      • Amaury Faye Trio - Jazz á 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)

      • Yaron Herman Trio - Jazz á 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)

      • Emile Parisien, Vincent Peirani - 'File under Zawinul' - Jazz á Vienne

        Emile Parisien et Vincent Peirani; File under Zawinul; Emile Parisien, Saxophone soprano; Vincent Peirani, Accordion; Manu Codjia, Guitar; Paco Séry,Drums; Linley Marthe, Bass; Mino Cinelu, Percussion; Aziz Samahoui, Vocal, percussion; Tony Paeleman, Fender Rhodes; 2017 is the 10th anniversary of Joe Zawinul's death, the high priest of jazz keyboardists. A fitting and powerful tribute to him comes from saxophonist Emile Parisien and partner in crime Vincent Peirani on the accordion. The two Frenchmen have brought their fellow Austrian 'groove' explorers on board: Paco Sery and Linley Marthe, respectively drummer and bassist in the Zawinul Syndicate (his last group) and West Indian percussionist Mino Cinelu who performed on the last albums for the game-changing Weather Report. The idea behind the File Under Zawinul project came from saxophonist Emile Parisien's time with the Syndicate, a band formed in tribute to the Viennese pianist. Parisien met the vibrant guitarist Manu Codjia and sound architect Tony Paeleman on his Fender Rhodes at the Syndicate who are both to join File Under Zawinul. The Moroccan singer and percussionist Aziz Samahoui who performed with Joe for over 10 years will also be part of the international all-star Zawinul line-up. Recorded on 2017, July 04th at the Jazz Festival in Vienne; TV Director, Fabien Raymond (60 min)

      • Guillaume Perret - Jazz á 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.

      • Con Brio - Jazz á 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.
