ATTILA VURAL AND ISAM SHÉHADE
Big cinema for the ears
The Zurich-solo guitarist Attila Vural seems to be known in Germany and the United States than in Switzerland. Totally wrong! Attila Vural tugs, kicks and plays his 8-string or 14-string guitars a well-balanced blend of jazz, Latin and rock and leaves every now and again be his fantastic fingerstyle playing sound. His playing of guitar is to understand not only as a string instrument but also as a percussion instrument. This brings new rhythmic possibilities in the game and builds new lines for the clarinetist Isam Shehade. He in turn maintains a lyrical and velvety tone. So they build their pieces of music. This seems a little experimentally but in the entire of auditory sensation it sounds it very harmonic. Since the common first compositions, which date back to the nineties and develop since twelve years, an independent handwriting, which they are playing again and again in Concerts (a.o. Jazztime in Ravensburg).

SILVIA G. AND ATTILA VURAL
Refreshing vocals accompanied by orchestral guitar playing
The two musicians first met during the recording of the 2019 album Harmonized But Different and the piece Footsteps & Segantini. At that time, however, they performed with an organ and Attila's well-known double-neck guitar, and they were already planning a joint concert. Their repertoire includes a selection of original compositions, classics by Ray Charles and other contemporary songs by artists such as Pink Martini.
