      • Kamasi Washington - Jazz sous les Pommiers

        Kamasi Washington; Kamasi Washington, saxophone tenor; Rickey Washington, Flute / Saxophone soprano; Ryan Porter, trombone; Brandon Coleman, keyboard; Robert Miller, drums; Miles Mosley, double bass; Tony Austin, drums; Patrice Quinn, voice; Kamasi Washigton's apprenticeship is incredible: Lauryn Hill, Raphael Saadiq, Snoop Dog, Kendrick Lamar. So it is not surprising to discover that his triple album 'The Epic' was released in 2015 on the electro and rap and instrumental label Brainfeeder. Respectful to his elders (Dolphy, Coleman, Mingus...) but free of musical clans, the powerful Californian saxophonist, a real phenomenon, assures his singularity on stage. Mixing audiences and generations around a music with an electrifying groove, he takes in all of the heritage of the Great Black Music. Recorded on May 11, 2018 at Jazz sous les Pommiers Festival; Réalisation, Laurent Hasse et Thierry Villeneuve (100 min)

The three musicians explore the entire gamut of jazz, from traditional to modern, with new compositions and unbridled improvisation. Their 'Promises' will be kept. Enregistré le 23 Mai 2017 au Théâtre Municipal de Coutances, Jazz sous les Pommiers; Réalisateur, Thierry Villeneuve (63 min)

      • Flat Earth Society - Südtirol Jazz Festival

        Peter Vermeersch - clarinet; Stefaan Blancke - trombone; Benjamin Boutreur - saxophone; Berlinde Deman - tuba; Luc Van Lieshout - trumpet; Bart Maris - trumpet; Michel Mast - saxophone; Marc Meeuwissen - trombone; Kristof Roseeuw - double bass; Bruno Vansina - saxophone; Peter Vandenberghe - piano, keyboards; Teun Verbruggen - drums, dustbingrooves; Pierre Vervloesem - guitar; Wim Willaert - accordion, keyboards; Tom Wouters - clarinet, vibraphone, vocal; Even in the 20th century, there's a society which claims that the Earth is flat: the Flat Earth Society. The bizarre society was founded in the 19th century in Great Britain and it still believes that pictures taken from space are false. The eponymous 1998 Big Band from Belgium, however, plays anything but flat music. The claim to fame came for this jazz orchestra, founded by artist and clarinettist Peter Vermeersch in 2004, as he and pianist Uri Caine went on tour. In 2006 they released their first CD, 'Psychoscout', followed by their second CD, 'Clear Me, Perverts!' in 2009. A rebel and anti-conformist ensemble with a lot to offer, from faithful adherence to music rules to intoxicating improvisation. (55 min)

      • Polar Bear - Südtirol Jazz Festival

        Sebastian Rochford - drums; Mark Lockheart - saxophone; Pete Wareham - tenor saxophone; Tom Herbert - double bass; John Leafcutter - laptop, controllers; This quintet, led by Sebastian Rochford, occupies a leading position on the London scene. Nominated in 2003 and 2004 for the BBC 'Rising Star' Jazz Award, in 2005 Polar Bear were nominated for the Mercury Prize. Following their excellent album 'Peepers' (2010), the band took a long break, returning to make it onto the Mercury Prize shortlist in 2014 with 'In Each and Every One'. The tracks on this CD are musical slow food, finely spiced and prepared: minimalism and electronics meet funk, free jazz and complex dance rhythms. Their new CD 'Same as You' was actually conceived of as a single piece, finally resulting in six tracks in which the ensemble develop their sound experiments. (52 min)

      • Troyka - Südtirol Jazz Festival

        Troyka; Chris Montague - guitar, loop; Joshua Blackmore - drums; Kit Downes - organ; Troyka are rooted in the jazz tradition and are at the same time hiply contemporary. Atmospheres often change in a single piece, almost to the point of paradox: hard and aggressive guitar riffs mix with gentle keyboard motifs, while composition and improvisation combine as one. This blend of garage rock, jazz improvisations and dance music defies labelling: the band sound like 'King Crimson for the iPod generation,' as the London listings magazine 'Time Out' put it. One thing is for sure: this trio forms part of a generation of young musicians who reject the limits of genre, with the decisive question no longer 'What is it?' but 'Is it good?'. (44 min)

        Dhafer Youssef, Diwan of Beauty And Odd; Dhafer Youssef, oud and voice; Aaron Parks, piano; Ben Williams, bass; Justin Faulkner, drums; Ambrose Akinmusire, trumpet; After the phenomenal success of his previous album 'Birds Requiem', which sold over 50,000 copies, Dhafer Youssef, the master of the oud, an exceptional singer and prolific composer, returns to the concert platform with one of the most anticipated albums of 2016: 'Diwan Of Beauty And Odd'. Dhafer Youssef is definitely one of the most innovative musicians of the decade. An indefatigable explorer, his album 'Diwan Of Beauty And Odd' shows his extraordinary ability to transcend musical genres and experiment with the asymmetry of the off-beat. The result is complex and mesmerising, beautiful and universal. Recorded on April 14th at L'Olympia, Paris; TV director, Laurent Hasse (67 min)
