Liv Warfield has finally made the leap into jazz-funk with the release of her third solo album. It has been a long journey for this extraordinary artist with a distinctive voice. Who can still remember **“The New Power Generation”**? Yes, we are talking about **Prince**. And one of the women who was part of “The New Generation” that he put together was this Liv Warfield. ---------- Liv Warfield hat dieser Tage ihr 3. Solo-Album auf den Markt gebracht und hat damit den Schritt in den Jazz-Funk endgültig vollzogen. Es war ein längerer Weg, den die außergewöhnliche Künstlerin mit der unverkennbaren Stimme zurückgelegt hat. Wer kann sich an die **»The New Power Generation«** erinnern? Ja, wir reden von **Prince**. Und eine Frau, aus der von ihm zusammengestellten neuen Generation, war jene Liv Warfield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSaN6eyRBsU&&pp=ygURbGl2IHdhcmZpZWxkIGpheno%3D It was all about rock and funk of the noble kind – with Prince as an employer. Jazz seemed to be too complicated and certainly not suitable for earning a decent income. All of this seems to have faded into the background in the meantime. With the album **“The Edge”**, the artist, together with **Bobby Sparks (keys), Mark Lettieri (guitar) and Jay McK (bass)**, convinces with a varied mix of Funk/Jazz and Afrobeat. ---------- Mit Prince als Arbeitgeber ging es um Rock und Funk der edlen Sorte. Der Jazz schien zu kompliziert und erst recht nicht tauglich für ein vernünftiges Einkommen. All das scheint jetzt in den Hintergrund geraten zu sein. Mit dem Album **„The Edge“** überzeugt die Künstlerin zusammen mit **Bobby Sparks (Keys), Mark Lettieri (Gitarre) und Jay McK (Bass)** durch eine vielfältige Mischung aus Funk/Jazz hin zu Afrobeat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3517bDOOAI& There was no way I could have predicted this career path. The daughter of a preacher who grew up in Peoria, Illinois, she was also considered a promising athlete while studying at Portland State University. That all changed when Prince saw a video of Liv Warfield performing her version of the Rolling Stones' classic **'Gimme Shelter'** on YouTube. Soon after, she found herself at **Paisley Park**, Minnesota. ---------- Vorherzusehen war dieser Werdegang eigentlich nicht. In Peoria (Illinois) als Tochter eines Predigers aufgewachsen, galt sie während ihres Studiums an der Portland State University auch als hoffnungsvolles Leichtathletik-Talent. Dies änderte sich allerdings, als Prince auf YouTube das Video von Liv Warfield sah, in dem sie ihre Version des Rolling-Stones-Klassikers **„Gimme Shelter“** zum Besten gab. Kurze Zeit später fand die Künstlerin sich in **Paisley Park** (Minnesota) wieder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWAKFtq-VWI& Liv Warfield has not only performed on three Prince albums, **Lotusflow3r, 20TEN and Welcome 2 America**, but also released her second album in 2014 called **The Unexpected**, which was not only produced by Prince. No, it was he, who had a hand in the album's title song. This was followed by appearances on popular late night shows. These included **“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”** and **“Jimmy Kimmel Live!”** ---------- Liv Warfield war nicht nur auf den drei Alben von Prince **„Lotusflow3r“, „20TEN“ sowie „Welcome 2 America“** aktiv, sondern brachte zudem 2014 ihr zweites Album unter dem Titel **„The Unexpected“** auf dem Markt, welches übrigens von Prince nicht nur produziert wurde. Nein, er war es, der den Titelsong beisteuerte. Es folgten Auftritte in den populären Late-Night-Shows. Darunter auch in **„The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon“** und **„Jimmy Kimmel Live!“** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u29mGYDA2yI& In 2017, Warfield and guitarist and singer **Nancy Wilson (Heart)** founded the formation **"Roadcase Royale”**. The resulting album **“The First Thing First”** served as a musical banner for the **Women's March on Washington**. The Illinois-born artist's popularity has benefited greatly as a result. ---------- 2017 gründete Warfield mit der Gitarristin und Sängerin **Nancy Wilson (Heart)** die Formation **„Roadcase Royale“**. Das daraus resultierende Album **„The First Thing First“** diente der Frauenbewegung **„Women’s March on Washington“** als eine Art musikalischer Flagge, was der Popularität der Künstlerin aus Illinois sehr zugute kam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9NQMhvNS6c& It took another five years for Liv Warfield to completely reorganise and reorient herself, before taking the step towards jazz-funk with her third solo album, **“The Edge”**. In short, the critics' verdict is as follows: *"A well-thought-out and at the same time broad musical spectrum of powerful rock, catchy funk and deep soul, which reflects her experience of the last few years from working with various exceptional artists as well as the musical maturity she has gained from it*. ---------- Es hat dann weitere fünf Jahre gedauert, bis Liv Warfield sich einmal wieder vollkommen neu sortiert und orientiert hat, um mit ihrem dritten Solo-Album **„The Edge“** den Schritt hin zum Jazz-Funk zu wagen. Kurz zusammengefasst, beurteilt die Kritik das Resultat nun wie folgt: **„Ein durchdachtes und gleichzeitig breit gefächertes musikalisches Spektrum aus powervollem Rock, eingängigem Funk und tiefgehendem Soul ihre Erfahrung der letzten Jahre aus der Zusammenarbeit mit diversen AusnahmekünstlerInnen sowie die daraus gewonnene musikalische Reife.“** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z9WXzluHvk& ![](https://paper-attachments.dropboxusercontent.com/s_6DA02568D06AFF2E55530C76CD6734A7C08388E3AF2874F20438EE9CBE8859C9_1696135469424_rote+Sterne.png) Who would like to find out more about this woman who has so much energy in her?

I am already looking forward to seeing who I will be able to invite to the stage next Sunday. But until then, I'll leave you with a list of the artists who have already performed at the Jazz Matinee. ---------- Damit schließen sich für heute die Pforten zur Jazz-Matinee.
