‘Swing Blues & Boogie Woogie’

Philippe LeJeune, piano
Paolo Loveri, guitar
René Stock, acoustic bass
Tristan Patigny, drums

French pianist Philippe LeJeune is a perfect example of the mixture of jazz and blues which was especially an important strain in the jazz tradition. The young pianist attended in 1968 a concert in Reims (France) by master boogie woogie and blues pianist  singer Memphis Slim, and immediately put an end to his classical efforts and began teaching himself piano blues, scouring local record shops fort LP's by boogie woogie greats. In 1980 he was invited by Memphis Slim himself - who had been a parisian citizen since 1962 - to cut an album titled "Dialog In Boogie" as a piano duet.

Philippe Lejeune's playing creates a strong blues flavor of soulful, swinging jazz. His repertoire reflects the pianist important early influences, honoring the blues and jazz masters who inspired him when he first began playing jazz. His playing is always a brilliant assortment of sobriety and expressiveness. Philippe LeJeune has a wide repertoire ranging from classic barrelhouse boogie woogie piano to Duke Ellington and Horace Silver tunes as well those of Milt Jackson and Neal Hefti, but he sounds 'at home' when playing the blues.

Philippe LeJeune has released seven CDs in the United States, the most recent is "Cleveland Gateway" (2019) recorded in a trio format. He also makes numerous appearances in major festivals including Detroit Jazz Festival, Cincinnati Blues Fest, Monterey Bay Blues Festival, Jazz N'June Festival in Huntsville AL, Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz CA, Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Festival in Toledo OH, and has been a regular guest of first rate American jazz clubs as Baker's and CliffBell's (Detroit MI), Nighttown (Cleveland OH) or Cezanne (Houston TX) ... His performance at the Motor City Blues & Boogie Woogie Festival (Detroit, 2005) was recorded live to be edited into P.B.S. television specials and DVD.

Living in Toulouse, France, LeJeune has also performed for many years throughout Europe in the jazz festival and blues circuit (France, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, United Kingdom) and in Africa (Tunisia, Senegal). As an educator and clinician he has taught workshops in music schools, conservatories of music, and has lead seminars at jazz festivals throughout France and USA.  Philippe LeJeune's name was introduced into the famous "New Grove Dictionary of Jazz" (Barry Kernfeld) in 2001.

Philippe LeJeune is doing his part to continue a legacy by blending classic jazz, blues and boogie woogie, with his own stylings. He explores an impressive variety of blues styles and grooves, leaving listeners with a happy feeling.

Swing and hot Jazz

Sam Ghezzi : vocals, tenor saxophone, conducting
Mo van der Does : clarinet
Coos Zwagerman : trumpet
Joan Codina : trombone
Oscar Ployart Wetche : piano
Davor Stehlik : banjo
Tomek van Leeuwen: upright bass
Joe Crotch : drums

“Roaring Cats are one of Europe’s most promising bands regarding swing and hot jazz. The tiny orchestra based in Amsterdam took the challenge of giving value and new significance to the roots of jazz.

Their repertoire consists of original arrangements of the finest tunes by the top artists of the 30’s and 40’s: from Fats Waller to Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington to Jimmie Lunceford. On top of that, they are presenting original compositions in style. Swell notes for hyperactive swing dancers and for sedentary drinking listeners."

Bio:

"Roaring Cats is a swing/hot jazz band founded in Amsterdam in 2018 by Sam Ghezzi and Davor Stehlik. During these years the band, started as a quartet, developed into a small orchestra featuring the horn section Joan Codina, Mo van der Does and the piano player Oscar Ployart Wetche.

After several concerts in festivals, venues and arranging sessions, their repertoire grew into a set of original arrangements of 20’s\30’s compositions, melting different identities and musical ideas.

Through a philologically conscious approach, their sound reflects the development of the music born in New Orleans, symbol of a mixture of sounds from an abundance of cultures.

Within the boundaries of a musical language that feels distant in time but close to the most natural and spontaneous artistic expressions they took the challenge of giving value and new significance to the roots of jazz.

Combining the artistic and entertaining content, they are able to offer a unique way of performing which captures the interest of art seekers and jazz connoisseurs as well as a more inexperienced audience.

In order to succeed, they took the risk of limiting themselves to the style restrictions and parameters that eventually allowed them to experiment and create something new. By using this approach they can express musical ideas in the most diverse ways, coming up with different paths to investigate the beauty of simplicity."

BRAZILIAN JAZZ

Anna Setton - vocals/ electric guitar
Edu Sangirardi - piano
Rogério Pitomba – drums

The Brazilian Jazz singer and songwriter is a special figure: she shaped her voice navigating the São Paulo nightlife, travelled the world alongside the great Toquinho, dived into the lakes of jazz, bossa nova and MPB and from there emerged with a fresh, original and vibrant music that she began by presenting, in 2018, on her eponymous debut work.

The pandemic inspired her to pick up the guitar and do weekly live shows where she gave her voice to some of the great musicians of Brazilian popular song. This discipline led her to produce Onde Mora meu Coração, an album of accurate versions which includes collaborations with Omara Portuondo and Sadao Watanabe.

This new work, O Futuro é Mais Bonito, was recorded in Recife. Over a modern and subtle production, Anna sounds playful, charged with brightness, light and transparent, with her voice positioned right in the centre of the song, as it should be. Anna sings words of her own authorship establishing herself more and more as a composer.

She is now touring with a trio and presenting her original songs from her 3 released albums and some inédits themes that will be on her next work.
