      • Manu Katché, Richard Bona, Mike Stern, Niels Lan Doky - Jazz in Marciac

        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)

      • Shabaka and the Ancestors - Montreux Jazz Festival

        Shabaka and the Ancestors; Shabaka Akua Lumumba Kamau Hutchings (saxophone ténor); Mthunzi Mvubu (saxophone alto); Siyabonga Mthembu (voix); Ariel Zomonsky (Basse); Tumi Mogorosi (batterie); Gontse Makhene (Percussions); Playlist; . Nguni (Shabaka Hutchings, Siyabonga Mthembu); . The Sea (Shabaka Hutchings); . The Observer (Shabaka Hutchings, Siyabonga Mthembu); . Joyous ( (Shabaka Hutchings); . Natty (Shabaka Hutchings); . Mzwandile (Shabaka Hutchings, Siyabonga Mthembu); . Chik CHIkka (Lykaty Astatke); Refocusing jazz could be Shabaka Hutchings' mantra. The tenor saxophonist recently went to Johannesburg to soak up South African heritage and to surround himself with the country's best musicians. It led to a celebratory, spiritual sound on the vibrant Wisdom of Elders, recorded in just one day in Johannesburg. The music composed by the saxophonist is primitive, spontaneous, and unpredictable. It's infused with drummer Tumi Mogoros's polyrhythmic beats and the hypnotic sounds of singer Siyabonga Mthembu. British Shabaka Hutchings has Barbadian roots. He's been recognized as a key player on the London jazz scene for a few years now. He got noticed when he brought African and Caribbean sounds to Sons Of Kemet and by playing with the electro-cosmic sounds of The Comet Is Coming.

        Erik Truffaz (trumpet); Marcello Giuliani (bass); Benoît Corboz piano (Fender Rhodes); Marc Erbetta (drums); With special guests; Nya (voice); Guillaume Perret (saxophone); The trumpet player of Swiss origin, Erik Truffaz,is one of the first European jazzmen to have successfully approached drum'n'bass. In 1991 he founded a quartet which today is composed of Benoît Corboz (keyboards), Marcello Giuliani (bass) and Marc Erbetta (drums and percussion),he explores electronic jazz-fusion much in the same way as Miles Davis and recorded several albums starting from 1994. After an incursion into into rock at the head of his Ladybird Quartet created in 2001, he returned to the formula which had made him successful. In his world, always deeply influenced by Miles Davis, the stridencies of rock alternate with the poetic respites, the rousing grooves with more calm ballads.
