The comet is coming Shabaka Hutchings, saxophone ténor Dan Leavers, synthétiseur Max Hallet, batterie Sixty years after Sun Ra released his debut album, the influence of the late avant garde jazz musician and 'cosmic philosopher' persists. Sun Ra is a clear touchstone for futurists band The Comet is coming. They're formed of saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings (aka King Shabaka), and the two members of Soccer96: synths guy Dan Leavers (aka Danalogue The Conqueror) and drums man Maxwell Hallett (aka Betamax Killer). Formed in 2013 after saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings spontaneously joined funk duo Soccer96 on stage, the trio combines Sun Ra's mythological themes and love of the experimental, whipping up a fusion of jazz, Afrobeat and electronica in an improvisational, intergalactic mash-upstyle, starting with an orthodox jazz sensibility and taking it to the dancefloor. For millennia, humankind has viewed comets as harbingers of doom, portents of change and destruction. The Comet Is Coming are here to recognize these world-altering prophecies and to help us dance like it's the end of the world.

Gewandhausorchester, Riccardo Chailly (Conductor) GewandhausChor, Chor der Oper Leipzig Alexandrina Pendatchanska (soprano), Manuela Custer (alto), Stefano Secco (tenor), Mirco Palazzi (bass) Gioachino Rossini (1792 - 1868) Petite Messe Solennelle Gioacchino Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle was written in 1863, 'the last', the composer called it, of my 'péchés de vieillesse' (sins of old age). For its first performance (1864) Rossini arranged the work with only two pianos and harmonium. Partly for fear that it would be done anyway after his death, Rossini discreetly orchestrated the Petite Messe Solennelle during 1866-67, without losing its candor and subtlety. The resulting version had its first public performance on 28 February 1869, three months after the composer's death. Directed by Michael Beyer Recorded on 2008 at the Leipzig Gewandhaus

Omar Sosa & Yilian Canizares Omar Sosa (piano) Yilian Cañizares (voix, violin), Gustavo Ovalles (percussions) Since leaving Cuba in 1993 and his first albums (Omar Omar and Free Roots, in 1997), Omar Sosa has been on quite a journey. The pianist's thrilling melting pot music is rooted in his Afro-Cuban background, jazz, hip hop, electro, world music and Yoruba spirituality. He formed an incredible trio with Paolo Fresu and Trilok Gurtu to visit us in 2016 for his thirtieth album (Eros). Following Transparent Water bottled with Seckou Keita's kora and the faithful Cuban percussionist Gustavo Ovalles, the Es:sensual (2018) escape with the NDR Bigband and Jacques Morelenbaum, the pianist in white is back with the singer and violinist Yilian Cañizares (born in Havana, based in Switzerland). They've just recorded Agua together, another album devoted to water and specifically Oshun, the goddess of love and spirit of rivers. Something special was sparked with Yilian who came into the public eye with two vibrant albums (Ochumare and Invocacíon). Omar Sosa: 'Agua reflects our traditions, our emotions and our nostalgia. I'm 53, Yilian is 35, and together we create meditative music that exudes modesty, peace and dignity. No gimmicks! Everyone thinks that Cuban music is fabulous and should make you want to dance but Cuba has so much more to offer.' Recorded on July 08, 2019 at Jazz à Vienne TV Director, Mikaël Favard

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.

Anne Paceo, Bright Shadows Anne Paceo, drums, voix Tony Paeleman, keyboard Christophe Panzani, saxophone Pierre Perchaud, guitar Florent Matéo, voice Ann Shirley, voice With Bright Shadows, Anne Paceo seems resolutely determined to pursue her melodic and sound explorations based on voices and electronics, playing therefore in between the frontiers of musical genres. She is joined this time by two delicate and unclassifiable voices (Florent Mateo and Ann Shirley) and by three faithful and precious companions (Pierre Perchaud, Christophe Panzani et Tony Paeleman).

Rifflet, Irabagon, Boisseau, Black Rebellion(s) Sylvain Rifflet, saxophone, composition, Jon Irabagon, saxophone, composition, Sébastien Boisseau, contrebasse, Jim Black,batterie Playlist 'Jean Moulin', Sylvain Rifflet 'Greta T. ' , Sylvain Rifflet ' Olympe ' , Sylvain Rifflet ' Factory Girl ' - Trad. Irlandais 'The Adults in the room ' , Jon Irabagon ' Paul Robeson ', Sylvain Rifflet & Jon Irabagon Pour le 30ème festival Banlieues Bleues, Sylvain Rifflet et Jon Irabagon avaient créé une passionnante célébration de la musique de Moondog. Les voici à nouveau réunis, au sein d'un quartet exceptionnel (avec Jim Black et Sébastien Boisseau) avec une nouvelle idée fixe: explorer un thème plutôt qu'un compositeur, quitte à se laisser surprendre. C'est dans l'histoire et l'actualité qu'ils se sont inspirés, d'Olympe de Gouges à Emma Gonzales, des droits civiques à la justice climatique, à la recherche de grands discours de rébellion(s) à mettre en sons, pour souffler dans leurs saxophones comme sur des braises... Recorded on April 3, 2019 at the Banlieues Bleues festival TV Director, Arthur Riflet
