Noé Clerc Trio

This accordionist and musician is likely to hold a special place on the jazz scene in the years to come. Everything sings (for us) in Noé Clerc's music. This young man is not only a unique instrumentalist but also a composer who knows that, without a real melody, the most beautiful improvisations are at risk of getting lost in the limbo of oblivion. Vincent Peirani, the Sun King of the accordion, has found his heir here: from now on, he will no longer be alone in spreading happiness by making his fingers dance on the pearly keys of his thrill box. Thank you Vincent, welcome Noé.

Mamie Jotax

Mamie Jotax is first and foremost a joyful syllabic chimera, born from a random sneeze and a pinch of onomatopoeia. A bud that jolts the imagination and pervades bewitching and unusual worlds. And then, Mamie Jotax swiftly became a spirit. A bubble filled with ideals, curiosity and madness that hovers over the two musicians. A kind of manifesto in the form of an old suitcase, where the two explorers collect everything on their path that deserves to be kept, and everything that is yet to exist.

Ishkero

Epic crescendos, dreamy improvised ambient phases and lyrical flute and guitar solos, Ishkero is a band in love with the live scene, the loud sound and the effects. For eight years, the future thirty- somethings have been maturing in concerts (with more than a hundred dates to their credit), constantly refining their original, ever-changing repertoire of progressive jazz, with a growing emphasis on rock energy. Ishkero likes to go hard, to " beat up ", to develop solos. This is a group that is already emblematic of the new generation of French jazz.

Haléïs

In the course of 2020, Juliette Meyer (vocals, lyrics) brought together Thibault Gomez (piano), Fanny Lasfargues (electro-acoustic bass) and Benoît Joblot (drums) to create Haléïs, which means "resounding cry" in old French. An ethereal, swirling music responds to this dark universe by giving the breath that is missing to the speaking subject. Rooted in darkness but turned towards light, Haléïs is characterised by a chiaroscuro atmosphere.
