Have you bid Aixlachapelle ?
I have all her CD's but no autograph.
I might bid later.

I have not bid, I have a personal signed autograph on Diversity shets already before Stuttgart concert.
There she also signed, but after I think the warmest day I can rember - 39C outside and a late concert in amazonas climate. inside - it was past midnight - I thought that Emily and her trio had enough "worked" this day.

I can only say Quincy Jones as a mentor is incredible. And Emily's choice of collobarations/ other musicians also! She never stands still in her development like - sorry to say - many artists, also linked here!

If someone records it...

There is no release date for the next CD yet but it will be again produced by Quincy Jones.

Probably in winter.

And its possible that Emiy who is expolring the Pop genre right now will also sing on it.

But we don't know if its jazz- pop - or mixed.

But we have to wait and with Quincy Jones quality demands ;)

For some reasons there seems to be a professional video for "The Bravest Journey " in the making.

If the Bank/Veterans Organisation who commissioned it for the event last autumn want a professionell video, or if they and Emily want better audio.
If they want it for a DVD, to sell it...

No Idea.

Getting ready for the video shoot for #TheBravestJourney - going to be fun!
