Kamilya Jubran and Sarah Murcia at Au Fil Des Voix Festival
Kamilya Jubran (voice and oud); Sarah Murcia (double bass); After several collaborations over the years, Palestinian singer/oud player Kamilya Jubran and French bass player Sarah Murcia join their multifaceted talents in a new project entitled 'Nhaoul' ('Loom' in Arabic). A subtle dialogue between strings and poetry, leading to a common discourse, ideally suited to Kamilya's moving voice. Sarah is familiar with the quarter tones in oriental music while Kamilya is totally at home with the most complex rhythmical structures. On stage, they are accompanied by a string trio (cello, viola and violin) adding a sophisticated rhythmical element. The choice of texts and songs is equally interesting and includes Bedouin poetry from the Sinai and Negev deserts, poems by contemporay Arab writers (Hassan Najmi, Salman Masalha) and a magnificent song by the master of popular Egyption music from the beginning of the century, Sayed Darwich, one of Kamilya's main references. Kamilya and Sarah long-established musical friendship brings us nothing but delight. Recorded at 'Au Fil des Voix' in 2013 - Directed by Giuseppe De Vecchi - Duration: 56min (56 min)

Archie Shepp, musical direction, saxophones; Ambrose Akinmusire, trumpet; Jason Moran, piano; Richard Davis, double bass; Billy Hart, drums; With guests: Marion Rampal, voice; Izidor Leitinger, trumpet; Sébastien Llado, trombone; Jean-Philippe Scali, baritone saxophone; Playlist; Naima - John Coltrane - Arranged by Izidor Leitinger; Cousin Mary - John Coltrane - Arranged by Izidor Leitinger; Blasé - Archie Shepp; Prelude to a Kiss - Duke Ellington; Los Olvidados - Archie Shepp; In 1960, Archie Shepp attended a concert by John Coltrane at the Five Spot, the mythical club on the Lower East Side. Totally fascinated, he decided to pick up the tenor saxophone. Five years later, Shepp - already a reference in the world of free jazz - recorded alongside his hero. The resulting album, 'Ascension', was released in 1966, and remains today one of the great monuments of free improvisation. To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Coltrane's death - at the age of forty - the most Parisian representative of the New York avant-garde pays tribute to the brilliant composer of 'A Love Supreme', with a Franco-American all-star band not unlike that which recorded the revolutionary 'Ascension'. A giant of jazz pays tribute to one of his gods... Recorded on September 3rd 2016 at the Grande Halle of la Villette; TV Director, Frank Cassenti (56 min)
