Chur, Jazz Club

I woke up feeling tired but good. I enjoyed breakfast and after saying goodbye to Park Villa in Schaffhausen we went off to Chur! The great thing about the venue in Chur was, that the hotel was in the same building where the concert was. Which gives the Afterparty an especially relaxed atmosphere : )! Sometimes I feel so tired and exhausted before a concert that I don’t know how to do it – it’s a weird thing but as soon as you go on stage, you suddenly feel energy crawling up your spine – carrying you through the evening never leavin you – it feels like magic! I felt that way in Chur, I had a headache and felt exhausted from the top of my head to my toes – but when I heard Ingrid and Hans starting off with the intro –

I followed them…I know I always say the same thing about the audience, but what can I do, everytime they are amazing, and in Chur I fell in love with everyone from the start! Maybe also because a close friend Roli Wismer was sitting right in front me and maybe because in a way mathias started off his way in music in Chur ( I can’t believe that his first band was called Love,Peace and Happiness : ) ). I heard this stunning speech of Amanda Palmer about her audience and she says it is always about giving and receiving! Her words were very inspiring to me, because I feel they are entirely true. When you sing, you trust your audience, you want to give them what you have – and when they start to trust in

you they will give back more than you can hope for…so everytime you start to trust the people in the room and they start to trust you…maybe this is where the magic energy comes from : ) Anyway we had a wonderful night. After the concert we sat and talked with Andrea Engi and got to know about the history of this venue…I couldn’t believe it – Art Blakey, Benny Golson, Clark Terry, Jimmy Cobb and many many more played there!!!I looked at all the pictures enjoying my red wine : )!Though Fabian set off the firealarm (I still can’t believe it : ))everyone was warm and welcoming and you can only leave by thinking you’d come back for sure, yours Lia!
