Hindi Zahra et Fatoumata Diawara Olympic Café Tour Banlieues Bleues Festival Hindi Zahra, voice Fatoumata Diawara, voice, guitar Yacouba Kone, guitar, keyboards, Sekou Bah, bass Zé Luis Nascimento, drums This new production celebrates a friendship born ten years ago far from the limelight, when these two singers first shared the stage. That was in the early 2000's, before success came. At the time, Hindi Zahra and Fatoumata Diawara often appeared at the Olympic Café, a classic venue for new music, in the Paris district of 'La Goutte d'Or'. The two singers soon made a name for themselves, building bridges between cultures and making modern Africa shine in the world. Today, they revisit their early days, their friendship bringing together inventive folk music and soul.

Extended Hanoi Duo Nguyên Lê, electric and accoustic guitar Ngo Hong Quang, traditional instruments, voice Mieko Miyazaki, koto Paolo Fresu, trumpet Edouard Prabhu, tabals Alex Tran, percussions Hao Nhiem Pham, flute The celebrated French-Vietnamese guitarist Nguyên Lê is a masterful, inventive player who has cultivated a wholly unique voice on the instrument, ranking right up there with Bill Frisell, John Scofield, Mike Stern and Allan Holdsworth in the post-Hendrix world of jazz guitar. He has developed a distinctive sound that draws upon rock, funk and jazz as well as traditional Algerian, Indian and Vietnamese styles. His ethereal and colourful music acts like a powerful detonator which every time creates new and unheard soundscapes. On his latest album he teams up with young traditionalist singer Ngo Hong Quang, on lute, Vietnamese fiddle, Jew's harp, to portray 'the soul of Vietnam' and its quickening evolution. There are jaunty folkish tunes, temple bells and ethereal melodies, and a storm of electric guitars. Nguyên's life-long friend, the famous Italian trumpeter Paolo Fresu adds elegant Miles Davis-like peaks to a powerful, fauvism-coloured fusion of ancient and modern.

The keyboard prodigy plunges frantically into the strings of the acoustic piano and chooses the trio as a formula to revive the repertoire of the pianist with brittle bones, and shows us - if needs be - that jazz is a language that he negotiates with masterly hands (left included). Coulondre elegantly composes and arranges a solar and generous repertoire, equal to the height of genius. Steeped in the creativity and harmony long promoted by Petrucciani, this homage reflects the perfect osmosis between volcanic rhythm and subtle melodies.

Naïssam Jalal, compositions, flute, nay Leonardo Montant, piano Claude Tchamitchian, bass Harmid Drake, battery, drums The flautist continues her search for meaning with a dream quartet to approach the mystical and spiritual side of jazz. From her early days, Naissam Jalal has been oscillating between the West, symbolized by the traverso she studied at the Conservatory, and the East, represented by the ney, which she studied with great masters in Damascus and Cairo. In residence at the Dynamo, she sets a new objective: to integrate improvised modal jazz with non-western traditions, like the Arab dhikr, the Indian raga, and Gnawa trance. A specialist of the genre, drummer and percussionist Hamid Drake immediately recognized in her the ability he himself acquired alongside Don Cherry and Pharoah Sanders. He is now part of the adventure. Recorded on 2017, March 28th at the Dynamo of Banlieues Bleues, Pantin, as part of the 'Banlieues Bleues' Festival TV Director, Gilles Le Mao

In 2009, he began studying jazz piano with Marc Mangen and vibraphone in 2011 with Guy Cabay.

After soul sister Macy Gray, with whom he recorded an album, the ever-inventive saxophonist brings us a brand new body of work inspired by the slam poetry of Saul Williams. DAVID MURRAY tenor saxophone, bass clarinett, ORIN EVANS piano, JARIBU SHAHID bass, NASHEET WAITS drums, SAUL WILLIAMS voice He appears with the Infinity Quartet, named after his early years at the Infinity loft-studio in New York, and with Saul Williams himself. A great choice: over the past fifteen years, the star of the independent film 'Slam' has been standing out among rappers and slam poets with the quality of his writing and the intensity of his performances. His punch lines make him a unique performer - a remarkable poet with a powerful rap-soul voice. In David Murray, who previously worked with writers Amiri Baraka and Ishmael Reed, Williams has found an ideal partner. A match made in heaven.

Pedrito Martinez Live at the Banlieues Bleues 2017 Pedrito Martinez, voice, percussions Edgar Pantoja-Aleman, voice, keyboards Alvaro Benavides, voice, bass Jhair Sala, voice, bongos The most popular Cuban percussionist in New York brings a fresh new take on latin jazz. For a long time, this drummer-and-singer, brought up on Batá drums and the Santeria cult in Havana, was an ardent sideman with Bruce Springsteen, Meshell Ndegeocello and Sting. The following years in residence at a Manhattan restaurant made him the charismatic leader of a fusion quartet. Deeply attached to the Afro-cuban dance and Yoruba prayers of his youth, Pedrito Martinez fuses them with the soul, pop and rock sounds of New York. A heady Afro-cuban mix.

Laurent Coulondre trio 'Michel on my mind' Tribute to Michel Petrucciani Laurent Coulondre, piano, keyboard Jérémy Bruyère, double bass Martin Wangermée, drums Setlist Looking Up (Michel Petrucciani) Laura (Laurent Coulondre) Chorinino (Laurent Coulondre) Les grelots (Eddy Louiss) Michel on my mind (Laurent Coulondre) Brazilian like (Michel Petrucciani) Cantabile (Michel Petrucciani) A new sensation on the French piano scene , Laurent Coulondre pays tribute to one of the musicians who has most marked his career as a musician and jazzman: Michel Petrucciani. The keyboard prodigy plunges frantically into the strings of the acoustic piano and chooses the trio as a formula to revive the repertoire of the pianist with brittle bones, and shows us - if needs be - that jazz is a language that he negotiates with masterly hands (left included). Coulondre elegantly composes and arranges a solar and generous repertoire, equal to the height of genius. Steeped in the creativity and harmony long promoted by Petrucciani, this homage reflects the perfect osmosis between volcanic rhythm and subtle melodies. Recorded on July 18, 2020, Parc du Chateau d'eau, Jazz à Sète TV Director, Samuel Thiebaut

Hindi Zahra et Fatoumata Diawara Olympic Café Tour Banlieues Bleues Festival Hindi Zahra, voice Fatoumata Diawara, voice, guitar Yacouba Kone, guitar, keyboards, Sekou Bah, bass Zé Luis Nascimento, drums This new production celebrates a friendship born ten years ago far from the limelight, when these two singers first shared the stage. That was in the early 2000's, before success came. At the time, Hindi Zahra and Fatoumata Diawara often appeared at the Olympic Café, a classic venue for new music, in the Paris district of 'La Goutte d'Or'. The two singers soon made a name for themselves, building bridges between cultures and making modern Africa shine in the world. Today, they revisit their early days, their friendship bringing together inventive folk music and soul. Recorded on 2017 19th March at the Pôle musical d'Orgemont, Epinay-sur-Seine , as part of the 'Banlieues Bleues' Festival TV Director, Laurent Hasse

Extended Hanoi Duo Nguyên Lê, electric and accoustic guitar Ngo Hong Quang, traditional instruments, voice Mieko Miyazaki, koto Paolo Fresu, trumpet Edouard Prabhu, tabals Alex Tran, percussions Hao Nhiem Pham, flute The celebrated French-Vietnamese guitarist Nguyên Lê is a masterful, inventive player who has cultivated a wholly unique voice on the instrument, ranking right up there with Bill Frisell, John Scofield, Mike Stern and Allan Holdsworth in the post-Hendrix world of jazz guitar. He has developed a distinctive sound that draws upon rock, funk and jazz as well as traditional Algerian, Indian and Vietnamese styles. His ethereal and colourful music acts like a powerful detonator which every time creates new and unheard soundscapes. On his latest album he teams up with young traditionalist singer Ngo Hong Quang, on lute, Vietnamese fiddle, Jew's harp, to portray 'the soul of Vietnam' and its quickening evolution. There are jaunty folkish tunes, temple bells and ethereal melodies, and a storm of electric guitars. Nguyên's life-long friend, the famous Italian trumpeter Paolo Fresu adds elegant Miles Davis-like peaks to a powerful, fauvism-coloured fusion of ancient and modern. Recorded on May 25th 2017 at Like a Jazz Machine Festival, Dudelange, Luxembourg TV Director, Samuel Thiebaut

Lucky Peterson, tribute to Jimmy Smith Lucky Peterson (organ, lyric) Nicolas Fomer (trumpet) Kekyn Crapp (guitar) Ahmad Compaoré (drums) Twelve years after the death of Jimmy Smith, Lucky Peterson, pays a tribute to the master of the Hammond organ.' My father brought me up on blues before I could even walk, and I played the organ before having learnt to speak.'Lucky Peterson, The precocious, classy little baby's bottle was thrown into music as soon as he was born.To this die-hard blues man, who is the guardian of the flame, he was able to add a well-chosen dose of groove. There is no doubt that it was a suitable way to honour Jimmy Smith, who was a reference in the realm of jazz soul and with whom he had exchanged in his youth. Finally this dive into history reminds us how much the hymns of the 1950's and 1960's remain incredibly sensual, enough to encourage the choir of a church to dance... Recorded on March 31st 2018 at the 'Espace Paul Eluard, Stains, Banlieues bleues festival TV Director, Guillaume Dero

Naïssam Jalal Live at Banlieues Bleues 2017 Naïssam Jalal feat. Hamid Drake, Quest of invisible F. Naïssam Jalal, compositions, flute, nay Leonardo Montant, piano Claude Tchamitchian, bass Harmid Drake, battery, drums The flautist continues her search for meaning with a dream quartet to approach the mystical and spiritual side of jazz. From her early days, Naissam Jalal has been oscillating between the West, symbolized by the traverso she studied at the Conservatory, and the East, represented by the ney, which she studied with great masters in Damascus and Cairo. In residence at the Dynamo, she sets a new objective: to integrate improvised modal jazz with non-western traditions, like the Arab dhikr, the Indian raga, and Gnawa trance. A specialist of the genre, drummer and percussionist Hamid Drake immediately recognized in her the ability he himself acquired alongside Don Cherry and Pharoah Sanders. He is now part of the adventure. Recorded on 2017, March 28th at the Dynamo of Banlieues Bleues, Pantin, as part of the 'Banlieues Bleues' Festival TV Director, Gilles Le Mao
