Self-taught, it was by listening to the recordings of Art Blakey or Max Roach that he perfected his technique of drum playing, even though he was working as a technician at the National Radio of Nigeria. His destiny took a new turn when in 1964 he made the acquaintance of Fela Kuti, firstly as part of the Koola Lobitos, then as conductor of Africa 70 where he developed a new language known as the Afrobeat, a mixture of Yoruba rhythms, of funk and of revolutionary themes. With Fela Kuti, Tony would append his rhythmic signature to around twenty albums, a unique manner of drawing out the rhythms with caressing energy, but which is fantastically efficient. For the rest of his career, Tony would spend it remaining faithful to the original Afrobeat and a multidirectional emancipation leading him through jazz, Dub music and international Pop.

José James José James (voice, guitar) Marcus Machado (guitar) Aneesa Strings (bass, voice) Aaron Steele (drums) Since bursting onto the international scene a little over a decade ago, José James and his honey-sweet voice are still as bewitching. The Minneapolis artist admits to being inspired by Marvin Gaye, the producer Flying Lotus and John Coltrane for his stylish blend of what makes up Great Black Music. Flitting between raw soul, soul folk, hip hop and jazz, James is in the microcosm of vocalists capable of keeping the crossover created by Ray Charles in the 50s alive. His first album (The Dreamer, 2008) pays tribute to Martin Luther King. The next one, Blackmagic, features the beatboxer Taylor McFerrin. His fourth album (in the meantime he recorded with Junior Mance, Chico Hamilton, Flying Lotus and the pianist Jef Neve), No Beginning No End, is on Blue Note. The more soulful than ever singer is back with Lean On Me (2018). After leaning on Billie Holiday and John Coltrane, this time he pays tribute to the living legend of American pop and the immense soulman Bill Withers. There are twelve unforgettable tracks by Withers, who celebrates his 80th birthday in July, produced by Don Was and recorded by a dream band: bassist Pino Palladino, Kris Bowers (fabulous Rhodes on the cover of Ain't No Sunshine), Brad Allen Williams and Nate Smith.

Mc Coy Tyner trio 'Echoes with a Friend' McCoy Tyner, piano Geri Allen, piano Craig Taborn, piano Gerald Cannon, doublebass Francisco Mela, drums Compositions by McCoy Tyner: Hope Celestial Chant Peresina You thaught my heart to sing Fly with the mind Blues on the corner One of the great stylists in the history of jazz, McCoy Tyner developed his own musical language alongside John Coltrane. His exuberant, percussive and powerful style has influenced many generations of pianists: at the age of seventy-seven, McCoy Tyner still tours America but rarely crosses the Atlantic. For this unmissable concert in Paris, he is joined by two exceptional pianists, his nineteen-year-old daughter Geri Allen, already known as a leader (with Paul Motian and Charlie Haden) and as a sideman in Steve Coleman's Five Elements, and Craig Taborn who, at forty-seven, has become one of the most thought-provoking and progressive members of the New York avant-garde.
