voice takes us to
a nostalgic world where her Brazilian influences merge with elegant folk, chamber music
and the lullabies of her childhood. Her second album, Soyo, is a web of miniature songs
with unusual arrangements, both light and deep. Like a baby-faced sage, she paints on
stage an intimate and poetic musical universe with a thousand and one faces.

Friday 17 April | 21h00 | CHF 37.- | Seated concert
Dorian Wood (piano)
Watch out, a phenomenon. This singer from Los Angeles will not leave us indifferent.
Gravitating in the spheres of contemporary art, always reinterpreting his own music
depending on the occasion and his inspiration, Dorian Wood has become a major figure
of the American underground scene. His European appearances are rare. Alone in front of
the piano, his incredible voice filled with a rare emotion will resound as he interprets his
repertoire, between exalted gospel and haunted folk. Not to be missed.

Bertrand Luzignant (trombone)
James Copley (vocals)
Electro Deluxe, a surprising cocktail of hybrid jazz and funk, takes us into the new
musical spheres of the French scene. Amazingly retro, this quintet invokes funk and soul
divinities with the help of seventies synthesisers, sophisticated brass and a devastatingly
charming American crooner. With its timeless repertoire, the band transcends limits of
genres and epochs, performing vintage yet modern music, as current as the eclectic
collaborations of the different band members: C2C, Hocus Pocus, Gaël Faye… Listen, live
and dance to Electro Deluxe's chic and upbeat music.

TEMPLE
ONE WOMAN ONE VOICE
Sunday 12 April | 16h00 | CHF 37.- | Seated concert
Elina Duni (vocals, acoustic guitar)
She is one of the Festival’s faithful friends who no longer needs an introduction.
Nonetheless, this incredible singer continues to surprise and amaze us. Elina Duni has
made a name for herself with her quartet, and their perfect understanding and subtle
balance led to her magnificent album signed on ECM, Matanë Malit. This year, however,
she will take possession of the Temple alone, accompanied simply by a few notes of
guitar, percussion or piano - intimate surroundings for her to sing her vision of Albania,
and recount her human and artistic journey.

DANCING VIOLIN
Saturday 11 April | 22h30 | Free concert | Standing concert
Tobias Preisig (violin, synth bass)
Alessandro Giannelli (drums, effects)
An unusual name for an unusual duo, Egopusher brings together Tobias Preisig's
aggressive and poetic violin and Alessandro Giannelli's subtle beats in an explosion of
freedom and spontaneity. Synthesisers complete the two musicians' kit, adding to their
array of wacky sound effects. While Tobias Preisig reinvents his instrument by means of
furious riffs and intoxicating tunes, Alessandro Giannelli develops a powerful, flowing
style. Their music is intense and electrifying, but hints at a fascinating underlying
vulnerability.

Insular delicacy of the Swiss scene, Erika Stucky makes her natural habitat out of an
experimental concoction of rugged punk, vintage rock, cabaret and nostalgic yodel mixed
with her love of Tom Waits and her hippie youth. She will share her taste for burlesque
and her unusual eclecticism for the fifth time in Cully with da Blechhauf'n, an Austrian
brass septet who combine delicate virtuosity and crazy fantasy. Their new show, Wally
und die Sieben Geier promises to be a spectacular mix of jazz, pop and blues
interspersed with strange alpine legends. Volcanic, playful, sharp, psychedelic, Erica
Stucky and da Blechhauf'n will give an unpredictable show!

the wing of Imany, Faada Freddy has brought out Gospel Journey, an entirely a capella
album supported by African body percussions. This captivating singer explores the
possibilities of the human voice and produces an album both sincere and organic. Full of
soul, R'n'B, gospel and ragga muffin influences, this incredible vocalist, true hit of 2015,
invites us into an eclectic musical universe, a mix of Gregroy Porter, Salif Keita, Aretha
Franklin and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. On stage with his vocal ensemble, Faada Freddy

FM LAETI, the rising soul act of the international scene, takes on its singer’s
multiculturalism and uses her various influences to create a style. After a first album
entitled It Will All Come Around, the band moves away from acoustic folk with its second
opus, For the Music, with its catchy melodies, intoxicating rhythms and good Caribbean
vibrations. Inspired by Motown, FM LAETI brings to us an old school soul coloured by a
solar and brilliant voice. From Ray Charles to Nina Simone via Michael Jackson, the result
is a glittery resolutely vintage pop which is as readily listened to as danced to.

Hailing from the rainy streets of Manchester, this oddly named trio is the latest rising
stars of the UK Jazz scene. Featuring pianist Chris Illingworth, double bassist Nick
Blacka and drummer Rob Turner, GoGo Penguin have become the most exciting band
of the contemporary music scene after only two albums. Their critically acclaimed second
album, V2.0, is a captivating synthesis of the most diverse influences: from Apex Twin to

distinctive and brave new sound. Their telepathic interactions, frenetic breakbeats and
catchy tunes promise to combine for a great acoustic concert.

This won't be French musical phenomenon Guillaume Perret's first time in Cully. In

For his new project Electric Epic, he is backed by three musicians from the progressive
rock and contemporary jazz scene: guitarist Nenad Gajin bass player Laurent David
and drummer Yoann Serra. Their latest album from outer space, Open me, reveals
some psychedelic and hybrid music, a subtle blend of explosive punk, roaring rock and
fusion jazz. Each of their compositions offers an audio-sensorial trip of a transcendental
nature, deconstructing all musical stereotypes. Halfway between an electric Miles Davis
and Magma's Zeuhl, their music deftly mixes stunning improvisations, frenetic rhythms,
funky grooves and troubling electronica. In one word: Epic!

After serving in the US Air Force, this singer with an unusual career path then waited till
she was 52 before recording some of her own compositions. With All is Well, Lisa
Simone, the daughter of the famous activist and diva, has come up with a personal and
finely crafted album, in which Nina occasionally surges forth, but never gate crashes.
Having moved from under the shadow of her mother, Lisa is able to pay homage to her
in her own way with a brilliant reworking of the iconic hit, Ain't Got No, I Got Life. With
the support of her composer, arranger and guitarist, the Senegalese Hervé Samb, the

which goes far beyond linguistic and stylistic barriers: a bright and sunlit foray into a
poetic and intimate musical universe far from the usual exotic stereotypes.

the other and has collaborated with European jazz veterans as well as the new
generation, experiencing musical encounters that unceasingly give a new momentum to

A great admirer of Steve Reich and John Cage, the pianist from Zurich Nik Bärtsch has
distanced himself from the genre’s masters by developing his own universe, and is
recognised and adulated throughout Europe. A paradigm of Helvetic success with his
band Ronin, he also leads since the early 2000s an acoustic project in which he explores
the infinite possibilities of a fascinating, meditative and rousing music. It is this project
that the Cully Temple’s stones will reverberate to.

These two friends have been working together since 1989. On stage, they demonstrate a
perfect understanding and a rare complementarity. One is a virtuoso cellist and genius
arranger, the other is a multicultural singer with an astounding talent for storytelling.
Vincent Segal and Piers Faccini live their music in an inspired and playful way. From a
Neapolitan ritornello to a lament with a Creole accent, their universe evolves around the
album Songs of Time Lost and is revisited at every new performance.

Pura Fé is back in Cully with her legendary lap-steel guitar and a new album, Sacred
Seed.The multi-talented, Native American artist explores with great subtlety and courage
her gifts as an instrumentalist, composer and poet. Blending blues, folk and traditional
music to express the legacy of her ancestors, her plural identity helps the singer
transcend centuries. With four generations of musicians behind her, she seeks the roots
of Native American music, tying shamanism to modern technology. Set against minimal
music and noble melodies, her raw and powerful voice sings the tragic story of an
oppressed people.

Roman Bruderer (djembe, doundoun)
Sharing a common passion for vintage recordings of all kind, trombonist Michael Flury
and pianist Vera Kappeler found themselves playing as DJs with their two gramophones
at the Moods in Zurich in 2014. The idea came up of showcasing an eclectic collection of
78 rpm discs in a project where the line between tradition and modernity is satisfyingly
blurred. Vera Kappeler is no stranger to Cully, as the wild and multi-facetted pianist
came to Cully in 2008 for a remarkable performance with her trio. The same goes for her
accomplice, prodigious trombonist, who came to Cully alongside Sophie Hunger and
Tobias Preisig. Together with percussionist Roman Bruderer, Schallack is a
spontaneous creation, a jam between musicians and gramophones where musical
traditions and periods clash. A sublimely anachronistic project which gives birth to
modern music with an archaic pulse.

After taking his first steps alongside Avishai Cohen, it's as part of a trio that Shai
Maestro has really taken off, accompanied by double bass player Jorge Roeder and
drummer Ziz Ravitz. In their company, the aptly-named Maestro shapes the sonorities
of his native Israël into brilliantly improvised fantasies. His music is steeped in jazz and
traditional sounds, but the execution is classical and delicately captivating. With
simplicity and patience, the trio produces some intensely romantic music, highlighted by
sober rhythms. The three musicians possess formidable technique but favour restraint
and avoid demonstrations of virtuosity as they explore a touching and poetic universe.

one man show, set in a sort of Wunderkammer, a musical cabinet of wonders.
Surrounded by an armada of musician automats, he will play an original repertoire
composed in collaboration with renowned writers Philippe Djian and Martin Suter. An
exercise in technological and poetic high-wire equilibrium, which is guaranteed to keep

laureate of the Prix du Public of the Tremplin Lémanique at the Montreux Jazz Festival in
2008, sails rapidly towards international acclaim. Swiss by adoption, the Cuban origins of
the singer come through passionately in music full of exquisitely complex Afro-Cuban
rhythms. Mixing jazz and traditional Cuban music, the artist uses her plural identity to
transcend the geographical borders of her different influences. Backed by pianist Daniel
Stawinsky, double bass player David Brito and drummer/percussionist Cyril
Regamey, Ylian Cañizares will set the Chapiteau on fire with her communicative energy

career built on encounters and experiments. Here, however, he delivers an introspective
project, a thousand miles away from the facetious universe we know. Originally a
creation on the theme of the Diaspora, Le Silence de l'Exode provides the opportunity for
this young clarinettist to look into the legendary exodus of the Jewish people who were
guided by Moses after fleeing Egypt. With the help of three virtuosi, he intertwines
Oriental, North African, Jewish and Armenian music and sensibilities. A sumptuous
journey.

One of the rising stars of British Jazz, Zara McFarlane took her first steps on the

acclaimed first album in 2011, the singer with Jamaican roots released the sublime If you
knew her which won her an award at the prestigious MOBO Awards. A smooth mix of
moody jazz and sensual new soul, this new album reveals an eclectic artist who borrows
as much from Pharaoh Sanders' spiritual jazz as she does from reggae and soul.
Sensitive and serene, Zara MacFarlane lays her incredibly rich voice over some spare yet
richly classical arrangements.

THE OFF FESTIVAL
More than 70 free concerts
The OFF Festival is one of Cully Jazz Festival’s strengths. It consists of about 70
free concerts spread over the Festival’s 9 days and in 14 venues, in Cully’s old
quarter.
Festival OFF changes constantly and its success is exponential. Comprised of a number of
wine cellars or caveaux, varying in number between 12 and 14 from one year to the
next, it always offers a wide-ranging variety of jazz, inclusive of both innovation and
tradition. The Cully Jazz Festival’s organisers are committed to improving the services
which are offered to the public. Thus, they focus particularly on the quality of the
listening experience and the welcome, as well as facilitating the flow of festival-goers
through the village’s alleyways.
To each caveau its own character
Individual traits which define each wine cellar’s character are polished to perfection,
whether it be their musical programme or their atmosphere. The Schlagzeug welcomes
essentially groups that come from the swiss german scene. The Caveau Mélanie
Weber, situated in the heart of the village, has, from its opening in 2012, adopted a
world music programme. Finally, since its beginnings in 2011, Le Jardin has
progressively become one of the most visited venues of the OFF Festival, with invited
artists throughout the entire week.
The residencies’ success
The concept of residencies which prevails at the Jardin, the Caveau des Vignerons as
well as the THBBC, makes possible original and improbable artistic encounters. It
contributes to making the OFF Festival a place of discoveries and exceptional creativity.
In 2013, the residency “Tobias Preisig en laboratoire” in the Jardin, for example, enabled
the Swiss-German violinist to lay down the first steps to his next opus. The latter was
released in March 2014.
As for the Caveau des Vignerons, a true place of folly, exchanges and musical
explorations, it invites all of the IN Festival’s artists to take part in jam sessions after
their performances. For a decade, the Veveysan pianist, Malcolm Braff, has breathed life
into it. A true force of nature, Malcolm Braff imbued the Caveau des Vignerons with what
has become the heart of the Festival’s magical and spontaneous musical encounters.
Wishing to pass on the torch to young local artists, for 2012, Malcolm Braff invited
Matthieu Llodra, Fabien Iannone and Maxence Sibille to manage the Caveau des
Vignerons with him. Since the 2013 Festival, these three musicians have become the
new guardians of this temple dedicated to improvised music.

SWEET BASILE
Saturday 11 April | Caveau open from 18:00 to 02:00
Gauthier Toux (percussion)
Kenneth Dahl Knudsen (double bass)
Valentin Liechti (drums)
Ex-HEMU student and no stranger to the area, Gauthier Toux usually works with double
bass player Kenneth Dahl Knudsen and drummer Maxence Sibille. Their appearance in
Cully brings a slight change in musicians, Maxence giving up his stool to Swiss musician
Valentin Liechti, a regular of the Festival. The trio delight the jazz aficionados
they meet everywhere they go, from Vienna to Orléans, Copenhagen to Lausanne and on
many other stages. Their music navigates between actual styles, hybridisation and
tradition, giving way to their first album, More than Ever.
Matthieu Llodra Trio
(CH)
<><><><><><><><><><><><><
CAVEAU DES VIGNERONS
Residency from 10th to 18th April. Caveau open from 20:00 to 02:00 (Thursday to
Saturday) and from 20:00 to 01:00 (Sunday to Wednesday)
Matthieu Llodra (keyboards)
Fabien Iannone (bass)
Maxence Sibille (drums)
Many a night since 2010 have these three youngsters of the Romand Jazz scene invited
themselves on to the stage of the Caveau des Vignerons, stealing the show from the
resident trio and proving their impressive skill for keeping up a quality jam session,
sometimes frenzied, sometimes delicate, always attentive to participants spontaneously
joining the session. In 2012 the group received the public's prize at the Tremplin
Lémanique du Montreux Jazz Festival, a rather encouraging distinction. Now confirmed
residents, the trio has left their jazz-groove influences for electronic jazz. There is little
doubt that this fresh and dynamic trio will enchant you to the end of the night with their
jungle and drum'n'bass inspirations.

Olivier Magarotto (orgue, keyboards)
Johan Wermeille (drums)
Willliam Jacquemet (trombone)
Julien Revilloud (guitar)
In a universe with no limits, small musical particles called Quarks combine to create an
explosive musical project akin to the Big Bang, origin of all matter. The impossible to
classify Quarkstet are four musicians with a strong rhythmic outline and spirited
melodies on the keyboard. The result is a mind-blowing and hypnotic adventure to the
heart of quantum physics, the origin of the Quarkstet show. From the cold expanses of
the universe to the african fire via secret Armenia, Olivier Magarotto and his men will
take you on an ever-expanding trip where the sum of the parts is greater than the whole.
Pauline Ganty 4tet

SWEET BASILE
Wednesday 15 April | Caveau open from 20:00 to 01:00
Pauline Ganty (vocals)
Fabien Iannone (bass)
Marc Méan (percussion)
Dominic Egli (drums)
The Pauline Ganty Quartet offer a truly hypnotic experience. The melody verges on
poetry while supporting with brio a voice that guides us through musical spaces of which
the limits are pushed back. Very personal compositions, an aerial tempo and revisited
French songs in a very intimate atmosphere will carry you away. Time is put on hold,
gravity lessens its hold and emotions take you on a musical trip.

Simon Spiess (reeds)
Bänz Oester (bass)
Daniel Mudrack (drums)
Brought together around the fascinating saxophonist Simon Spiess, holder of several
cultural prizes in his country, the members of the trio put the pleasure of playing
together above all else. The musicians have been interpreting their own compositions
since they founded the band in 2008. Their latest album, Round 4, was born from their
mix of passion, trust and enthusiasm, as well as their tour through Europe. The trio will
be passing through Cully, a good occasion to discover the talent of these three musicians
who although they tend to stray a bit on their way, always get to their goal.

Franz Treichler (vocals)
Bernard Trontin (drums)
Cesare Pizzi (keyboards)
Under the name of The Treichler Pizzi Trontin Experience, this concert presents itself as a
laboratory of ideas, a space for exploration that aims to give the public the occasion of
witnessing the birth of a new creation. The three Young Gods members will be residents
of the tHBBC for public jam sessions. A pure exploration of sounds.

CULLY JAZZ FESTIVAL
a few words…
The 33rd edition of the Cully Jazz Festival will take place from 10th to 18th of
April. With 9 days of music, 30 paying concerts and 70 free concerts, the Cully
Jazz Festival has become a not-to-be-missed event for amateurs of jazz and
warm ambiences. In 2014, over 65'000 people walked through the narrow
streets, wine cellars and along the lake-side in Cully.
For the past 30 years, the Cully Jazz Festival has stayed true to the values which have
contributed to its success: the quality of its musical programme, the committed
volunteers, and the loyal audience, all made possible thanks to a wonderful natural
location and warm hospitality.
Jazz in all its forms
Every year, the village of Cully celebrates Jazz with prestigious, crowd-pleasing concerts.
At the same time, curious festival-goers wishing to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the
place can wander freely between a myriad of wine cellars, constituting the OFF Festival.
It is, without doubt, the blend of the IN Festival’s paying concerts and the OFF Festival’s
free concerts that attract more visitors every year.
On its three stages – Chapiteau, Next Step and Temple – the IN Festival can pride itself
on having welcomed prestigious artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Wayne Shorter, Gilberto
Gil, Madeleine Peyroux, Marianne Faithfull, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Charles Lloyd, Jan
Garbarek, Carla Bley, Marcus Miller, Michel Petrucciani, John Scofield, Ahmad Jamal and
Monty Alexander.
The OFF Festival consists of 13 cafés and wine cellars spread throughout the village. It
provides a springboard for many young Swiss Jazz players; indeed, musicians playing at
the OFF Festival often find themselves on the Festival IN program a few years later.
A festival in the heart of the Lavaux
Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, in the heart of the Lavaux World Heritage site,
Cully is a wine-growing village of exceptional charm. For the last 30 years, its inhabitants
have been opening their doors, their cellars, and even sometimes their living rooms to
musicians, allowing an inimitable feeling of sharing and conviviality. Thus, lovers of
quality music, elegant wines and good company gather in a lively Festival thanks to the
generosity of Cully’s inhabitants.
The festival could not take place without the help of volunteer staff. Even though the
operational management of the festival is the responsibility of a team of professionals,
rising from 2 to 9 as the year progresses, the organizing committee is made up of 11
members, all of whom are volunteers. Their work is supported during the 9 days of the
festival by the 480 volunteers who work in the different sectors of the Festival.

THE COMMITTEES
For several years, three committees, assigned to three specific thematics, have been
working behind the scenes of the Cully Jazz Festival. They are constituted of members of
the office, the organising committee as well as external consultants.
Programming commission
The programming commission handles the artistic direction of the festival. Helped by
several residents of the village and other partners, it is in charge of composing the
festival line-up. It is responsible for contacts with artists and agents, production and
public relations with both the public and media representatives.
The committee collaborates closely with Gilliane and Nicolas Rosazza, Claire and Roger
Rémy, Laurence Baudat and Hubert Detrey, Xavier Koeb, Daniel Fayet, the Aga Khan
Foundation and the Addis Sound Association while preparing the OFF Festival’s

33rd Edition
10-18 April 2015
The cultural outreach committee
The cultural outreach committee, founded in autumn 2012, aims to develop the Festival’s
existing educational and social programmes, such as those geared to a young audience,
for example. It is also in charge of strengthening the link between the Festival, Jazz and
stage culture on one side and the Festival’s different participants (the audience, the staff,
the local population, the political authorities and the partners) on the other.
The cultural outreach committee is composed of Nicolas Potterat, Sophie Dufour, Jérôme
Arendse, Sandy Clavien and Sébastien Joly.
The sustainable development committee
The Cully Jazz Festival is concerned with environmental issues and, therefore, tries to
reduce its ecological footprint in order to preserve its beautiful site. Every year, the
sustainable development committee* re-examines its aims in order to reduce the
Festival’s environmental impact. It has notably introduced reusable cups, 100%
renewable energy, recycling, and continually sought to improve the public transport
network.
The committee is composed of Lionel Regamey, Christophe Borel, Nicolas Potterat, Fiona
Rossi-Cavin and Caroline Coquerelle.

The Lavaux-Cully-Jazz Foundation, a non-profit cultural foundation, was founded in 1987
with the aim to help support the Cully Jazz Festival and promote jazz and other musical
genres in the Lavaux district. The Foundation takes care of fundraising and is therefore
essential to the survival of the Festival.
The Foundation’s committee, which meets four to five times per year, is constituted of
Emmanuel Gétaz (President), Caroline Bachmann, Maud Carrard Gay, Jean-Philippe
Castella, Michel Fouvy, Xavier Koeb, Jean-François Potterat and Ludovic Tirelli.
The Foundation’s Soirée
Every year during the Festival, the Foundation organises a fundraising soirée. In 2014,
this soirée will take place on Sunday 6 April 2014. Find out more about this soirée.
The Cully Jazz Festival’s Amis or Friends
Under the aegis of the Lavaux-Cully-Jazz Foundation, the circle of Friend of the Festival
brings together people and companies wishing to support the Cully Jazz Festival. Find
out more about the Festival’s Friends.
Every year, the Festival’s Friends support one of the IN Festival’s evenings. They also
take over the Caveau des Amis located in the rue du Temple and open six nights during
the Festival to host talented pianists.
Finally, since 2012, in order to promote its activities, the Lavaux-Cully-Jazz Foundation
has a promotional stand in the Chapiteau’s entrance.

CULLY JAZZ FESTIVAL
POSTER 2015
Inspired by the Festival’s privileged and harmonious setting between the Lavaux and the
Lac Léman, Anaëlle Clot has focused on the impact of a drop falling in water and
spreading like a wave, like a sound, then transforming and evolving.
Visually, Anaëlle has produced a kaleidoscopic effect by drawing abstract, organic or
geometric forms, which build up and harmonise like a musical composition.
Declinable ad infinitum, this principle offers her the means to compose different visuals,
depicting all of the Festival’s richness, its energy, music and its festival-goers.
Anaëlle has created three posters with different universes for the Festival:
¨
Aquatic universe
Vegetal-organic universe
Univers géométrique
ABOUT THE ARTIST, ANNAËLLE CLOT
Anaëlle Clot (1988, Lausanne) lives and works in Lausanne as a graphic designer and
artist.
After studying visual communication at the École Romande d’Art et de Communication
(ERACOM), she was employed in 2009 as graphic designer at the studio KO in Yverdon,
then in 2012 at the Atelier Cocchi in Lausanne where she is still working.
At the same time, she launched the fanzine “Le Dévaloir” with Laura Morales and
Vanessa Besson, which aims to popularise different means of artistic expression through
an eclectic content. The publication has achieved critical success in French-speaking
Switzerland. Since 2012, Anaëlle Clot has dedicated herself to drawing alongside her
other activities.
Fascinated by fantasy worlds, the artist adapts chimeras, kaleidoscopes or fantastical
plants, which come to life under a meticulous plume. Anaëlle explores the richness of a
dense and wonderful universe.
