Ruby Wilson at Bern Switzerland International Jazzfest 2005 - 03/10/05
REG's Ruby Wilson opened the 30th anniversary of the Bern Switzerland International Jazzfest in March 2005 to glowing reviews and adoring crowds. Performing in the world-famous Marian's Jazzroom in the Swiss capital -- where greats from Dizzy Gillespie to B.B. King have played -- Ruby packed two shows nightly with her hand-picked band of top Memphis musicians: Phillip Coleman, Marcus Hullette, Nathaniel Holleyman, and Raishene Webb.
Bern is Switzerland's most musically sophisticated city, and Ruby wowed the standing-room-only crowds with a potent mix of Memphis blues, jazz, and R&B. Only Ruby could turn chestnuts like "Mustang Sally" and "Brickhouse" into hot jazz pieces, challenging herself and her band nightly to deliver inventive, improvisational takes on Memphis classics.
During the day, the band enjoyed touring the historic city and even ventured into the Alps, taking a train to the Jungfraujoch, "The Top of Europe," for some of the world's most spectacular vistas.
