Cyrille Aimée je francúzska jazzová speváčka s americkou kariérou. Vyhrala súťaže Montreux Jazz Festival Competition a Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Competition, a bola finalistkou Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. New York Times označil Aimée ako zmes Michaela Jacksona a Sarah Vaughan, ktorá stojí jednou nohou v tradíciách, druhou v súčasnom zvuku. Zažiarila po boku legiend ako David Sanborn, Wynton Marsalis, alebo Christian McBride, ale aj sólo iba so svojim spevom a looperom.

This year's Jazz Days will feature Richard Galliano with his current New York Tango Trio, with whom he plays pieces from the repertoire of his friend Astor Piazzola, supplemented by his own compositions.
