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.

Youn Sun Nah - D'jazz Nevers
Youn Sun Nah; Youn Sun Nah, voice; Tomek Miernowski, guitars, piano, synthesizer, programming; Rémi Vihnolo, drums, double bass, electric bass, programming; A decade after the release of Same Girl, recording marking the consecration in 2010 of Youn Sun Nah, she continues to assert herself as a singer resolutely not to be classified, whose all-embracing virtuoso voice can handle jazz, improvisation, opera, pop and world music. With her recent album, a polished made in-studio immersion with the complicity of her producer-arranger Clément Ducol, the Korean has produced her most personal work to date: apart from the revisiting of an eclectic repertoire from Albéniz to Michel Legrand and George Harrison, Marvin Gaye and Leonard Cohen, she leaves plenty of room for the first time for her own compositions, thus confirming a singular talent as a songwriter. An explosive cocktail, which can be taken full advantage of on stage with the complicity of Tomek Miernowski on guitars and keyboards as well as the phenomenal Rémi Vignolo, just as at ease on the drums as on the double bass. Recorded at the D'jazz Nevers on November 16, 2019; TV Director, Samuel Thiebaut (56 min)

Robot! - choreography by Blanca Li
Robot! Choreography, artistic direction Blanca Li; Musical robots, Maywa Denki; NAO Robots, Aldebaran Robotics; Scenography, Pierre Attrait; Light, Jacques Chatelet; Music, Tao Gutierrez; In partnership with Aldebaran Robotics for the NAO robots; Dancers, Yacnoy Abreu Alfonso, Emilie Camacho, Géraldine Fournier, Yann Hervé, Aliashka Hilsum, Samir M'Kirech, Margalida Riera Roig, Gael Rougegrez and 8 robots; Eight dancers and the musically animated humanoids of the Japanese collective Maywa Denki are directed by Blanca Li and investigate the relationship between man and machine, in the particular context where robots tend to become more and more human. This innovative performance is immediately engaging and the audience is dazzled by the technical prowess of the robotic choreography. A futuristic fantasy, 'Robot!', Blanca Li's new creation for the Montpellier Dance Festival, is one of these unidentified objects the choreographer from Andalusia particularly enjoys. In this approach to 'total theatre', she involves eight dancers and the animated humanoids of the Japanese collective Maywa Denki. The resulting opera takes stock of a world in which mathematics and technology try to harness human life and design thinking machines. Machines with desires... A post-dadaist choreographer, influenced by psychoanalytically-minded Martha Graham and her native city of Granada where she was a gymnast at the age of twelve, Blanca Li enjoys a comical and poetical form of humour. Her 'Garden of Earthly Delights' after Hieronymus Bosch, premiered at Montpellier in 2009, her opera 'Rag Time' after Scott Joplin, a commercial for the Longchamp brand and a show for Jean-Paul Gaultier all partake of her invitation to 'come and dance with me'. 'Robot!' clearly belong to this tradition. Recorded at the Maison des Arts & de la Culture de Créteil; TV directors, Blanca Li and Fabien Raymond (84 min)
