Stucky
Born in San Francisco in 1962 of Swiss parents, Erika Stucky grew up in the Bay Area,before her family moved to Switzerland (Valais). After studies of jazz vocals and acting in Paris and San Francisco, she founds, in 1985, the a-capella group (with acoustic bass) "The Sophisticrats" and records two CDs and gives some 500 concerts in Europe and Africa, earning many prizes. In 1991, she founds the quartet "Bubble-Town". In 1994, she appears as a solo singer in George Gruntz' Concert Jazz Band and tours in Switzerland, Germany and Russia. In 1997 her trio "Mrs Bubble & Bones comes into being. In 1999 she tours again with the WDR Bigband and George Gruntz and Dino Saluzzi , later with "Mrs Bubble & Bones" as well as with the trio "Girl Group". She leaves a lasting impression with her performance at the Willisau Jazz Festival with the "International Alphorn Projekt" (with, a .o., Ray Anderson, Bob Stewart ) and takes off again on a new tour with "Mrs Bubble & Bones". In Switzerland she works with The Yound Gods and The Jimi Hendrix Project.
Hippie picnics in San Franciscos Golden Gate Park to a flowery soundtrack of the Monkees, Donovan and Nancy Sinatra. Then suddenly the scene changes abruptly to mountain valleys, yodelling choruses and polka folk in traditional Swiss costume with the Valais Alps looming on the horizon.
Much has been written about this crazy transatlantic biography that whisks a young maiden away from the S.F. Bay Area to Valais in Wonderland. How Erika Stucky not only therapied her childhood culture shock at the C.I.M. Jazz School in Paris with voice training, but actually transformed it, making a powerful entrance onto the jazz floor with George Gruntz and Ray Anderson. And how she finally did a neat job of performing the full intercontinental splits with her very own project Bubbles & Bones. Amorphously to metamorphic. The amazed press described it like this at times: Schimmering between alpine girly and jazz lady more heart-rending than seriously avant-garde. Serious fun (Rolling Stone). Vocal action art between Laurie Anderson, Meredith Monk and Tom Waits, discovered Stereoplay. And FAZ states soberly: There aren´t many vocalists of Erika Stuckys kind. What a noble understatement.
