      • Rhoda Scott's Lady Quartet + Special Guest Bernard Purdie - Jazz á Vienne

        Lady Quartet; Rhoda Scott (organ), Airelle Besson (trumpet), Lisa Cat-Berro (saxophone alto), Géraldine Laurent (saxophone alto); Sophie Alour (Saxophone tenor); Julie Saury (drums); Special guest; Bernard Purdie (drums); Since 2004, the organist Rhoda Scott has been at the helm (sparked by an idea from Jazz á Vienne) of the torrid and well-named Lady Quartet, in the company of her Amazons Lisa Cat-Berro, Julie Saury and Sophie Alour. As euphoric and punchy as her young companions in the heat of the action, Rhoda Scott is one of the few still to use the pedals on her Hammond organ. Hence her nickname, 'the barefoot organist' (or 'the absolute toe' in the words of Luigi Trussardi!). After helping to raise the temperature in French jazz venues for the past 50 years, Lady Scott will be celebrating her eightieth birthday this year. She'll be blowing out the boogie candles and setting the gospel cake and soulful chorus on fire. The organist is the daughter of a travelling pastor from New Jersey and grew up in religious communities. She graduated with a master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music and set off for France to complete her studies with Nadia Boulanger. Back in New York, she began by playing with Count Basie. But then she decided to try her luck in Paris, where she arrived right in the month of May 1968. Featuring original compositions and covers ranging from Trenet to Wayne Shorter, 'We Free Queens' (2017), with the title proudly adapted from 'We Free Kings' by Roland Kirk, was recorded live. For Vienne a Lady All-Stars is billed, with Airelle Besson (trumpet), Géraldine Laurent (tenor saxophone) and Anne Pacéo (drums), plus the drummer Bernard Purdie. Recorded on July 3, 2018 at the Festival Jazz á Vienne; TV Director, Fabien Raymond (59 min)

On a parlé de free jazz, mais ' ce n'est pas un autre jazz, c'est une musique autre, créative '. Depuis ses débuts (dans l'ONJ de Daniel Yvinec), Antonin Tri Hoang n'est pas sans évoquer Ornette: meme lyrisme tarabiscoté, meme gout du dérapage contrôlé. Au lieu d'une dissertation sur l'œuvre, il a proposé des reves, des ponts évocateurs, ' pas un revival, mais un survival '. Avec, aux manettes, le quartette Novembre et des invités qui maîtrisent á la perfection l'art du zapping et du collage. Ce qui n'est pas sans rappeler John Zorn, un autre grand fils (spirituel) d'Ornette. Recorde on April 19 avril 2016 at Banlieues Bleues, MC93; TV Director, Stéphane Jourdain 11.07.2020 (56 min)

C'est dans l'histoire et l'actualité qu'ils se sont inspirés, d'Olympe de Gouges á Emma Gonzales, des droits civiques á la justice climatique, á la recherche de grands discours de rébellion (s) á mettre en sons, pour souffler dans leurs saxophones comme sur des braises...

      • Ron Carter, Golden Striker Trio - Jazz á vienne

        Golden Striker Trio; Ronald L. Carter (bass guitar ); Russel L. Malone (guitar); Donald Vega (piano); A hugely talented double bassist, gifted with a remarkable sense of melody and widely recognised for the finesse and elegance of his playing style, the American Ron Carter is a living legend. A musician of genius, he started out playing with Gil Evans, Lena Horne, Bill Evans, B.B. King, Dexter Gordon, Wes Montgomery, Eric Dolphy and Bobby Timmons. He then went on to win fame alongside Cannonball Adderley and Thelonious Monk and, of course, from 1963 to 1968, in the famous quintet formed by Miles Davis. Closer to us in time, Ron Carter became a respected musical leader in his own right in the Golden Striker Trio with Russell Malone and Mulgrew Miller ('Golden Striker' album, 2003) and opted, like Ray Brown towards the end of his life, for the legendary trio of piano/guitar/bass, first used by Nat King Cole and Art Tatum. This classical tradition is fully assumed by Miles' former bassist. In concert, the emotion often reaches a climax with one of his favourite songs, the standard 'My Funny Valentine'. A native of Michigan (born in 1937), Ron Carter won a Grammy Award in 1998 for the instrumental 'Call Sheet Blues' from the soundtrack of the film 'Round Midnight'. In 2010, he was made a Commander in the Order of Arts and Letters in France. Last year, his virtuoso association with the accordionist Richard Galliano enjoyed great success in France. A musical sense forged with tungsten, like the strings on his bass, and with all his elegance and freshness intact, the legend is back.
