Till Brönner

One of the most successful German pop stars is a jazz musician, as the magazine Musikexpress aptly summed it up: Till Brönner, the exceptionally gifted trumpeter, succeeds in directly touching people with his beautiful melodies between hard bop, honky-tonk and hit parade and lends a distinctive new sound to Jazz – with brilliant clarity and undisguised expressiveness. On his new album “Rio” (2008) are performing guest-musicians like Annie Lennox, Sergio Mendes, Aimee Mann, Milton Nascimento, and Kurt Elling. A relaxed summer-album with Brazilian music produced by Larry Klein, an all-star-album between Jazz, Bossa Nova, Samba and Pop.

Interestingly enough, Verizon currently has no plans to limit their bandwidth.  (Source: aol.com)
