Marcel Powell is a virtuoso on the six-string guitar. On the album "Parceria", he arranges compositions by his father Baden Powell (1937-2000), honors his 86th birthday and shows how alive and relevant the musical legacy of the Brazilian guitarist remains. As his father's only pupil, the son follows in his footsteps and enchants the audience. He was born in Paris in 1982 and has recorded ten albums as a composer, including two with his father and his brother, the French-based pianist Philippe Powell.

David Linx is a Belgian jazz and chanson singer, composer and lyricist. He studied drums and worked as a drummer with the American jazz singer Mark Murphy, which motivated him to start singing himself. Together with a group of musicians, including Pierre Van Dormael and Slide Hampton, he made a recording in 1996 with the American writer and activist James Baldwin, who recites poems on this album. Over the years, David Linx has recorded various duo albums with pianist Diederik Wissels. He has also recorded with Toots Thielemans, guitarist Tam De Villiers' quartet, pianist Ivan Paduart's quartet and the Brussels Jazz Orchestra, among others.
Linx was a guest with the pianist in the series that we organized at the Exil in the Radiokulturhaus - that was in 1999. Now the fantastic singer returns with the Brazilian guitar legend. Welcome back! CH
