St. Catherine of Alexandria
VIRGIN, MARTYR
Feast: November 25
From the tenth century onwards veneration for St. Catherine of Alexandria has been widespread in the Church of the East, and from the time of the Crusades this saint has been popular in the West, where many churches have been dedicated to her and her feast day kept with great solemnity, sometimes as a holy-day of obligation. She is listed as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers of mankind among the saints in Heaven; she is the patroness of young women, philosophers, preachers, theologians, wheelwrights, millers, and other workingmen. She was said to have appeared with Our Lady to St. Dominic and to Blessed Reginald of Orleans; the Dominicans adopted her as their special protectress. Hers was one of the heavenly voices heard by St. Joan of Arc.
Artists have painted her with her chief emblem, the wheel, on which by tradition she was tortured; other emblems are a lamb and a sword. Her name continues to be cherished today by the young unmarried women of Paris.
Yet in spite of this veneration, we have few facts that can be relied on concerning Catherine's life. Eusebius, "father of Church history," writing around the year 320, had heard of a noble young Christian woman of Alexandria whom the Emperor ordered to come to his palace, presumably to become his mistress, and who, on refusing, was punished by banishment and the confiscation of her estates. The story of St. Catherine may have sprung from some brief record such as this, which Christians writing at a later date expanded. The last persecutions of Christians, though short, were severe, and those living in the peace which followed seem to have had a tendency to embellish the traditions of their martyrs that they might not be forgotten.

JAN JANKEJE & WEDELI KOEHLER GYPSY PROJECT
www.jazzpoint.net
In most impressive and colourful ways, these five virtuosos merge manifold
musical styles into what becomes a magnificent euphonious experience.
Captivating swing tunes Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli style belong
to their repertoire just as much as Musette, Csardas and strains from Russia
and the Balkans.
The Slovakian-born double bassist and bandleader Ján Jankeje is a well known
entity admid the Sinti as well as the goy jazz scene. The European jazz
community is well aware of his extraordinary artistic qualities and he is
being regarded one of the top protagonists of his instrument. He can proudly
claim to have discovered Bireli Lagrene already in 1979, having subsequently
literally travelled the globe with him. Having performed in worlds most
famous venues like the Carnegie Hall in New York and with illuminaries like
Benny Carter, Stéphane Grappelli and many others, he was awarded a Honorary
Citizenship of New Orleans for his extraordinary merits regarding matters
jazz-musical. „Ján Jankeje is Europes most swinging and impressive double
bassist (Jaco Pastorius).
The violinist and guitarist Wedeli Köhler comes from a Sinti family of a
great musical tradition. His grandfather was just as many of his
ancestors a musician to the court of the Austrian Emperor.
Both his parents were violinists and taught young Wedeli to play this
instrument. At the age of 12, he took up the guitar, too. He grew up into a
technically brilliant and artistically radiant musician. Yet it is his
seemingly effortless, laid-back way of playing his instruments what
establishes him as one of the worlds best and most swinging jazz musicians.
In spite of modelling himself, initially, on the obvious heroes (Stéphane
Grappelli and Django Reinhardt, respectively), Wedeli has developed, on both
his instruments, his own distinct sound and style, having found further
plentiful sources of inspiration in the magnificent Sinti & Roma tradition
of Mediterranean and East European countries.
As for the origins of the acoustic guitarist Sasha Reinhardt, not many words
have to be said, for he is a son of Wedeli Köhler. His tremendous musicality
is genetically granted, yet a great effort is being put in to develop it
further. However (well, at least for the time being), Sasha specialises on
taking on the rôle of a rhythm guitarist. He has developed this to
perfection. This as well as his superb understanding of harmonic structures
and ingenious capability of enhancing these made him to one of the most
esteemed and asked-for rhythm guitarists within the European jazz scene. So,
it is no surprise that he is busy with many bands on stage and in studios.
Another German Sinti clan has brought up a guitar virtuoso Mano
Guttenberger. Born in Stuttgart, he formed himself on the obvious idol,
Django Reinhardt. Nevertheless, he has found his very own style and now
fills the gap between The Legend and the up and coming Sinti stars of
which there are flocks after flocks after flocks. Mano belongs to the great
young talents who definitely will have to be counted with.
The tasteful assortments of their programmes, the distinct sounds of all
individual musicians of the ensemble and their unique soli transform every
one of their performances into an unforgettable musical experience.
Currently, appearances in Shanghai are being negotiated.
