Tribute to great composers of the 20th century

Michel Mainil (saxes) Jérémy Dumont (piano)
Jean Van Lint (bass,vocals) Bruno Castellucci (drums)

George Gershwin and Cole Porter: Two giants of American music, they highlighted their era through their timeless compositions.

Iconic works like "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Porgy and Bess" are a testament to his ability to fuse styles and express deep emotions. His talent for creating unforgettable melodies continues to inspire generations of artists.

Cole Porter, on the other hand, enchanted the world with his witty lyrics and melodies. His songs, such as "Night and Day" and "I Get a Kick Out of You" are perfect examples.

Their geniuses continue to light up stages around the world, reminding each of us of the beauty and magic of music.!

Benny Goodman learned clarinet at his synagogue, bolstered by two years of classical training. He made his professional debut at 12 and became part of the rich Chicago jazz scene, steeped in the music of New Orleans. Goodman first recorded in 1926 and spent several years as a first-call musician in New York. His 1934 band was broadcast on the popular “Let’s Dance” radio show which aired coast to coast. An otherwise unsuccessful tour in 1935 ended in a smash hit in Los Angeles where the audience went wild. Thus, it is said, swing was born and Goodman became its name King of Swing !
As a composer Goodman contributed to ”Stompin’ at the Savoy,” “Seven Come Eleven,” “Air Mail Special,” “Flying Home,” “Don’t Be That Way,” ”Lullaby in Rhythm,” “If Dreams Come True,” and “Soft Winds.”
Goodman also helped racial integration in America. In the early 1930s, black and white jazz musicians could not play together in most clubs or concerts. In the Southern states, racial segregation was enforced by law. Benny Goodman broke with tradition by hiring Teddy Wilson to play with him and drummer Gene Krupa in the Benny Goodman Trio. In 1936, he added Lionel Hampton on vibes to form the Benny Goodman Quartet.

Latin American rhythms

Sergio Carvajal Del Salto, guitar and requinto; Jose Buc Chavez, bass
Joël Rabesolo, guitar; Renato Martins, latin percussions

Taitamuki is a contraction of two Quechua words: taita, meaning father/ancestor/sage, and amuki, which signifies silence. The wisdom of silence, ancestral silence, and the silence of our ancestors serve as constant sources of inspiration and new discoveries... Our ancestors entrust us with a mission: not to reduce them to silence, especially at a time when traditional music struggles to be broadcasted and preserved.

The transcriptions, arrangements and personal compositions resulting from our research into little-known Latin American rhythms serve as an act of resistance, seeking to refresh these rhythms while honoring musical heritage.

Join us on this journey where each piece immerses you in a place, a culture and a tradition.

May Ecuador's san juanito, Uruguay's candombe, Brazil's maxixe, Argentina's chacarera, Bolivia's takirari and other musical surprises from the rich Latin American continent resonate deeply in your soul!
