Roberto Fonseca ABUC & Special Guests Roberto Fonseca, piano, keyboard, vocal Eliades Ochoa, vocal, guitar Daymé Arocena, vocal Ucha, vocal Javier Zalba, saxophone, flute, clarinet Jimmy Jenks, saxophone Matthew Simon, trumpet Ramses 'Dinamite' Rodriguez, drums Adel Gonzalez, percussion Yandy Martinez, Electric & acoustic bass Ariel Gustavo Vigo Muniz, saxophone The 40-something star of Cuban jazz (born in Havana in 1975) with nine albums under his belt (the last is Ubuc) and former pianist for the Buena Vista Social Club is a hero of new musica habanera. The piano and percussion maestro (he started out as a drummer) studied music for a long time in Havana. Meeting the saxophonist Javier Zalba from the band Irakere inspired Fonseca to explore alternative music such as Keith Jarrett or Herbie Hancock and traditional beats. He began blending vibrant Cuban rhythms with Santeria's African roots, classical music and jazz ('Yo', 2012). Roberto Fonseca is now seen as an icon of Latin jazz and a potential heir to Chucho Valdes. After a poignant duet with the Mali singer Fatoumata Diawara (2014), the pianist is back with Eliades Ochoa, one of the latest figures in the Buena Vista Social Club and the best-known Cuban vocalist on the scene. He's also joined by 25 year old Daymé Arocena, a singer who blends traditional rumba, jazz, soul and Yoruba culture. Recorded on 2017, July, 7th at the Jazz Festival in Vienne TV Director, Nicolas Micha

Jowee Omicil - Let's Bash Jowee Omicil, saxophone, flute, clarinet, vocals Jonathan Jurion, piano, keyboard Just Wody Cereyon, bass guitar Tilo Berthelot; drums Jowee Omicil - a multi-instrumentalist who is like no one else - was born in Montreal in 1977 between the Haitian and Quebec communities. After living within a rich New York musical fabric, he splits his life between Miami and Paris. Fed by the playing of his masters - John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter or Kenny Garrett - his nomad jazz mixing Creole roots to Hip-Hop, gospel, soul and world folklores renews itself according to his encounters. Regarding 'Let's Bash', his new project, it is both a war cry and a love declaration that hide a great act of faith: 'I want jazz to become popular again'!

Jokers Vincent Peirani : accordion, accordina Federico Casagrande : guitar Ziv Ravitz : drums After many collaborations in duo (with Émile Parisien, Michel Portal, Michael Wollny, François Salque) or within his quintet, Living Being, Vincent Peirani wanted to embark on another form of orchestration, that of the trio. With the Italian guitarist Federico Casagrande, who has been living in Paris for many years, and Ziv Ravitz, an Israeli drummer who lives in New York, he forms a hybrid trio, guitar, drums, accordion, in which each musician can take the place of another, to become, by turns, a soloist, a rhythmist, a colourist, and so on. This cosmopolitan formula explores all kinds of music: enigmatic, oneiric, electronic, explosive, colourful, even silent. Everything is permitted and left to the free will of each of the three protagonists. Like the Joker - not so much the fictional super-villain of American comic books as the playing card found in most card decks (the Joker can replace any other card and also be the highest trump) - all three of them have an equal and at the same time complementary role, and they are sometimes in opposition, unpredictable... Contradiction then adds to the trio's soundscape, enriching it even further and affirming its originality. Recorded on January 05, 2021 at the Comptoir Général, Paris TV Director, Nathan Benesty
