Avishai Cohen quartet - D'jazz Nevers
Avishai Cohen quartet @ D'Jazz Nevers; Avishai Cohen, trumpet; Yonathan Avisahi, piano; Yoni Zelnik, bass; Jonathan Black, drums; Dream Like a child, Into the Silence; Quiescence; Behind the broken glass; Bill Evans has two incarnations, as a pianist and a saxophonist. So has Avishai Cohen, a bass player and, tonight, a trumpeter. His musical friendships are long standing. For a decade now, he has been playing with pianist Yonathan Avishai, and hooked up with Nasheet Waits as soon as he arrived in New York from Israel in the 90's. His beard may be on the wild side, but his sound on the trumpet is one of the purest you can hear today. His first album for ECM, 'Into the Silence', was composed six months after Cohen's father died. 'Into the Silence' is about absence, a pregnant silence, deeply intimate, which does not preclude a sense of revolt, rich with vital energy. On four consecutive years, Cohen was voted 'Rising Star' in the 'trumpeter' category by DownBeat, the reference American jazz magazine. An absolute must. Recorded on November 11th at the festival D'Jazz Nevers (Nevers, France) - (Maison de la Culture, Philippe Genty hall); TV Director, Samuel Thiebaut (56 min)

A fiasco! No danger of this with the Magnetic Ensemble. They turned the Maison de la Culture into a proper dance floor. No beatbox for Antonin Leymarie's quintet. Why use one when you can do so much better yourself? Techno has not been very popular with jazzmen, largely for its lack of flexibility (a rigid tempo, a uniformity of sound). The Magnetic Ensemble picks up the challenge and demonstrates brilliantly that techno can be human, very human. Prepare yourself for a technoid trance, slow, progressive, polyrhythmic, irresistible, wild, frenzied. This music is made for movement! Recorded on November 12th at the festival D'Jazz Nevers (Nevers, France) - (Maison de la Culture, hall); TV Director, Samuel Thiebaut (50 min)

Meyer, Writing Ground by Alonzo King. Maison de la Danse de Lyon
MEYER and WRITING GROUND; Two choreographies by Alonzo King; Lines Ballet; MEYER; Original music by Edgar Meyer; Lights by Axel Morgenthaler; Costumes by Robert Rosenwasser; WRITING GROUND; Sacred music from the Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Tibetan traditions; Lights by Axel Morgenthaler; Costumes and sets by Robert Rosenwasser; Alonzo King founded the Alonzo King Lines Ballet in 1982. 31 years later, it has become one of the world's most prestigious companies. Alonzo King is a great admirer of classical ballet, in which he sees a wonderful science of movement. To this virtuoso technique, he brings a physical, muscular sensuality, an almost feline fluidity refined to the point of pure esthetic pleasure. Meyer, his last creation, was premiered on the 30th anniversary of the company. Written in collaboration with American composer and bass player Edgar Meyer, the music brings purpose and rhythm to bodies and movement. Writing Ground draws its inspiration from the words of writer Colum McCann. In this piece, Alonzo King explores the wealth of traditional music from the Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Tibetan traditions. His choreography becomes a language, at once poetic and electrifying. Recorded at the Maison de la Danse in Lyon, 29 November 2013; Directed by Denis Caiozzi (86 min)
