Luca Sestak – 钢琴 Piano / 人声 Vocals

“他的才华令人惊叹，让人不禁想到‘神童’这个词。”
——Birgitta Larsson，《Jefferson Blues杂志》

在YouTube上发布的视频获得了千万级点击量，Luca Sestak被音乐评论家们称赞为“布鲁斯和布吉伍吉（Boogie Woogie）钢琴的未来”。
Luca Sestak 1995年1月10日生于德国的策勒。他8岁半时开始学习古典钢琴，11岁时接触爵士和布鲁斯。第一次听到布吉伍吉，Luca就被这种音乐风格迷住了。他自学了布鲁斯钢琴，并在2006年12月在YouTube上分享了自己的第一个演奏视频。随着年龄的增长和名气的日益提升，最早上传的视频已获得了180万的点击量。
2008年，Luca Sestak参加了当地的钢琴独奏比赛“Youth Plays Music”并获得第一名，顺利晋级到国家级比赛。2010年8月他录制了自己的第一张CD专辑《Lost in Boogie》，而后在德国西南广播电视台的“Kaffee oder Tee”节目中首登荧幕。2011年，Luca在法国拉罗克布鲁参加了世界上最大的布吉伍吉音乐节，并获得了“德国布吉伍吉奖”。2014年，Luca发布了他的第二张专辑《New Way》。
随着知名度的不断提升，Lucas受到了众多德国和海外的音乐会、音乐节的邀约，并与许多声名显赫的布吉伍吉/布鲁斯钢琴演奏家同台演出，包括Silvan Zingg、Vince Weber、Bob Seeley、Frank Muschalle和Ben Waters等。
现在Luca Sestak的项目主要演奏他的原创作品和对以往作品的改编，这些作品无一例外地展现出Luca独树一帜的风格。从布鲁斯和布吉伍吉到爵士、放克，再到流行、摇滚和古典，他的音乐将这些截然不同的风格都吸纳其中。Luca说：“在舞台上演奏虽然辛苦，但却能带给我不可思议的愉悦!”

“His talent is amazing, and brings to mind the thought of ‘wonder child’.”
– Birgitta Larsson, Jefferson Blues magazine

The music critics celebrate the musician who’s videos have received about ten million hits on YouTube as “The future of blues and boogie-woogie piano.”
Luca Sestak was born on January 10, 1995 in Celle, Germany. He began learning classic piano when he was eight and a half and discovered jazz and blues music at the age of 11. On hearing it he was immediately captivated by the musical style of boogie-woogie. He self-taught himself blues piano and shared his first video on YouTube in December 2006. As he grew older and his fame continued to grow, his earliest video received as many as 1.8 million hits.
In 2008 Luca took part in the local piano solo competition “Youth Plays Music” and won 1st prize with advancement to the State Contest level. He recorded his first CD album Lost in Boogie in August 2010, and later appeared on German TV for the first time in “Kaffee oder Tee” on SWR. In 2011, Sestak participated in the biggest Boogie Woogie Festival of the world in Laroquebrou, France, and honored with the German Boogie Woogie Award. In 2014 Luca released his second album New Way.
With rising recognition numerous performances at festivals and concerts followed in his home country as well as abroad with big-name pianists of the genre such as Silvan Zingg, Vince Weber, Bob Seeley, Frank Muschalle and Ben Waters.
Today Sestak’s program contains mainly his own compositions and interpretations in which he expresses his unmistakable style. He includes in these the most varied directions of music from the blues and boggie through jazz and funk all the way to pop, rock and the classics. He comments it is “tiring and yet unbelievable pleasure during concerts on stage!”

“AVA三重奏正在尝试的音乐领域还无人涉及。这支组建于荷兰的乐团如此出色地在音乐中融入了地域文化元素，并巧妙地平衡了民族性与自由即兴，让《Music From An Imaginary Land》成为了一张能带来全新音乐概念与体验的真诚之作。”
——AllAboutJazz网站

AVA三重奏是一支充满先锋性的新晋组合。他们的首张专辑《Music From An Imaginary Land》于2017年发行，吸取了地中海、中东和西方爵士乐的多元风格。专辑一经推出，在欧洲范围内就获得了乐迷及评论家的热烈反响。欧洲、澳大利亚、美国及墨西哥的多家音乐电台都播放了这张专辑。比起世界多元文化的影响，三位年轻音乐家的实际创作更多地根植于爵士，但他们把本土文化遗产与独特的乐器配置相结合，碰撞出充满个性的音乐曲风。
组建AVA三重奏的想法最初来自土耳其低音提琴手Esat Ekincioglu和意大利萨克斯手Giuseppe Doronzo。Esat和Giuseppe曾共同在荷兰克劳斯亲王音乐学院进修，相同的审美趣味及类似的地中海血统与人生轨迹，使他们最终走到了一起。AVA三重奏自2015年起开始活跃于欧洲的各大音乐节及演出现场，如荷兰Zomer Jazz Fiets Tour和Tivoli Vredenburg，及意大利的Barletta爵士音乐节等。最近，AVA三重奏正在紧锣密鼓地筹备2018至2019年的欧洲巡演，并计划于意大利乌迪内的ArteSuono工作室进行第二张专辑的录音，该工作室曾获得过格莱美提名。
追溯历史，地中海盆地曾是文明发祥与文化交融的摇篮。如今，同一片土地却面临着贫苦、冲突、战争、移民和混乱。现代社会正经历着飞速的剧变，我们作为年轻一代，更加深刻地体会到这种转变与分化。AVA三重奏的音乐创作超越了种族、地理、宗教和政治的边界，他们希望通过一种最古老的方式去团结所有人，而这种方式正是声音的组合——音乐。

“AVA Trio is doing something musically, that no one else is up to. The Netherlands based group has done a masterful job of blending regional influences as well as balancing ethnic inspirations with free improvisation, thus genuinely creating Music From An Imaginary Land as both a concept and a musical experience.”
– AllAboutJazz.com

The recently formed AVA Trio has a distinctly original sound that blends the musical influences of the Mediterranean, Middle-East and Western jazz on their debut recording Music From An Imaginary Land, released in May, 2017. The album has received an excited response from fans and critics throughout Europe and has been featured in European, as well as Australian, American and Mexican radios. The three young musicians play original compositions that owe more to jazz than to global influences but they incorporate their native heritages, along with somewhat unusual instrumentation, to form some unique ideas.
AVA Trio is the brainchild of Turkish bassist Esat Ekincioglu and Italian saxophonist Giuseppe Doronzo. Esat and Giuseppe met during their studies at the Prins Claus Conservatorium (NL), and they were drawn closer due to their shared aesthetic perspective, their common Mediterranean roots and their similar pace of life. The Trio has been active since 2015 and played in a number of festivals and venues in Europe, such as the Zomer Jazz Fiets Tour (NL), Tivoli Vredenburg (NL), and Barletta Jazz Festival (IT), among many others. They are now preparing for a busy touring period in 2018-2019 throughout Europe and will be recording their second album in the Grammy-nominated ArteSuono Studios in Udine (IT). 
From times immemorial, the Mediterranean basin was the cradle of civilization and inter-cultural interaction. In present times, the same land faces hardship, conflict, war, immigration and confusion. Modern societies are going through a hasty change, and we – the future generation – are experiencing this transformation and polarization in a profound way. Therefore, AVA Trio is to create a music that is liberated from ethnic, geographical, and racial constraints, as well as political agendas. They are looking for an archaic way of unifying people through the earliest form of communication known to mankind: the organization of sounds, in other words, music.
