      • Dave Holland, Zakir Hussain & Chris Potter - Jazz in Marciac

        Zakir Hussain (tabla); Chris Potter (saxophone); Dave Holland (double bass); The Indian composer and percussionist Zakir Hussain is THE tabla player of his generation. The tabla is a percussion instrument from the north of India which does indeed give rhythm to the musician's compositions as much when he is performing solo as here when he is accompanied by the bass player Dave Holland or the tenor saxophonist Chris Potter. Considered as a national treasure in India, this artist accrues performances with no less than 150 concerts per year and a career which began at 12 years of age! Perhaps the most impressive virtuoso of the tenor saxophone according to Michel Contat of Télérama, Chris Potter comes from the generation of saxophonists who came to the fore during the course of the 1990's alongside Joshua Redman, James Carter, Chris Cheek and Seamus Blake. Very quickly, this native of Chicago attracted attention because of his succulent tenor sound and a very personal manner of constructing his solos, imposing himself as a reference amongst his peers. Dave Holland's class! This majestic double bass with a round sound. A self-taught double bass player whose atypical manner of playing and magnificent sound were quickly noticed by a certain Miles Davis. A great composer as well. A great leader too.Together with Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Stan Getz or heading up his own groups, the Brit could never be happy with the minimum. Recorded at Jazz in Marciac Festival (Circus top), on July 28, 2018; TV Director, Jean-Marc Birraux (59 min)

      • Hugh Coltman - Jazz in Marciac

        Hugh Coltman (voice); Frédéric Couderc (baritone clarinet); Jérôme Etcheberry (trumpet); Jerry Edwards (trombone); Didier Havet (soubassophone); Freddy Koella (guitar); Gael Rakotondrabe (piano); Raphael Chassin (drums); Heard in the company of the pianist Eric Legnini on an album where he was simply a guest, Hugh Coltman rapidly broke the barrier of confidentiality to gain access to the the antechamber of notoriety. His latest hour of glory (for the time being), was his allegorical project based on the repertoire of Nat King Cole, the historic crooner and pianist. The voice of this Brit possesses that full masculinity which characterises his dedicatee, but it carries with it a bit of spleen, a sort of Baudelairian charm which the language of Shakespeare makes even more palpable...A confirmation eagerly awaited in Marciac this summer with his new album 'Who's happy?'. With drums which dance just like in one of those legendary burials in New Orleans, brass saturated with soul, guitars mixing up all the blues and all the folk... Hugh Coltman treated himself to a sublime backdrop for eleven songs in which his warm 'been through it all' voice can be heard. He is a conoisseur in human emotions, always charitable towards the evening's lover, the lost soul at dawn or the forlorn in the blazing sunshine. Recorded at Jazz in Marciac Festival (Circus top), on July 31, 2018; TV Director, Jean-Marc Birraux (60 min)

      • Manu Katché, Richard Bona, Mike Stern, Niels Lan Doky

        Mike Stern (guitar); Niels Lan Doky (piano); Richard Bona (bass); Manu Katché (drums); The Cameroonian international artist Richard Bona at first became known as a bass player in the company of jazz musicians before beginning a career as a singer and composer in 1999. He interprets his own songs and now has more than half a dozen albums under his belt. Jazz Grand Prix winner of the SACEM, Richard Bona never cheats, but then, he doesn't need to. For those who may be unaware, Mike Stern is one of the greatest jazz-rock guitarists, and has been for more than twenty years now. Pupil of Pat Metheny, he was at first spotted by Billy Cobham and then by Miles Davis at the beginning of the 1980's, he was then taken on by Jaco Pastorius and an active member of 'Steps Ahead' with Danny Sanborn before starting out on a promising solo career. The drummer and percussionist Manu Katché has been for some thirty years one of the most sought after musicians at an international level on the jazz, rock and pop scenes. He became known in 1986 thanks to his participation in the album 'So' by Peter Gabriel and since then has been performing non-stop in groups or for recordings, as leader or as sideman. Whatever the context he demonstrates his magnificent technique. Recorded at Jazz in Marciac Festival (Circus top), on August 6, 2018; TV Director, Jean-Marc Birraux (60 min)
