Con Brio Ziek McCarter, vocal Brendan Liu, trumpet Marcus Stephens, saxopone Benjamin Andrews, guitar Patrick Glynn, keyboard Jonathan Kirchner, bass Andrew Laubacher, percussion Seven musicians formed Con Brio in 2003 with the same passion for the Bay Area's signature funk and psychedelic soul. San Francisco is where Sly and The Family Stone, Tower Of Power, The Headhunters and Darondo flourished. Con Brio produced their first EP, Kiss The Sun, in 2015 and are already famous on the West Coast for their electric concerts and Ziek McCarter's velvety vocals. After touring the US and Europe alongside veterans Galactic and Fishbone, the Californians headed to the studio to put their buzzing live energy on record in 2016. The result is called Paradise, an album in which 'We tried to create a narrative arc in the same way as we link tracks when we play live,' says McCarter. Con Brio has set the stages at the top US festivals Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Summerfest on fire. A good omen. Recorded on 2017, July 13th at the Jazz Festival in Vienne TV Director, Nicolas Micha

Erik Truffaz (trumpet) Marcello Giuliani (bass) Benoît Corboz piano (Fender Rhodes) Marc Erbetta (drums) With special guests Nya (voice) Guillaume Perret (saxophone) The trumpet player of Swiss origin, Erik Truffaz,is one of the first European jazzmen to have successfully approached drum'n'bass. In 1991 he founded a quartet which today is composed of Benoît Corboz (keyboards), Marcello Giuliani (bass) and Marc Erbetta (drums and percussion),he explores electronic jazz-fusion much in the same way as Miles Davis and recorded several albums starting from 1994. After an incursion into into rock at the head of his Ladybird Quartet created in 2001, he returned to the formula which had made him successful. In his world, always deeply influenced by Miles Davis, the stridencies of rock alternate with the poetic respites, the rousing grooves with more calm ballads.

Zakir Hussain (tabla) Chris Potter (saxophone) Dave Holland (double bass) The Indian composer and percussionist Zakir Hussain is THE tabla player of his generation. The tabla is a percussion instrument from the north of India which does indeed give rhythm to the musician's compositions as much when he is performing solo as here when he is accompanied by the bass player Dave Holland or the tenor saxophonist Chris Potter. Considered as a national treasure in India, this artist accrues performances with no less than 150 concerts per year and a career which began at 12 years of age! Perhaps the most impressive virtuoso of the tenor saxophone according to Michel Contat of Télérama, Chris Potter comes from the generation of saxophonists who came to the fore during the course of the 1990's alongside Joshua Redman, James Carter, Chris Cheek and Seamus Blake. Very quickly, this native of Chicago attracted attention because of his succulent tenor sound and a very personal manner of constructing his solos, imposing himself as a reference amongst his peers. Dave Holland's class! This majestic double bass with a round sound. A self-taught double bass player whose atypical manner of playing and magnificent sound were quickly noticed by a certain Miles Davis. A great composer as well. A great leader too.Together with Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Stan Getz or heading up his own groups, the Brit could never be happy with the minimum.

Chlorine Free affirme ici encore plus en profondeur cette alchimie si particulière qui entre electronica, broken beat, jazz-funk avant-gardiste et hip-hop. Le groupe prend pleinement sa place dans ce courant musical refusant toute étiquette rébarbative et en plein essor qui, avec un esprit décloisonné, sait rassembler autour de lui des auditeurs de tous les horizons. Les invités Soweto Kinch et Nya étoffent et enrichissent la palette du groupe. Le groove hip-hop old-school de Chlorine Free porte des textes engagés dans leur troisième opus, entre hymne écolo et appel à prendre en main sa destinée. Recorded on May 11, 2018 at the Grand Auditoire, Like a jazz machine festival, Dudalange, Luxembourg TV Director, Samuel Thiebautt

Shabaka and the Ancestors Shabaka Akua Lumumba Kamau Hutchings (saxophone ténor) Mthunzi Mvubu (saxophone alto) Siyabonga Mthembu (voix) Ariel Zomonsky (Basse) Tumi Mogorosi (batterie) Gontse Makhene (Percussions) Playlist . Nguni (Shabaka Hutchings, Siyabonga Mthembu) . The Sea (Shabaka Hutchings) . The Observer (Shabaka Hutchings, Siyabonga Mthembu) . Joyous ((Shabaka Hutchings) . Natty (Shabaka Hutchings) . Mzwandile (Shabaka Hutchings, Siyabonga Mthembu) . Chik CHIkka (Lykaty Astatke) Refocusing jazz could be Shabaka Hutchings' mantra. The tenor saxophonist recently went to Johannesburg to soak up South African heritage and to surround himself with the country's best musicians. It led to a celebratory, spiritual sound on the vibrant Wisdom of Elders, recorded in just one day in Johannesburg. The music composed by the saxophonist is primitive, spontaneous, and unpredictable. It's infused with drummer Tumi Mogoros's polyrhythmic beats and the hypnotic sounds of singer Siyabonga Mthembu. British Shabaka Hutchings has Barbadian roots. He's been recognized as a key player on the London jazz scene for a few years now. He got noticed when he brought African and Caribbean sounds to Sons Of Kemet and by playing with the electro-cosmic sounds of The Comet Is Coming. Enregistré le 12 juillet 2017 au Montreux Jazz Festival (Montreux Jazz Club) Réalisation, Marc Schütrumpf

Mike Stern (guitar) Niels Lan Doky (piano) Richard Bona (bass) Manu Katché (drums) The Cameroonian international artist Richard Bona at first became known as a bass player in the company of jazz musicians before beginning a career as a singer and composer in 1999. He interprets his own songs and now has more than half a dozen albums under his belt. Jazz Grand Prix winner of the SACEM, Richard Bona never cheats, but then, he doesn't need to. For those who may be unaware, Mike Stern is one of the greatest jazz-rock guitarists, and has been for more than twenty years now. Pupil of Pat Metheny, he was at first spotted by Billy Cobham and then by Miles Davis at the beginning of the 1980's, he was then taken on by Jaco Pastorius and an active member of 'Steps Ahead' with Danny Sanborn before starting out on a promising solo career . The drummer and percussionist Manu Katché has been for some thirty years one of the most sought after musicians at an international level on the jazz, rock and pop scenes. He became known in 1986 thanks to his participation in the album 'So' by Peter Gabriel and since then has been performing non-stop in groups or for recordings, as leader or as sideman. Whatever the context he demonstrates his magnificent technique. Recorded at Jazz in Marciac Festival (Circus top), on August 6, 2018 TV Director, Jean-Marc Birraux

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...

Ornette | Apparitions Antonin Tri Hoangn, Alto saxophone , clarinet, Geoiffroy Gesser, Tenor saxophone , Pierre Borel, Amtp saxophone, Aymeric Avice, trompet, Isabel Sörling, voice, Romain Clerc-Renaud, piano, Keyboard, Thibault Cellier, double bass, Yann Joussein, drums, Elie Duris, drums La musique d'Ornette Coleman a changé le cours des choses. On a parlé de free jazz, mais ' ce n'est pas un autre jazz, c'est une musique autre, créative '. Depuis ses débuts (dans l'ONJ de Daniel Yvinec), Antonin Tri Hoang n'est pas sans évoquer Ornette : même lyrisme tarabiscoté, même goût du dérapage contrôlé. Au lieu d'une dissertation sur l'œuvre, il a proposé des rêves, des ponts évocateurs, ' pas un revival, mais un survival '. Avec, aux manettes, le quartette Novembre et des invités qui maîtrisent à la perfection l'art du zapping et du collage. Ce qui n'est pas sans rappeler John Zorn, un autre grand fils (spirituel) d'Ornette. Recorde on April 19 avril 2016 at Banlieues Bleues, MC93 TV Director, Stéphane Jourdain
