Students from the jazz classes of Monségur Middle School (33) will perform in a combo under the watchful eye of François Mary, one of their teachers.
OFF: François Mary Trio (Second part)
François Mary Trio will offer modern Jazz that oscillates between standards and compositions. The universe of this double bassist and his trio revolves around influences as diverse as Ray Brown, Charlie Haden, and François Moutin. But what matters to him is being able to navigate between modern currents, those of Emmet Cohen, Christian McBride, or Henri Texier, and the jazz of the sixties, that of Coltrane, Mingus, or Miles…

IN: Mamz'elle Bee and the Boyz
Four musicians with strong personalities accompany Mamz’elle Bee in a repertoire ranging from swing to boogie, inspired by iconic singers of the era: Louis Prima, Peggy Lee, the Andrews Sisters, Doris Day, etc. Mamz’elle Bee and the Boyz offer a dive into the liberation era, where good spirits, music, dance, and joie de vivre resonate in hearts and radios. It’s the time of dances and carefree moments, punctuated by this American music that brings renewal and hope. Mamz’elle Bee will charm you with the tunes and spirit of post-war America, with humor, fantasy, and a strong stage presence. This concert is designed for lindy hop, swing, charleston, and boogie dancers, as well as for jazz lovers and those who enjoy immersive experiences.

OFF: Jive Machine trio
Imagine a piano on wheels from which emanate the sounds of a double bass, a guitar, and lively swing songs. This is the audacious idea of Jive Machine Trio, a group that doesn’t just play music, but brings it to life and makes it move. Drawing inspiration from the great trios of the genre, from Nat King Cole to Diana Krall, via Ron Carter and John Pizzarelli, the three companions intertwine their instruments and voices in personal arrangements of a swing repertoire that is both invigorating and refreshing.
Thomas Guibert: Guitar and vocals
Fred Lasnier: Piano and vocals
Jérémy Teulade: Double bass and vocals
IN: Echoes of Harlem
Created in 2022, this octet of seasoned musicians revives the original arrangements of Duke Ellington’s “small group” recordings, which aimed to give soloists a more prominent role than they had in the big band. Faithfully transcribed by Paul CHÉRON, these original arrangements showcase all the distinctive sound colors of Duke Ellington and his “alter ego” Billy Strayhorn.
