Soirée Showcases Jazz sur Seine 2025
Quentin Ghomari - "Ôtrium" : 20h30
Led by trumpeter Quentin Ghomari, Ôtrium is a tight formation with an acoustic, raw, direct sound, made of clean melodic lines that resonate with each other and play with silence. Sometimes meditative and dreamlike, sometimes wild and obstinate, his music leaves the primacy to expressiveness, exchange and spontaneity.
Mario Canonge Trio - feat Arnaud Dolmen & Michel Alibo : 21h40
After the success of the second volume of his Quint'up with Michel Zenino, Mario Canonge, a key figure in Caribbean jazz, returns to the stage with a new explosive trio project. Surrounded by Michel Alibo on double bass and Arnaud Dolmen on drums, he offers a vibrant jazz, in the colors of the West Indies, between tradition, modernity and pure improvisation. Deeply inspired by Marius Cultier and Alain Jean-Marie, Canonge has established himself for decades as one of the most brilliant French jazz pianists. From La Manigua to Ultramarine, from Dee Dee Bridgewater to Chico Freeman, his career is punctuated by prestigious encounters that have shaped his unique style, nourished by groove and emotion.
In this concert, the trio revisits the great compositions of the pianist, with total freedom, capturing the very essence of live performance: the interaction, the tension, the silence that breathes, the energy that circulates. A rare alchemy, forged over the course of many shared scenes, and immortalized in an album recently recorded in public at the Comptoir de Fontenay. A strong, intense moment, where Caribbean jazz is lived live, with passion and generosity.
Mathias Lévy & Lou Tavano - "Chant Song" : 22h50
Chant Song, Mathias Lévy's next album is a permanent dialogue, a perpetual quest for balance and meaning between the voice and the rubbed strings, the breath of singing and that of the accordion, the words of poets like Prévert or Cendrars, and the joy of collective improvisation and freedom ... With Chant Song, Mathias Lévy puts melody at the heart of his creation. Fascinated by their apparent simplicity, their emotional charge, the way they belong to the collective memory and are like an original soundtrack of our lives, he creates a new repertoire to honor these melodies. Connecting emotions and sound, managing to tell a story through improvisation and natural understanding, this is the absolute melodic quest of the violinist. To do this, he brings together his long-time traveling companions Sébastien Giniaux, Jean Philippe Viret and Laurent Derache as well as the singer Lou Tavano, integrating singing into his music for the first time.
