As always, both the instrumental and vocal arrangements will feature the outstanding soloists of the Zurich Jazz Orchestra.

Karin Meier, born in the Zurich Weinland region, began taking flute lessons at the age of five, followed shortly afterwards by piano lessons. While still a teenager, she joined the Winterthur acid jazz band Critical Acid as a singer, recording several albums with the group and performing concerts throughout Switzerland, as well as appearing on television and radio.
