We are pleased to announce the Jazz Migration #11 laureates !
This year, 90 groups, supported by festivals and venues from across France, applied for Jazz Migration. Nearly 110 programmers listened to the 15 finalist groups and chose four winners, reminding us once again that the emergence of jazz and improvised music partly relies on the commitment of festivals and venues, particularly those of the AJC network!
This year, with Duo Brady, Franges, nit and dogs, and OASIS BOOM, the Jazz Migration #11 selection, made up of 13 artists and nearly 50% women, remains mixed and is thus very close to achieving perfect gender parity. Our commitment, along with the work done in this direction by the network and our members over several years, is bearing fruit!
The four winning groups will begin today a process of artistic and professional support that will last two years and will be completed with a French and international tour in 2026. Professional support will also be available to the finalist groups as well as to the musicians in our Initiales program, benefiting more than 50 artists! Thanks to Jazz Migration, these many musicians will receive the support of a network of engaged professionals.
Congratulations and welcome to them!
