A back-to-school year without good resolutions, it’s not really a back-to-school year anymore. But instead of betting on a gym membership that we will regret, Jazz en Nord offers you to open up to the diversity of jazz, of all jazz!
Whether it is tinged with groove (Principles Of Joy), nostalgia for big bands (You Rascal Band), contemplative and poetic (Hugo Diaz 4tet) or invites itself to the great table of music from all worlds (Aleph 5tet, Upendo), the jazz we love is a living and malleable material, that many artists take pleasure in distorting, exploring, reusing into completely new landscapes (Wet Enough!?).
Thus, we will listen to the sung-scanned voice ofAmy Gadiaga, for an exciting sensory jazz, we will move the seats to dance with the Chicago blues festival, we will immerse ourselves in the elegant folk-blues of Guy Davis, while celebrating a virtuoso jazz alongside the power-band Solaxis, without forgetting the young inventive guard of contemporary blues, Sonny Gullage and Jovin Webb. Also note, our traditional co-production with the Tourcoing Jazz Festival, with the immense Avishai Cohen, in trio around his new project "Brightlight".
