Pinocchio Choreography by IIvan Cavallari Music, Enrico Melozzi Conductor, Myron Romanul Set, Edoardo Sanchi Costume, Maria Porro Lights, Jon Buswell Tenor, Jean Christophe Born Opéra national du Rhin ballet Mulhouse symphonic orchestra Once there was a piece of wood... Carved by old carpenter Geppetto, Pinocchio, a cheeky puppet with an unruly nose provokes all around him, as well as his fate. He is dispatched to the land of toys, where donkeys and young boys look alarmingly alike, and finally ends up in the belly of a sea monster... At the end of this initiation journey, his will and courage get the better of his wooden body, and he becomes a real boy. Ivan Cavallari has kept in touch with the child in himself and brings to life the most salient episodes in the puppet's story. The imaginative sets of Edoardo Sanchi and the music of Enrico Melozzi bring a new strength to Carlo Collodi's tale. Recorded at the Opéra National du Rhin January 31st and February 2nd 2014 TV Director, Stéphane Vérité

On stage, Harold Lopez overflows with expression just like everything which characterizes 'feeling' in Cuban music which is savoured with a shot of rum in the ears.

Pura Fé's music is a happy mix of Blues, traditional Indian music and Folk Song. Her moving voice conveys an ancestral message from the Native American world and tells how history unites southern Native and African-Americans. Mathis Haugs's contemporary folk-blues brings to mind Ben Harper and Moriarty. But comparisons are irrelevant, as Mathis has developed his own musical world. This project draws its inspiration from the comic album 'Rouge Camargue' by Jean Vilaine and Michel Faure.

Harold Lopez-Nussa El Viaje Harold Lopez-Nussa, piano Alioune Wade, bass Ruy Adrian Lopez-Nussa, drums, bongos, cajón This prodigious heir to the great Cuban piano school displays his deeply inventive technique, in search of an all-encompassing form of jazz. Over the past ten years and since his first solo album, the virtuoso pianist, who trained at the best music schools in Havana, has made a number of recordings exploring his influences as a classical pianist and his Cuban roots. He is back with a trio, his favourite format, including Senegalese bass player Alioune Wade and his brother on percussions. His remarkable style serves an open form of jazz, more mature and supremely inventive. World class. Recorded on 15 March 2017 at Espace 93, Clichy-sous-Bois, as part of the 'Banlieues Bleues' Festival TV director, Guillaume Dero

Anouar Brahem Blue Maqams Anouar Brahem, oud Dave Holland, double bass Jack DeJohnette, drums Django Bates, piano For more than 25 years, Anouar Brahem has taken his oud all over far off lands. A melodic impressionist and a for ever inspired improvisor, the Tunisian musician has above all toppled the barriers which separate genres.Thanks to him, Arab music and jazz have started a very singular dialogue which approaches the sublime.A conversation between the past and the present, tradition and modernity. Anour Rahem has built up this pacified 'no man's land 'principally on Manfred Eicher's Munich record label ECM to become one of the label's most faithful artists.In the great Pierre Boulez Hall, in the company of the bass player Dave Holland, drummer Jack DeJohnette and the pianist Django Bates, he produces a blend of absolute beauty and of universal value.
