Spark produces "Live at AVO Session" DVD series in cooperation with the Festival AVO Session Basel and Swiss TV channel SF DRS.
For more than 25 years, AVO Session Basel has been entertaining young and old audiences with its carefully selected list of performing artists at the concert series taking place each year in autumn. From blues to jazz, from reggae to hip hop, from pop to rock, AVO Session Basel out performs itself year-by-year by presenting a wide array of performing artists in an intimate atmosphere. Most concerts have been recorded by its media partner, the Swiss TV channel SF DRS.
Finally, AVO Session is opening its vaults to the public and has entered a joint venture with Spark Marketing Entertainment to produce a series of DVD that reflect the high quality of the Festival.
The first DVD, SOLOMON BURKE – THE KING LIVE AT AVO SESSION BASEL was released last year. Known for hits like "Everybody Needs Somebody", "Proud Mary" and "Cry to Me", Solomon Burke had everyone dancing in the aisles at his unforgettable performance at the AVO SESSION Basel in 2003. "Georgia on My Mind", "Dock of the Bay", "Mona Lisa", "I Will Survive" and "Stand by Me" are only a few of the musical delicacies on the DVD.
Due to its good results, Spark has now made the title available across Europe and the US.
November 2009 has seen the release of the second Title of the series: JETHRO TULL – LIVE AT AVO SESSION BASEL.
A unique phenomenon in popular music history. Jethro Tull have been and still are one of the most successful live performing acts on the world stage, rivalling Led Zeppelin, Elton John and even the Rolling Stones. After forty years at the bottom,
at the top and various points in between, with now some 30-odd albums to their credit and sales totalling more than 50 million, Jethro Tull are still performing typically more than a hundred concerts each year. This is one of their best.”
Patrizia Caruselli, Spark’s Executive Producer for the project: “What we’re trying to create is more than “just another DVD series”. With its unique concept of table-seated audience, AVO Session Basel stands for cosy and classy atmosphere and attracts a premium, adult audience, shown also in the choice of titles released on DVD. All in all, the product is proud to reflect the well-known Swiss Made Quality in all its facets.”
