Martha Argerich and Stephen Kovacevich, two giants of the piano, seen by their daughter Stéphanie: a family portrait but also film about the relationship between a goddess mother and her three daughters. How to reach the balance between a family life and a demanding artistic career, a musician life and a marriage?

Salif Keita Acoustic at the Carreau du Temple, Paris The 'Golden voice of Africa' was the first artist to perform at the Carreau du Temple, a 'new' Parisian venue, recently reopened after years of neglect. The inaugural concert, recorded on Friday 25 April 2014, was the perfect alliance of diverse cultures, carried by the high and powerful voice of this adoptive 'griot' - Salif Keita is a direct descendent of the Mali Empire's founder, Soundiata Keita - and a historical landmark, elegantly restored. Glass, cast iron, brick and wood have given a new life to this former market hall, whose Eiffel-style nineteenth century metallic structure is so typically Parisian. A historical venue and an artist who has freed himself from tradition and follows his own path. With Salif Keita, lyrics Aminata Danté et Bah Kouyaté, lyrics Mamadou Diabaté, Kora Souleymane Kouyaté, N'goni Guy Nwogang, drums Ousmane Kouyaté, Guitar Playlist : Katolon M'Bamba Tu vas me manquer (I miss you) Yamore Saranfino Namanamani Mandjoue kanté Coucou (Hello) Tekere Recorded at the Carreau du temple on March 2014 TV idrector, Josselin Carré

Michel Portal Quintet feat. Nils Wogram & Lander Gyselinck Michel Portal, clarinets, saxophone, bandoneon Nils Wogram, trombone Bojan Z, piano, keyboard Bruno Chevillon, double bass, bass Lander Gyselinck, drums An original musician, Michel Portal is a celebrity in the classical repertoire (Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, Berg) and contemporary music (Boulez, Stockausen, Berio, Kagel, Globokar). A virtuoso and something of a maverick, Portal is always up for musical experiments, exploring all kinds of fields! A regular guest at Europa Jazz over the past forty years, he has always delivered! This year, he presents a new project, involving Boyan Z and Bruno Chevillon, along with one of the greatest trombone players of today, Nils Wogram (who regularly plays with Bojan Z) and the new prodigy on the European jazz scene, young Belgian drummer Lander Gyselinck (Lab trio, Kris Defoort trio). Recorded on 2017, May 5th 2017 at the Epau Abbey, Europa Jazz Festival TV Director, Josselin Carré

Daniel Melingo (voice, clarinet), Muhammad Habbibi El Rodra Guerra (guitar, saw, chorus), Pedro Onetto (piano, chorus), Patricio Cotella (doube-bass, chorus), Gustavo Paglia (bandoneón), Anne Le Pape (violin), Diego Trosman (guitar tanguera, chorus). Featuring: Juliette, Vinicio Capossela, Andrés Calamaro Melingo with guests Juliette - Vinicio Capossela - Naissam Jalal live at the Festival d'Ile de France But who is Melingo? 
 Is he the Argentinian re-incarnation of Tom Waits or Nick Cave? The cheeky and dreamy voice from the suburbs of Buenos Aires? An errant rock tanguero with a penchant for poetry and freedom? 
 Probably a little bit of all this... As an artist he is definitely a maverick, a radical whose music reinvents a surrealist world.

New Orleans, Street Jazz & Dirty Rap Documentary by Samuel Petit New Orleans is like no other city in the United States. Proud of its French past, its heart beats to the rhythm of jazz - the city even gave its name to a specific style of jazz. Director Samuel Petit follows Rusty Lazer, a DJ and producer of 'bounce music' - a local style of hip hop -, members of the legendary Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and Trombone Shorty, a musician who has become a symbol of the city's new musical tradition. They tell of the scars of a community deeply wounded by hurricane Katrina and of the way its individual members try to overcome the trauma. Recorded on 2013

A fiasco! No danger of this with the Magnetic Ensemble. They turned the Maison de la Culture into a proper dance floor. No beatbox for Antonin Leymarie's quintet. Why use one when you can do so much better yourself? Techno has not been very popular with jazzmen, largely for its lack of flexibility (a rigid tempo, a uniformity of sound). The Magnetic Ensemble picks up the challenge and demonstrates brilliantly that techno can be human, very human. Prepare yourself for a technoid trance, slow, progressive, polyrhythmic, irresistible, wild, frenzied. This music is made for movement! Recorded on November 12th at the festival D'Jazz Nevers (Nevers, France) - (Maison de la Culture, hall) TV Director, Samuel Thiebaut

The Lisbon Piece Choreography by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker Music Thierry de Mey Rosas Ballet The Lisbon Piece is a tableau for classical ballet and percussions. Thierry De Mey, who composed some of the music, is a longtime collaborator of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's. 'Thierry has the same obsession for structure as I do', she says. 'He comes from the cinema and knows how to build bridges between the arts.' Anne Teresa has not done much classical ballet in her work as a choreographer, even though she admires the language and trained at the Mudra school. The Lisbon Piece is a particular case in the history of Rosas. A challenge. The dancers, wearing pointe shoes, move within a soundscape generated by an instrumentarium of which Thierry De Mey has the secret (paper drums, metallic sounds, whispers...) Recorded at Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie, Brussells on 2002 TV Director Pierre Barré and Thierry Loreau

Gregory Porter at the International Jazz Festival of Montréal 2016 Gregory Porter's musical awakening came upon hearing his mother's Nat King Cole records as a child - Porter would later write a show in homage to the singer. After seeing his dreams of professional football thwarted by a major injury, the California-born artist turned to music. With the help of his mentor, the multi-instrumentalist and composer Kamau Kenyatta, Porter honed his skills in San Diego jazz clubs before landing a role in the musical It Ain't Nothing But the Blues. His resume also includes a collaboration with famed flutist Hubert Laws. A gifted songwriter, he penned most of the jazz and soul-oriented material appearing on his first albums, Water (2010), Be Good (2012) and Liquid Spirit (2013), winner of a Grammy for Best jazz vocal album.

Fresh from his presence at Barack Obama's second inauguration ball, Masekela will present his latest project at Parc Floral, a celebration of his late wife, South African diva Miriam Makeba.
