Vapaat äänet -kiertue tuo Malmisaliin ranskalaispianisti Andy Emlerin ikonisen trion basisti Claude Tchamitchianin ja rumpali Eric Echampardin kanssa. Illan avaa harmonikkataiteilija Veli Kujalan omaääninen tutkimusmatka ranskalaisen chansonin maailmaan.Suomessa useamman kerran vierailut pianisti-säveltäjä Andy Emler kuuluu ranskalaisen jazzin sävykkäisiin persoonallisuuksiin. Hänen pitkäaikainen trionsa basisti Claude Tchamitchianin ja rumpali Eric Echampardin kanssa on valovoimainen yksikkö, jossa tärkein solisti on itse tämä kolmikko. Trion niin ikään polyfoninen monologi ammentaa vaikutteita jazzista, rockista ja nykymusiikista kehittäen kiehtovan kokonaisuuden, josta syntyy lyyrisiä ja hypnoottisia tuulahduksia.
“Veli Kujala on kaikilla tavoilla mitaten poikkeuksellinen muusikko. Kun törmäsin nuoreen Veliin ensimmäisen kerran, tiesin vain, että hän on erinomainen harmonikansoittaja, ykkösluokan lahjakkuus.” sanoo säveltäjä Osmo Tapio Räihälä.
