Didier Mpondo (Cameroon, Percussion)
Didier Mpondo knows how to make drums sing. He is a true painter on the instrument and to watch him play is to see an exuberant creative spirit at work.

He is a team player when it comes to making music and can support and shine with equal aplomb. Born in Cameroon in 1983, Didier made the move to Paris in 2001.

There he honed his craft playing with top French musicians and learning through participating in workshops. He has worked in China and now plays and teaches in Bangkok, Thailand.

Jacob Dinesen (Denmark. Saxophone)

If Danish jazz has one genuine playboy, it must be 46-year old Jakob Dinesen – with a thick line under play. He and his sax and his good looks have romped around most of the world: Europe, Africa, Cuba, Thailand, USA, Japan and Australia. He has received just about every award a Danish musician can get – Grammys and soloist awards. When he saunters on stage, there are always a few moments of total concentration; then a crisp, searching sound emerges from the bell of his sax before starting up. Perhaps jumping straight into an improvisation, perhaps a loyal interpretation of whatever tune is on the agenda.

Behind him lies music played with Paul Motian, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ben Street, Eddie Gomez, Steve Swallow, Tony Allen, Etienne Mbappe, Ignacio Berroa, Nasheet Waits – just to drop a few names. This has led to several albums in his own name, including EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT with Kurt Rosenwinkel, LADY WITH A SECRET with Gomez, ONE KISS TOO MANY with Ben Street, Jakob Bro and Nasheet Waits, AROUND and DINO with Motian, and ENAMORADO EN COPENHAGUE with a large handful of the best Cuban musicians. He has also appeared on countless albums as featured guest or sideman.
