      • Steve Kuhn Trio - Jazz A Foix

        Jazz pianist Steve Kuhn was born in Brooklyn in 1938. He started the piano at the age of five. He played with Ornette Coleman, Don Cherryl and Kenny Dorham. In 1961, he joined John Coltrane's quartet, and later started his own ensemble, with Pete La Roca, Scott Lafaro and Steve Swallow. In the mid 50's, he founded the 'All Star Trio' with Ron Carter and Al Foster, inviting brilliant bass players David Finck, Gary Peacock and George Mraz along with drummers Lewis Nash, Billy Drummond (who will play at the Foix festival), Aldo Romano and Bill Stewart. Steve Kuhn's delicate touch and clear articulation are particularly well-suited to intimate pieces. A highly recommended concert, a unique and mesmerizing musical adventure. With Steve Swallow (double bass), Billy Drummond (drums) (53 min)

      • Hadouk Trio at Paris Jazz Festival

        Hadouk Trio Live at the Paris Jazz Festival; In the Parc Floral de Paris, during the festival, underneath a cold summer sun, the vagabonds of Hadouk Trio are back. The audience enters into the dream, feeling delicious new emotions. Loy Erlich, Steve Shehan, Didier Malherbe listen and respond to each other like old friends, it's joyful. We find ourselves swept off our feet, flying over a blue planet. These dancing acoustic sounds seem to come from a world juke box. It all makes perfect sense. We are lifted in the air. It's as if an electrical current connects the shivering public and this trio with a childlike soul. (51 min)

      • Melanie de Biasio - Montreal Jazz Festival

        MELANIE DE BIASIO; This Belgian siren turned the jazz world upside down with her breathtaking album, No Deal. Singer-flautist Mélanie De Biasio summons the suspended pop style of Talk Talk, the erudite blues of Nina Simone, the eminent lyricism of Jeff Buckley and the ambience of Portishead and Pink Floyd, all of it pierced by majestic moments of silence. Her deep, shaded voice seems to have come from Elsewhere, casting an ethereal spell that has earned her the nickname 'the Belgian Billie Holiday.' Magic! Melanie de Biasio (lead); Pascal Paulus (vintage synths); Pascal Mohy (piano); Samuel Gerstmans (double bass) (53 min)

      • El Djoudour (Roots), choreography by Abou Lagraa. Chaillot Theater

        El Djoudour (Roots); Choreography, scenography and artistic direction Abou Lagraa; Artistic and educational advisor Nawal Ait Benalla-Lagraa; Lights Nicolas Faucheux; Music Olivier Innocenti; Voice Houria Aichi; With Nawal Ait Benalla-Lagraa, Lydie Alberto, Ali Brainis, Sarah Cerneaux, Nassim Feddal, Laurent Jocelyn, Oussama Kouadria, Bilel Madaci, Marion Renoux, Fanny Sage, Féroz Sahoulamide, Tanné Uddén, Angela Vanoni, Bernard Wayack Pambe, Zoubir Yahiaoui; El Djoudour, meaning 'Roots', is the story of the choreographer's return to the land of his ancestors. Born and educated in France, Abou Lagraa revisits Algeria, the land his family came from. There he finds an Arab-Muslin culture based on mutual support, generosity and daily rituals where the body - an object of desire, sacred or rejected - is omnipresent. From the reunion with the culture that nourished his identity, he fashions a moving work, accompanied with sacred chants, that was selected for the Opening Night of the Marseille Provence festival of 2013. After Nya in 2010, which won the 'Grand Prix de la Critique', here is another contribution to the cross-Mediterranean Franco-Algerian project Abou Lagraa has been involved in since 2010. With a foot on each shore, Lagraa questions the place of the individual and his desire for freedom in an increasingly multi-cultural society. Steeped in history, and resolutely facing the future. Recorded at the Chaillot National Theater; TV Director Luc Riolon (75 min)

      • Deca Danse by the Batsheva Dance Company. Chaillot Theater

        Deca Dance; Choreography, Ohad Naharin; Dancers of the Batsheva Dance Company; Lights, Avi Yona Bueno (Bambi); Costumes, Rakefet Levi (except Seder Sharon Eyal); Designed for the first time in 2000, the program then celebrated the 10 years worth of creations of Ohad Naharin with the company, offering a striking collage of excerpts from his work. The piece has been steadily reworked and enhanced, and now gives the Israeli choreographer a chance to display his various inspirations - from the most demonstrative movement to very intimate expression - as well as to interrogate the key elements of his work. More than a collection of selected works, it is a genuine recreation whose repertoire provides continuously revisited material. Energetic and sensual, always walking a fine line between body and soul emotions, dance becomes its own theater. An enthralling experience for spectators, caught up in a whirlwind of unforgettable movements, sounds and images delivered by a company at its best. The visionary choreographer also devised the music (Maxim Waratt, Maurice Ravel, Arvo Pärt, Seefeel, Chari Chari, Antonio Vivaldi, Ali Hassan Kuban, Avi Belleli, Dan Makov...), the lights and the scenography. Directed for video by Luc Riolon - 2013 (75 min); Recorded on 2013 at the Théâtre national de Chaillot (74 min)
