My personal favorite Till Brönner album is "Blue Eyed Soul", released 2001 on Verve. A collaboration with Japanese DJ Samon Kawamura and soul vocalist Mark Murphy that embraced electronica idioms to update the trumpeter's sound into the postmodern era.

All too often German trumpet player and vocalist Till Brönner tends to play "too smooth" for a jazz purists ear. Consequently he has explored different territories of today´s popular music forms, as he did on his latest recording "Rio", recorded in Brazil.
On this concert date presented here with an excellent band, Brönner shows also his jazz side, paying off his dues to modern trumpet playing (c.f. the really great solo on Freddie Hubbard´s Little Sunflower).

This Buenos Aires-born guitarist, foremost known as a guitarist for Sting, needs no introduction. He is well known as a very virtuosic sideman and session musician, but meanwhile, Dominic Miller recorded several solo albums, one of them called "Third World". Some of the tunes of this record he played on this very special gig at Jazz Baltica featuring percussion master Trilok Gurtu, Belgian bass player Nicolas Fiszman and British pianist Mike Lindup. Maybe some purists won´t call it Jazz, but it´s really great music anyway.
