      • Con Brio - Jazz a Vienne

        Con Brio; Ziek McCarter, vocal; Brendan Liu, trumpet; Marcus Stephens, saxopone; Benjamin Andrews, guitar; Patrick Glynn, keyboard; Jonathan Kirchner, bass; Andrew Laubacher, percussion; Seven musicians formed Con Brio in 2003 with the same passion for the Bay Area's signature funk and psychedelic soul. San Francisco is where Sly and The Family Stone, Tower Of Power, The Headhunters and Darondo flourished. Con Brio produced their first EP, Kiss The Sun, in 2015 and are already famous on the West Coast for their electric concerts and Ziek McCarter's velvety vocals. After touring the US and Europe alongside veterans Galactic and Fishbone, the Californians headed to the studio to put their buzzing live energy on record in 2016. The result is called Paradise, an album in which 'We tried to create a narrative arc in the same way as we link tracks when we play live,' says McCarter. Con Brio has set the stages at the top US festivals Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Summerfest on fire. A good omen. Recorded on 2017, July 13th at the Jazz Festival in Vienne; TV Director, Nicolas Micha (84 min)

      • Guillaume Perret - Jazz a Vienne

        Guillaume Perret; Guillaume Perret, saxophone, machines; The saxophonist from Annecy (born in 1980) racked up the pressure on the contemporary jazz scene (from 2009) with his group The Electric Epic. Three years later and John Zorn himself described it as 'a whirlwind of emotion' and released the extravert, panoramic and electric fusion on his Tzadik record label. It was an explosion of sound with funky beats and quirky harmonies blending metal, electro, Africa, psychedelia and the hot wind of free style. After two incredible albums with Electric Epic, Guillaume Perret is going it alone with his new album Free (2016). Perret's sense of solitude is comparable to Deleuze's opening to Mille Plateaux: 'Since there were many of all of us, there were already too many people.' You can spot the almost symphonic ramped-up saxophone and the deafening rhythmic loops that make Guillaume Perret multiple, all-encompassing and so spectacular. Recorded on 2017, July 13th at the Jazz Festival in Vienne; TV Director, Nicolas Micha (74 min)

      • Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah - Jazz a Vienne

        Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah; Christian Scott, trumpet, Reverse Flugel, Sirenette; Lawrence Fields, piano and keyboard; Max Moran (b); Mike Mitchell, percussion; Elena Pinderhughes, flute; Weedie Braimah, drums; 27 year old Christian Scott embodies the new generation of New Orleans trumpeters, a seminal dynasty that started with the legendary King Oliver and Louis Armstrong and continued with Wynton Marsalis, Terence Blanchard and Nicholas Payton. The trumpeter trained at Berklee College of Music in Boston and his warm tone and unusual round notes are instantly recognisable. After working with McCoy Tyner, Prince, Marcus Miller, Eddie Palmieri, Mos Def, Thom Yorke and Solange Knowles, the musician from Crescent City is now the pin-up boy for jazz fusion. His grandfather is the iconic Big Chief Donald Harrison Sr. who managed four tribes of Black Indians (Christian actually started out in one in 1989). The Louisiana trumpeter's sound straddles hip hop, soul and jazz and he appeared a decade ago with the album Rewind That (2006). He was hit by the full force of Hurricane Katrina and devoted his next record (Anthem, 2007) to portraying the human and cultural disaster. After Live at Newport, he recorded Yesterday You Said Tomorrow in 2010 inspired by the 60s groovy jazz played by artists on the Blue Note record label. Christian Scott is one of a long line of Louisiana artists who have been reinventing jazz music for over a century. Recorded on 2017, June 30th at the Vienne Jazz Festival; TV Director, Fabien Raymond (60 min)

      • Keziah Jones - Jazz a Vienne

        Keziah Jones; Keziah Jones, vocal, guitar; Joel Grant, bass; Joshua McKenzie, percussion; Keziah Jones was born into a wealthy family in 1968 in Lagos, Nigeria. He was sent to school in England at the age of 8 and he taught himself to play the piano and guitar in London. He gradually created a stunning rhythmic blend of smooth funk, Hendrix-style psychedelia, pure Ikeja reggae and Yoruba harmonies. He called it BluFunk. Keziah Jones hung out English pubs in central London before heading to Paris where he was spotted in the underground in 1991. The album Blufunk Is a Fact and the track Rhythm is Love were international hits. After venturing through the desert of the mid-90s, he struck gold in 2003 with his fourth album Black Orpheus then the unstoppable Nigerian Wood (2008). Keziah completed an ambitious double album in 2013 flitting between Los Angeles, Spain and his kingdoms in London and Lagos. The dandy fighter is well and truly back to win over his audience.

      • Quincy Jones at Jazz a Vienne

        QUINCY JONES - NEW GENERATION at Jazz a Vienne; Quincy Jones feat. Alfredo Rodriguez, Nikki Yanofsky, Andreas Varady, Justin Kauflin; Quincy Jones is a monument of popular music. Over the past five decades, the trumpeter (who was already studying with Clark Terry at the age of 13) became a world-famous arranger, composer and producer. This summer he is presenting his new discoveries: 'New Generation by Quincy Jones'. They include young Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodriguez who was introduced to him at Montreux in 2006. His second album, 'The Invasion Parade', was co-produced by Quincy. Twenty-year-old Canadian singer Nikki Yanofsky presents 'Little Secret', her second opus produced by Quincy. She also worked with Herbie Hancock whose 'Watermelon Man' was clearly an inspiration for her single 'Something New'. Slovak (and Gipsy) guitarist Andreas Varady is right on the heels of his idol George Benson. Also self-taught, he was noticed by Quincy at Montreux in 2012. His second album, co-produced by David Foster and Quincy is being released this year. Lastly, blind piano virtuoso Justin Kauflin comes to Vienna to present his album 'Introducing Justin Kauflin'. Recorded in Théâtre Antique de Vienne on 3 July 2014 (121 min)
