      • Ambrose Akinmusire Quartet - Jazz á Vienne

        Ambrose Akinmusire Quartet; Ambrose Akinmusire (trumpet); Sam Harris (piano), Harish Raghavan (bass guitar), Justin Brown (drums); This young trumpet player (aged 36), an American of Nigerian heritage, has an impeccable background (from Berkeley High School to the first prize in the Thelonious Monk competition in 2007), but is much more than an impressive academic CV. He aims to create a personal world 'dedicated to beauty'. Akinmusire was born and raised in Oakland, California and first attracted the attention of the saxophonist Steve Coleman, who asked him to join Five Elements. Ambrose Akinmusire was then 19. He released his first album, 'Prelude (To Cora)', and moved to New York, where he played with Vijay Iyer, Aaron Parks, Esperanza Spalding and Jason Moran. In 2010, he worked with Terri Lyne Carrington, Ron Carter, Wallace Roney, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Everyone could see that this creative and surprising trumpet player would be a name to watch in contemporary jazz. This view was shared by the Blue Note label, who signed him up. The albums 'When the Heart Emerges Glistening' and 'The Imagined Savior is Far Easier to Paint' were released in 2011 and 2014. The artist draws his landscapes, visions, ideas and states of mind - pure grace! Akinmusire explores the two sides of his temperament: introspection and lyrical ebullience. In summer 2017, he released 'A Rift in Decorum - Live at the Village Vanguard', a double CD recorded at the legendary club in New York, featuring 16 new compositions in two wide-ranging sets, in defiance of gravity. Recorded on July 9, at the Festival Jazz á Vienne; TV Director, Fabien Raymon (60 min)

        Roy Hargrove quintet; Roy Hargrove, Bugle, Trumpet; Justin Robinson, Flute, Saxophone; Ameen Saleem, Bass; Quincy Phillips, drums; Tadataka Unno, Piano; The trumpeter and singer Roy Hargrove has asserted himself as one of the most important jazz musicians for thirty years. Always there where you are least expecting him to be, Roy Hargrove refines his music by invention and reinvention. He is immensely seductive and gives mammoth concerts and happiness to all generations...His flamboyant post-bop quintet tinted with groove is the very quintessence of the original jazz movement.

      • 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 20.06.2020 (61 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. Recorded on 2017, July 13th at the Jazz Festival in Vienne; TV Director, Nicolas Micha (74 min)
