      • Get the blessing - Like a jazz machine Festival

        One of the most original and exciting bands to emerge in years, Get The Blessing was formed by drummer Clive Deamer and bassist Jim Barr, rythm section of trip-hop's legendary band Portishead. Get The Blessing have stormed onto the scene, taking riffs and rhythms from rock, punk and dance music and artfully welding them onto inventive wild jazz improvisations, all colliding in a joyous celebration of sound. With trumpeter Pete Judge and saxophonist Jake McMurchie from Superfurry Animals completing the line-up, Get The Blessing's rocking tunes and snappy arrangements create a genre-bending blend of sounds that is all their own, flirting slyly with jazz while pounding the dancefloor with their 'gloriously powerful sound' (BBC Music Magazine). Get The Blessing wear their jazz credentials lightly but defiantly. The intricate but rock-solid rhythm section forms the gloss that holds Get the Blessing together, with the dual saxophone and trumpet frontline working with the bass to create melodies and harmonies.

      • David Murray Infinity Quartet feat. Saul Williams - Banlieues Bleues

        After soul sister Macy Gray, with whom he recorded an album, the ever-inventive saxophonist brings us a brand new body of work inspired by the slam poetry of Saul Williams. DAVID MURRAY tenor saxophone, bass clarinett, ORIN EVANS piano, JARIBU SHAHID bass, NASHEET WAITS drums, SAUL WILLIAMS voice; He appears with the Infinity Quartet, named after his early years at the Infinity loft-studio in New York, and with Saul Williams himself. A great choice: over the past fifteen years, the star of the independent film 'Slam' has been standing out among rappers and slam poets with the quality of his writing and the intensity of his performances. His punch lines make him a unique performer - a remarkable poet with a powerful rap-soul voice. In David Murray, who previously worked with writers Amiri Baraka and Ishmael Reed, Williams has found an ideal partner. A match made in heaven. (55 min)

        Charles Lloyd & Jason Moran duo - Jazz sous les pommiers festival 35th edition; With; Charles Lloyd, saxophone; Jason Moran, piano; A lesson of serenity by Charles Lloyd... who fits today as a giant in the exclusive world of jazz.

The poetic stroll revisits in a very intimate way a repertoire that mixes Ellington, Gershswin, Strayhorn, the Beach Boys and Dylan, with personal compositions, including a suite in memory of his great-grandmother, sold to a slave trader at the age of ten years. About this repertoire, Lloyd says: 'Music has always been for me both inspiration and consolation. The sentiments I would like to share with those who listen to me. '; Recorded on May 6th 2016, at the Municipal Theatre of Coutances; TV direction by Thierry Villeneuve (85 min)
