        Pedrito Martinez Live at the Banlieues Bleues 2017; Pedrito Martinez, voice, percussions; Edgar Pantoja-Aleman, voice, keyboards; Alvaro Benavides, voice, bass; Jhair Sala, voice, bongos; The most popular Cuban percussionist in New York brings a fresh new take on latin jazz. For a long time, this drummer-and-singer, brought up on Batá drums and the Santeria cult in Havana, was an ardent sideman with Bruce Springsteen, Meshell Ndegeocello and Sting. The following years in residence at a Manhattan restaurant made him the charismatic leader of a fusion quartet. Deeply attached to the Afro-cuban dance and Yoruba prayers of his youth, Pedrito Martinez fuses them with the soul, pop and rock sounds of New York. A heady Afro-cuban mix. Recorded on 2017, march 15th as part of the 'Banlieues Bleues', Clichy-sous-bois; TV Director, Stéphane Sinde (55 min)

      • Extended Hanoi Duo - Like a jazz machine

        Extended Hanoi Duo; Nguyen Le, electric and accoustic guitar; Ngo Hong Quang, traditional instruments, voice; Mieko Miyazaki, koto; Paolo Fresu, trumpet; Edouard Prabhu, tabals; Alex Tran, percussions; Hao Nhiem Pham, flute; The celebrated French-Vietnamese guitarist Nguyen Le is a masterful, inventive player who has cultivated a wholly unique voice on the instrument, ranking right up there with Bill Frisell, John Scofield, Mike Stern and Allan Holdsworth in the post-Hendrix world of jazz guitar. He has developed a distinctive sound that draws upon rock, funk and jazz as well as traditional Algerian, Indian and Vietnamese styles. His ethereal and colourful music acts like a powerful detonator which every time creates new and unheard soundscapes. On his latest album he teams up with young traditionalist singer Ngo Hong Quang, on lute, Vietnamese fiddle, Jew's harp, to portray 'the soul of Vietnam' and its quickening evolution. There are jaunty folkish tunes, temple bells and ethereal melodies, and a storm of electric guitars. Nguyen's life-long friend, the famous Italian trumpeter Paolo Fresu adds elegant Miles Davis-like peaks to a powerful, fauvism-coloured fusion of ancient and modern.

        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.
