      • Marc Cary Focus Trio at Pori Jazz Festival

        Marc Cary - keys; Rashaan Carter - bass; Sameer Gupta - drums and tabla; American pianist Marc Cary has been on fire lately, as is evident on his 2013 album 'Four Directions'. In his trio, Cary plays both piano and the keys, and the group's music embodies elements of go-go, hiphop, plus Indian musical culture. As their excellent pair of live albums released in 2008 and 2009 prove, on stage is where this band is at home. In 2013, Cary also released a solo piano album, 'For the Love of Abbey', dedicated to the late jazz vocal great Abbey Lincoln. (52 min)

      • Zara McFarlane at Pori Jazz Festival

        Zara McFarlane just might be one of the new jazz sensations of 2014. At least all signs point to this. Her second album 'If You Knew Her' was released in January and it presents a singer who has truly discovered her own voice. The album was released by Brownswood Recordings, run by the famed British DJ/tastemaker Gilles Peterson. The minimalist compositions and McFarlane's strong voice come together in a stunning way, making the release one of the early highlights of the new musical year. (62 min)

      • 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)

      • Ô Sensei... choreography by Catherine Diverres

        O Sensei... Choreography by Catherine Diverres; Artistic collaboration and scenography by Laurent Peduzzi; Costumes by Cidalia da Costa; Lights by Marie-Christine Soma; With Katja Fleig followed by Catherine Diverres; Music by Seijiro Murayama, Frédéric Chopin, Jean-Sébastien Bach, Keiji Haino, Ingrid Caven; Video by Thierry Micouin; Catherine Diverres met Kazuo Ohno, a master of the Butoh, in the 1980's. It was a life-changing experience for the choreographer. O Sensei is a poetical farewell to the Spanish choreographer Antonia Mercé, also known as La Argentina, an artist whom Kazuo Ohno admired to the highest degree. Alone on stage, Catherine Diverres explores the very essence of movement, in its purest, most evocative form. O Sensei projects an image on a screen, with a few costumes highlighting the tragic and regal style of Catherine Diverres's work. Recorded at the Théâtre National de Chaillot in November 2012. Directed by Luc Riolon (28 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)

      • Roberto Fonseca - Jazz a Vienne

        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 (106 min)

      • Yaron Herman Trio - Jazz a Vienne

        Yaron Herman trio; Yaron Herman, Piano, KIeyboard; Bastien Burger, Bass, Vocal, Keyboard; Ziv Ravitz, drums, electronics; Everyday, his duo with Ziv Ravitz in 2015 and first album for Blue Note, the first disc with songs, felt like a comeback for Yaron Herman. The French-Israeli's latest album, 'Y', is a real melting pot of all his influences. His inspirations are explored with pure elegance be they jazz, post-rock or electro by Sufjan Stevens, Steve Reich or Keith Jarrett. Better still, instead of covering mainstream songs like he used to (from Britney Spears to Radiohead), he's made his own songs with or without vocals, words or choruses. Perhaps we have the Arles Photography Festival (2015) to thank for that along with his encounter with Matthieu Chedid (singer on Saisons Contradictoires), friendship with the bassist from The Do Bastien Burger (co-producer on the album) and his discovery of the young French electro-pop producer Dream Koala (guest on Solaire). Yaron Herman is definitely back. Recorded on 2017, July 4th at the Jazz Festival in Vienne; TV Director, Fabien Raymond (61 min)

      • Amaury faye Trio - Jazz a Vienne

        Amaury faye Trio; Amaury Faye, piano; Louis Navarro, double bass; Théo Lanau, percussion; In keeping with the big piano trios and Big Moe Trio (in 2010), perfected from his Toulouse kingdom, the new project from Amaury Faye tells his story. He takes inspiration from artists on the contemporary New York scene and the latest trends in European jazz. Amaury Faye went to study at Berklee College in Boston with pianist Joanne Brackeen (Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon) and Tia Fuller (Joe Lovano) in 2014. The pianist is a member of the Toulouse-based Initiative H alongside his trio. Their repertoire includes original tracks and cool covers. There's a blend of improvisation and writing, virtuosity and finesse, lyricism and undulating beats (e.g. on the Fender Rhodes). Faye is one to watch on the international piano scene and famous for his talents as both a soloist and composer. Amaury Faye, Louis Navarro and Théo Lanau put the heritage of the past into fuelling the future. Recorded on 2017, July 13th at the Jazz Festival in Vienne; TV Director, Nicolas Micha (31 min)
