The artists performing during the evening:
-Henri Herbert: Piano brought back to the forefront of rock ’n’ roll.
Fascinated from childhood by Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino and Pete Johnson, Henri Herbert made his breakthrough with the Jim Jones Revue before settling in Austin at the heart of roots music. One of the world’s most sought-after blues and boogie pianists – his impromptu video ‘Gettin’ On Down’ at St Pancras has racked up over 100 million views. On stage: the raw energy of original rock ’n’ roll.
-Jean-Pierre Bertrand: ‘The Boss of Boogie’ – he gets the audience and the piano dancing!
A French blues and boogie-woogie pianist since 1967, founder of the festival and a leading figure in the genre in Europe – 15 albums, prestigious venues including Jazz à Vienne, and the unique feat of performing a concert on the ice floe at the North Pole in 2000. Sizzling swing, charisma and infectious passion.
-The Jazz Collectors: The elegance of 1930s–40s swing.
Immerse yourself in the golden age of jazz: ten passionate musicians bring the spirit of American big bands back to life – Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, period arrangements and a rich, powerful and decidedly danceable sound. Led since 2009 by Didier Desbois (Laurent Mignard Duke Orchestra, Claude Bolling…).
-Patrick Bacqueville: Jazz Party – in the land of swing, which brings joy!
A trombonist and singer who is a constant presence on the French and European jazz scenes, he presents an explosive and thoroughly interactive quartet – festive jazz, groove, humour and virtuosity, from Ellington to Armstrong, with some French surprises: Aznavour, Dassin, Bardot…
