John Legend is much more than his international hit «All Of Me». You would scarcely believe the number of times you have heard the voice of this all-round musician. He sang the backing vocals for Alicia Keys’ mega-hit «You Don’t Know My Name» and on «The Boogie That B» by the Black Eyed Peas. His friend and promoter Kanye West has also often relied on the musical talents of John Legend. What an exclusive opportunity to hear the international star solo on the piano in Basel! Soul diva Nicole Bernegger warms up the stage for him with much soul and passion. So much has the «Voice of Switzerland» winner grown artistically that she now handles the great soul classics with aplomb.

John Legend stormed the charts with hits like «All Of Me» and «Love Me Now», and his latest feel-good song «A Good Night». With his soft voice and smooth looks he quickly acquired the image of a crooner. But musically he covers a much broader spectrum. He has worked as a studio musician and backing vocals singer with the likes of Kanye West and Ms. Lauryn Hill. In Basel the Oscar winner and 10-time Grammy winner will be demonstrating his huge talent, performing solo on the piano. The evening opens with flautist and songwriter Alina Amuri, born in the Congo but now resident in Zurich.
