“A Musical Romance” — Prez & Lady Day

Leina - Vocal

Lü Feng - Saxophone

Liu Jianhuang - Bass

Zhao Meng - Piano

Cao Zhonglan - Drums

What made their collaboration so special was the way they broke beyond the traditional “singer and accompaniment” relationship. Lester’s saxophone was never just background music — it became another storyteller, engaging Billie in a tender and deeply emotional conversation.

That connection extended far beyond the stage. Billie called Lester “Prez” (President), while Lester called her “Lady Day.” These nicknames became more than symbols of affection; they became one of the most touching stories in jazz history.

aron! - Vocal / Guitar / Keyboard

In aron!’s music, summer is more than a season — it is a feeling. It lives in the slow shadows of afternoon trees, jazz music playing from an old radio, the final iced coffee before lovers part ways, and the unforgettable people who briefly pass through our lives.

In 2023, aron! began experimenting with what he calls a “vintage pop sound” — a blend of jazz, old-school pop, bedroom pop, and cinematic textures. His music quickly gained popularity online, eventually leading him to sign with Verve Records and establish the signature style now known as “Cozy Pop.”

The Minutemen have called a temporary ceasefire, the Brotherhood of Steel has stopped asking questions, and even super mutants might quietly stand outside Fenway Park listening to “Blue Moon.”We’ve prepared swing and jazz from the old world, melodies more addictive than Nuka-Cola, love songs that could make a ghoul cry, and enough awkward late-night radio energy to make Travis Miles proud.

A striped cello and a musical magician who almost became a garbage collector — André Mergenthaler

André Mergenthaler - Cello

Though performing solo, André Mergenthaler carries an entire orchestra within him — along with the spirit of a boy who nearly ended up driving garbage trucks instead of making music. He is one of Luxembourg’s best-known cellists.

Performing primarily through his solo project “Cello Loops,” André also composes for ballet, theatre, and film. By layering live cello loops in real time, he builds dramatic sonic landscapes filled with tension and emotion. It is neither purely classical, electronic, nor jazz — it is a musical language entirely his own.
