The Sound of New York, Bilal 'The Sound of New York' is the exploration of the musical world of a new generation of artists based in New York City. These musicians hail from different countries, with their own stories and diverse experiences, are giving birth to a new musical wave that takes shape influencing worldwide the artistic scene. It's right in New York today that this impulse is stronger than ever: the sounds come from a deep integration of music of the past and today, interacting with other artistic forms. It's a modern concentration of African-American music influences, including classical and contemporary, as well as more mainstream styles such as Jazz, Hip-Hop, R'B, Rock, etc 10 musicians internationally known will lead us into this world walking along the streets of New York. We will see the places where they live and listen to the music they compose to know their artistic essence. Bilal Sayeed Oliver, better known mononymously as Bilal, is an american singer-songwriter, musician and producer. He is currently artist residing in NY. Between 2001 and 2015, he released 5 albums.

The Banlieues Bleues Festival offers us a chance to discover this major artist during a concert.

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.

Glen Davis Andrews @ Nancy Jazz Pulsations 2015 Glen David Andrews, voix et trombone James Martin, saxophone Jonathan Gross, tuba John Notto, guitare Glen Finister Andrews, batterie Tromboniste de la série de HBO Treme qui traite de la reconstruction de la ville suite à l'Ouragan Katrina et acteur dans la série éponyme de David Simon, le musicien à la personnalité exacerbée et à la voix de stentor dégage une énergie singulière. L'orchestration des cuivres et le jazz traditionnel est bel et bien le milieu dans lequel il a baigné depuis sa plus tendre enfance... A chacune de ses prestations, il revisite les classiques des années 1920 jusqu'à des airs plus récents sur lesquels il va apposer sa touche personnelle avec des textes improvisés. Son funk brut et direct n'est pas sans rappeler celui de son glorieux cousin Troy Andrews alias Trombone Shorty, mais la puissance et l'originalité du personnage transcendent les références. L'enfant du Treme Brass Band a su tracer son propre chemin. Il est aujourd'hui l'un des plus sûrs talents de cette Nouvelle-Orléans qui l'a vu grandir.
