Stone Raiders Album Tour Update Jan/Feb 2012
Renowned guitarist, singer and songwriter Jean-Paul Bourelly will embark on another vivifying tour as lead singer and guitarist with the group Stone Raiders in support of their upcoming debut album, Truth to Power. An album calling for the awakening of civilization through the mediums of Rock, Funk, Jazz and Soul. Afro-rock extraordinaire Will Calhoun on drums and Darryl “Munch” Jones(of Rolling Stones fame) on bass – whose vocals also adorn several tracks including ‘Power To Spirit’ – complete The Stone Raiders. Their debut offering is flowing with urgency with songs that gather the world’s inhabitants cry for justice and refine it into a compelling musical journey.
As the bands tour last summer preceded any recorded material, Jean-Paul and the rest of the band instilled a reverse distillation method to the album process. They used that tour as inspiration to work out the albums material. In the spirit of this process, advanced CD’s will be available exclusively at all Stone Raiders tour dates. Another bonus available only to concert goers.
Truth to Power may not be the cure to ‘The Money Disease’ – the closing track of the album – but it could be an eye opener to those unaware and a rallying cry to those who see it as clearly as Jean-Paul, Darryl and Will do.
Truth to Power will be released in April 2012 on Yellowbird Records, a division of the acclaimed German Jazz label Enja Records.

Jean-Paul Bourelly’s 50th Birthday Celebration Performance
MAGIC OF THE NOW
JEAN-PAUL BOURELLY’s 50TH ANNIVERSARY PERFORMANCE
I am honored and excited to announce that my friends Archie Shepp, Jamaladeen Tacuma and Joe Bowie are coming to play with me on the 22 Nov to ring in my 50th birthday at the A-trane. I can’t think of a better way to begin the next half century.
I first met the legendary Archie Shepp in 1998 when when we played together at popkomm in Koln. My brother Carl and I used to listen to his records when we were kids. My favorite songs was called “Steam” and Archie and I played that song in that first Koln concert. Later we got the chance to collaborate in a wonderful way on my record Boom Bop.
The amazing Joe Bowie I first heard at the Peppermint lounge in New York with his group Defunkt. In those days all the guitar players wanted to get into that group because he was known to give the guitar space to expand and with Joe as the front man, it was clear they were destined for stardom.
He invited me later at New Yorks Knitting Factory, to record the Defunkt Special edition, “Tribute to Muddy Waters”.
My friendship with the irrepressible Jamaaladeen Tacuma started out in Philadelphia in 97 after a European tour with the recording of the group Brotherzone. Tacuma makes everyone just sound better. He is one of my favorite bassist of all time, mixing R&B with Jazz with harmolodic vibes that always keep his bass ideas cooking.
As for me Jean Paul Bourelly, I’ve been known as a force in new funk forms and I love to mix musical genre’s so this evening will surely turn into a high energy, multi dimensional groove party.
JEAN-PAUL BOURELLYs 3KINGS
Live at the Quasimodo
Dienstag, 30.09.2008
Kantstasse 12a, Berlin-Charlottenburg, Tel. 030 318045-6
(U+S-Bahn Zoologischer Garten)
Jean-Paul Bourelly’s latest group is called 3Kings.
The trio consists of drummer Marlon Browden (Nora Jones and John Scofield) and bassist Jonas “Bibi” Hammond former bassist (with Ali Hassan Kuban) and Bourelly’s rhythmic meaty guitar.
3Kings music is a band that creates its sound from riding on rhythmic currents, highlighted by rugged cymbal work, deep bass grooves and a moody, stratospheric guitar.
This concoction is blended into a sound that is at once mystical and modern. »more info

»Penthesilea«
21. February 2008 Schaubühne Berlin
Experimentaljazz im Krieg der Geschlechter
Gitarrist Jean-Paul Bourelly spielt in Percevals »Penthesilea«-Version
(Premiere. 21.2.08) »review »more info
Für Luk Perceval gehört der Krieg in jener Welt, in der Heinrich von Kleists Amazonen-Drama »Penthesilea« spielt, zum Alltag.
Frau und Mann sind im Kampf der Geschlechter gefangen und menschliche Beziehungen nachhaltig von den Traumata des Krieges geprägt.
Umgeben von Jahrtausende altem Ur-Misstrauen ist es unmöglich, Liebe zu verwirklichen und zu leben.
Luk Percevals Lesart macht Penthesileas Liebeswahn, in dessen finalem »Crime of Passion« sie Achills Herz verschlingt, in poetischer Form greifbar, indem er mit Jean-Paul Bourelly zusammen arbeitet, dessen Improvisationen auf der E-Gitarre Teil der Bühnenaktion sind.
Er konzipiert den Theaterabend gleichsam als eine Art »Konzert«, dessen klangliches Spektrum – in Wort und Musik – an der großen, gewalttätigen Dimension des Kleist’schen Stücks intensiv teilhaben lässt.
