Tribute to Fela Kuti – festival special 2018
Nigeria, early 1970s: the country experienced a real oil boom; the military juntas succeed one another and the elite along with the multinationals share out the oil wealth while the miserable slums abound. In this atmosphere where the arbitrary judgements become the law, a charismatic musician, a rebel leader emerged: Fela Anikulapo Kuti. In order to deliver his messages of justice and equality, he created an unusual combination of Afro-American funk jazz, of ju-ju music, high-life, Yoruba traditions and Nigerian vodun: Afrobeat was born. The modernity of its fusion of ancestral drums and electric soul continue to haunt the collective unconsciousness of Africa. The metrics of Afrobeat mix with electro, pop or hip-hop, borrowing words from all the languages of the globe. Today, the American jazz drummer Sangoma Everett, fascinated by the aura, the integrity and creativity of Fela, decided to take a new look at the message and the music of Black President.
Line up: Sangoma Everett - drums & bandleader; Sahr Ngaujah - voc; Bastien Brison – piano; Aurélien Joly – trumpet; Cyrille Mathieu – trombone; Mamadou Ba - bass - New York; Ganesh Geymeier – saxophone; Dele Sosimi – keyboads; Felix Manuaku – guitar; Karim Addadi – guitar; Edmundo Carneiro – percussion; Philippe Maniez - arranger & conductor; 3 voc, female Dancers; Pierre Olivier - sound engineer

A 10-piece ensemble consisting of some of the top jazz musicians on the scene today will perform musical examples of each style. Great international starmusicians are performing this show, the line up is confirmed.The band is guiding you through the history of jazz from Blues to Ragtime to Swing to Bebop to Cool. The 1950s and 60s were a particularly fertile time for jazz, with many genres emerging. There was Louis Armstrong, the most influential figures in Jazz, the Hard Bop of Miles Davis and Art Blakey; the Modal Jazz of Miles and John Coltrane; Soul Jazz, with many Hard Bop musicians adopting this style; and the Bossa Nova craze. Latin Jazz and Free or Avant-Garde Jazz, pioneered by Ornette Coleman, also developed during this period. After delving into these earlier jazz movements, the program moves on to Fusion and Post-Bop, and finally, reflects on the many different styles of jazz being played today. The band is going with you through a long travel, giving you also the opportunity to understand the history of this amazing music which has doing many steps. 1917 was recorded in New York the first album with a band from New Orleans, over 100 years we have the music covered.

Enrico Rava, tp , flgh; Francesco Dioti, guit; Gabriele Evangelista, bass; Enrico Morello, dm
Enrico Rava, tireless as usual, no matter he’s 75, is leading a brand new quartet calling by his side three very young talents and giving life to the “RAVA NEW 4ET” project.
WILD DANCE. Enrico Rava's brand new ECM album, was out on september 2015 and it's already became a success.
Francesco Diodati belongs to the large crowd of young italian jazz musicians in rising (not only national) success.
The most peculiar aspects of his “artistic way of living music” are: strogly clear ideas and a strict desire to share his musical language with other musicians belonging to his generation.What Diodati gives to jazz music is a contemporary approach in which the sense of history and a huge auditory universe live side by side.
Electronic effects, wisely used and built on skillfully technical competence of acustic and electric guitar, reflect a new idea of music that expand “six strings” physical
research, from jazz to the rest of musical universe.

Jasper van’t Hof – Reto Weber Duo with special guest
Musically they understand each other blind ! In conjunction with borderless instrumental mastery, breathtaking sounds and rhythms. A mix of van't Hof his meditative warmmelodyfeel in connection with heavey grooves and Weber as a big contrast with shillings income and sharp percussion instruments plus virtuoso technique. The rapid interaction's with huge contrasts give the audience to sit on one occasion a feeling of being in a carousel which high speed drastically goes out the other direction..... than to slip on a cloud through a peaceful sky.
Visuality's all over. Brainwash.
The new CD FEATURING will be out the end of this year. We have 20 musicians on our list, they have agreed to play with the Duo. It is after your choice with whom you will have the Duo
World Peace Trio
Gilad Atzmon, sax/clarinet, electronics; Kamal Musallam, oud, acoustic and electric guitar; Dwiki Dharmawan, acoustic piano, synth
As the drums of war beating and peace may seem more and more like an exotic dream, World Peace Trio has managed to bridge the divide. Indonesian piano maestro Dwiki Dharmawan, oud star Kamal Musallam and woodwind virtuoso Gilad Atzmon have untied to give beauty a new transforming meaning. An Indonesian Muslim, a Palestinian Christian and an ex Israeli ex Jew have united to make peace and harmony into a new poetic reality and totally new sound with roots in Gamelan and the Middle Eastern blend into inspirational waves of free spirit of contemporary modern jazz.
