A jazz pioneer, Louis Armstrong was the first important soloist to emerge in jazz, and he became the most influential musician in the music's history. As a trumpet virtuoso, his playing charted a future for jazz in highly imaginative, emotionally charged improvisation. But Armstrong also became an enduring figure in popular music due to his distinctively phrased baritone singing and engaging personality, which were on display in a series of vocal recordings and film roles. His biggest hits include “What A Wonderful World,” “La Vie En Rose,” “Summertime,” “West End Blues,” “When You're Smilin',” “Blueberry Hill,” “Hello, Dolly!” and more.
Gunhild Carling is the epitome of joy in everything she does as a dazzling singer, dancer, and multi-instrumental genius. This International Jazz star plays several instruments such as trombone, trumpet, recorder, bagpipe, harmonica, drums and piano, and has toured extensively around the world with her Swedish Family and other All Star Bands. She was featured in several of Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox's adaptations of pop songs, which include a jazz swing version of Rick Astley's "Never Going to Give You Up", a 1920s jazz swing version of "Material Girl", a vintage jazz version of Europe's "The Final Countdown", a jazz cover of Pharrell Williams' "Happy", and a 1920s hot jazz cover of ABBA's "Dancing Queen".

Bilal returns to the spotlight following the success of his two album releases in 2024. Bilal: Live at Glasshaus is a mid-career retrospective that reimagines standouts from his classic repertoire, shining a spotlight on his ever-evolving artistry that asserts, in 2024, he is at the height of his powers, eternally honing his craft and finding new edges in his voice. It is a powerful reminder of Bilal’s dynamic vocal abilities and songwriting mastery. 
That was followed with his first album of new music in eight years titled Adjust Brightness, which marks a new chapter for Bilal. The album features 11 brand-new tracks that will take listeners on his most daring musical journey yet. Adjust Brightness represents a bold step forward in Bilal’s already innovative sound, blending his deep love of soul, funk, and jazz with futuristic, electronic, and abstract elements. This album is a giant step forward, as Bilal merges his organic, soulful roots with experimental electronic influences inspired by artists like Aphex Twin and Stereolab. Listeners can expect an immersive sonic experience that defies genre conventions, as Bilal continues to evolve and refine his unique style.
