Description/Reviews
Born and raised in Israel, trombonist, composer and bandleader Reut Regev started shaping her impressive reputation on the Jazz scene at a young age. At only five years old she was introduced to the piano, and then added the trombone to her repertoire at age thirteen. While in high school, she had the opportunity to play with some of Israel’s most creatively improvisa-tional musicians, as well as perform at Israel’s top Jazz Festivals. Reut eventually decided to concentrate on her beloved trombone, and has proven to be a remarkably inspiring innovator. After serving in Israel’s army band as first trombonist and soloist, Reut made her way to New York City, joining her now husband, drummer Igal Foni.

Reut has been living and creating music in NYC for over a decade, collaborating, recording and touring with some of the finest musicians in various fields, including Latin, Klezmer, Rock, Blues, Jazz, contemporary classical and improvised music. Anthony Braxton, Frank London, Butch Morris, Joe Bataan, Firewater, Elliott Sharp, Burton Greene, Metropolitan Klezmer, Hazmat Modine and many more have picked Reut as their Trombonist of Choice for tours, recordings and other projects.

After years of working mostly as a side musician, Reut has finally decided to put her own spin on things. Together with her husband Igal and some of the top musicians in NYC, she has recorded her debut Album "This is R*time". R*time’s second release, “Exploring the Vibe”, featuring guitar master Jean Paul Bourelly and Mark Peterson on Bass, will be released on ENJA RECORDS in January 2013 on the occasion of Reut’s festival appearance in Muenster / Germany which will be broadcasted live by WDR (Germany) and ORF (Austria).

Description/Reviews
German guitarist, singer, writer and arranger Monika Roscher leads her own Big Band (of course it’s called Monika Roscher Bigband) and does some incredibly unique music on her first album “Failure in Wonderland”, which is out on the famous german jazzlabel enja. It’s some kind of modern Big Band Jazz and it’s experimental indie pop, mixed with electronic beats, a lush singing voice and incredibly furious guitar solos.
