Tony Allen - Jazz á la Villette
Tony Allen - The Source; Tony Allen (drums); Mathias Allamane (double bass); Indy Dibongue (guitar); Jean-Phi Dary (Piano - keyborad); Nicolas Giraux (trumpet); Yann Jankielewicz (Tenor saxophone); Playlist; Bad Roads; Ewajo; On Fire; Wolf eat Wolf; Push and Pull; Crusing; Cool Cats; (Album The Source (Universal >Blue Note Records); Born in 1940 in Lagos, Tony Allen had never played any of the traditional percussion instruments only to straightaway become interested in their far-off cousin, that is to say, the drum kit. Self-taught, it was by listening to the recordings of Art Blakey or Max Roach that he perfected his technique of drum playing, even though he was working as a technician at the National Radio of Nigeria. His destiny took a new turn when in 1964 he made the acquaintance of Fela Kuti, firstly as part of the Koola Lobitos, then as conductor of Africa 70 where he developed a new language known as the Afrobeat, a mixture of Yoruba rhythms, of funk and of revolutionary themes. With Fela Kuti, Tony would append his rhythmic signature to around twenty albums, a unique manner of drawing out the rhythms with caressing energy, but which is fantastically efficient. For the rest of his career, Tony would spend it remaining faithful to the original Afrobeat and a multidirectional emancipation leading him through jazz, Dub music and international Pop.

Charlie Parker / Bird with strings revisited
Jazz at the Philharmonie / Charlie Parker; Philharmonie de Paris; With Olivier Bogé (saxophone), Géraldine Laurent (saxophone), Pierrick Pedron (saxophone), Thomas de Pourquery (saxophone), Jaleel Shaw (saxophone), Thomas Bramerie (double bass), Ali Jackson (drums); Winds and strings orchestra; Arrangement, Christophe Dal Sasso; Conductor, Bastien Stil; Setlist; . Overture for 5 saxophones & orchestra; . Autumn in New York (solist, Pierrick Pedron); . Lover (Solist, Pierrick Pedron); . Just Friends (solist, Olivier Bogé); . Everything Happens to me (Solist, Olivier Bogé); . If I should lose you (Solists, Jaleel Shaw & Géraldine Laurent); . Stella by Starlight (Solist, Géraldine Laurent); . Summertime (Solist, Thomas de Pourquery); . Laura (Solist, Thomas de Pourquery); . Easy to love (Solist, Jaleel Shaw); . What is this thing called love ( 5 saxo); 'Bird with Strings' (1949) by Charlie Parker is a unique encounter between the world of jazz and classical music. Some of today's best saxophonists return to this repertoire, with new arrangements by Christophe Del Sasso. For the young producer Norman Granz, the signing of Charlie Parker on the Mercury label was a real success story. For several years the saxophonist had been toying with the idea of seizing the opportunity to record music outside his usual quintet. The project 'Charlie Parker with strings' was therefore for him an old dream that he was to bring to reality in 1949. With an oboe, a few violins, a viola, a cello, a harp, a piano, a double bass and drums, he was to give a new sound to the 1930's classics such as 'Just Friends' or 'April in Paris'. Jazz at the Philharmonie celebrates this superb encounter by bringing together Géraldine Laurent (Grand Prix de l'Académie Charles Cros 2015), Pierrick Pédron (Prix du disque français awarded by the Académie du jazz 2013) and Thomas de Pourquery (Artist of the Year at the Victoires du jazz 2017) on new arrangements by Christophe Dal Sasso.
