56th JAZZ A JUAN 2016

Since 1960 and the creation of Jazz à Juan, jazz has changed, jazz has mutated, it is everywhere, « all over the world », permeating, transfusing and instilling itself into all musical styles, redefining borders and boundaries, and must be recognised as the vast musical trajectory which has brought Afro-American culture to the threshold of the most contemporary and universal questions in music, while careful not to become lost in the prolixity of what we might conveniently call « World Music », nor hardened into an academic discipline destined for maintaining heritage.

And so Jazz à Juan has remained, for all these decades, an open and evolving festival, in other words optimistic, intuitive, nonconformist, avant-gardist, universalist, synergistic, culturalist, environmentalist, humanist, intimist, modernist, mutationist, mutualist, progressive, retrofuturist...

While celebrating her 56th anniversary, Jazz à Juan retains all the visceral instinct of her own legend. This year once again, as jazz and its close musical relatives cyrstallise into rare forms, the festival is more than ever open to artistic expression, welcoming many legendary figures who come to perform their most recent hits to the public.

THURSDAY 14th JULY

JZ MUSIC ALL STARSAt the end of 2014, Jazz à Juan and the JZ Festival Shanghai, the most important jazz festival in China, signed a cooperation agreement centered on the promotion of these two events by the media and the official websites managed by each organiser, as well as on the exchange of artists between the two festivals. So in 2015, JZ Festival and Coco Zhao, one of the best known jazzmen of China, were in the spotlight at a Jazz à Juan concert, whilst Charles Pasi

performed at the recent JZ Festival Shanghai.

A successful exchange which is maintained in 2016 ! This year again, “JZ Festival Shanghai” will be a part of the Pinède Gould celebrations with JZ MUSIC ALL STARS.

ORChESTRE dES CARAbInIERS dU PRInCEThe Palace Guards were formed on 8th December 1817. In 1904, Prince Albert 1st, satisfied with their performance of police and guard duties, entrusted them with ensuring the security of the palace and his family, declaring that «the duties performed by the Palace Guards will from now on be performed by the Rifle Brigade («les Carabiniers»), who will henceforth be called : «Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince».»

The «Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince» has a musical ensemble comprising twenty-three musician-rifle bearers. Despite being an integral part of the unit, this orchestra is not solely music-oriented and takes part in all the duties attributed to the Company. Its highly varied repertoire enables it to play at official ceremonies and on the occasion of sporting events, public concerts and charity concerts. Since 1989, the Sovereign Prince does not hesitate to send them abroad: Saumur, Nîmes, Albertville, Lugano, Dusseldorf, Turin, Lisbon, Seville, Geneva, Hanover, etc. Jazz à Juan is honoured to welcome them on the stage of the Gould pine grove on the occasion of Bastille Day.

dIdIER LOCkwOOd,LES VIOLOnS bARbARES & GUO GAn

Fifty-three years of violin, forty-three years of career, more than 4000 concerts throughout the world and incredible collaborations with the jazz greats (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, brothers Marsalis and Michel Petrucciani, to mention but a few)... Rhythm marked by a dash of the bow, stratched strings, foundations forming a base for fleeting solos, haunting melodies which cross one another then reach an explosion of sound. What more can we say about Didier Lockwood? He has taken part in all the major jazz adventures of the past few decades and music is an essential part of Didier Lockwood’s life, a musical style without limits, going beyond virtuosity.

During his long and impressive career, he has never ceased to explore the wealth of his instrument through jazz, classical music and song. Here he is back in the Gould pine grove with this new project, the fruit of his meeting with les Violons Barbares and Guo Gan. Four string insturments (violon, gadulka, morin khuur, erhu) rubbed to the sound of unbridled percussions make for a fantastical journey from China to the Balkans, from Mongolia to the Middle East, a gifted and highly unusual contemporary vision of the Silk Road, crossroads of violins...

Concerts in Juan : 1978, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1995, 1998, 2002, 2008, 2010.

JOhnny GALLAGhER

« A magical fusion of country, jazz, blues and rock »... The « Time Out London » magazine makes no secret of its enthusiasm regarding the Irishman Johnny Gallagher’s music. This talented six-string player gets the crowd going to the sound of his « Fender telecaster » and its faded varnish, and the sound of his singing, full of an expression all his own, sometimes energetic, sometimes tender, starting as a shout to end as murmur.

Johnny Gallagher literally shines on stage! His expressive voice, his agility and his extraordinary instrumental technique make this Guitar Hero’s presence unique and undefinable. At the side of this guitarist with his cap and huge beard, Che (Guevara) style, are his two twin brothers: James on bass and Pauric at the keyboards, the only non-Gallagher being the drummer Michael Christie. This makes for a fine blend of original compositions and personal versions of songs by Pink Floyd, The Band, Lynrd Skynrd, Hendrix, Peter Green and Jimmie Rogers, all delivered with an enthusiasm which quickly catches on.

First concert Jazz à Juan

EARTh wInd & FIRETheir songs continue to set new generations all over the world dancing, quivering, moving and grooving, some fifty years after their creation. In particular, a cover of « Boogie Wonderland » was produced recently for a cult scene in the film « The Intouchables », in which Omar Sy, the hero, shocks the prim guests at a gloomy evening by dancing madly to this legendary track. Earth, Wind & Fire, whom we also have to thank for « September », « Shining Star » and « After the love has gone », has sold around one hundred million albums throughout the world.

Decidedly, Maurice White and his band have influenced the music of the 70s thanks to their skilful mix of

rhythm‘n’blues, soul and jazz. Undoubtedly even their most emblematic songs, together with those created by the Bee Gees, are the all-time best in terms of disco, then funk during this period. Maurice White passed away this year, but Earth, Wind & Fire and the amazing Philip Bailey, whose falsetto voice rises to the most improbable heights, will pay him a vibrant tribute through their songs which are certainly interplanetary, but also through a show full of energy, cadenced by the vivid presence of brass instruments and the emblematic Kalimba.

SATURDAY 16th JULY

VInTAGE TROUbLEVintage Trouble are four musicians united in a shared passion for virgin music free from all sophistication. For them, popular music seems to stop at the end of the sixties. True to their principles, they even record their demos using vintage material. These demos, despite being made within just three days, are so good that they are kept as they are, without any alteration. Vintage Trouble bring to mind the sweet warm smell of valve lamps, guitar strings rusty from sweat, the worn shine of the stage floor...

A real journey to the land of Eddie Floyd, Otis Redding, Solomon Burke, Syl Johnson, Young Rascals, Ike & Tina Tuner

(60s period), all in a bare format, with no frills or flashiness: no extended solos or vocal effects; we get down to basics. Ty Taylor, the supercharged leader in a fitted suit and perfect tie, sets the tone, with a certain similarity to James Brown at times. A groovy resonant atmosphere… An American-style show, «all done and dusted».

First concert Jazz à Juan

bUddy GUyA certain Jimi Hendrix, before achieving stardom, followed him closely with a tape recorder to capture his concerts and extract the very essence. Born in 1936, Buddy Guy is a living legend from the great period of electric blues. In a career spanning more than half a century, he has sold more than two million albums and gained many honours. Revered by Eric Clapton, who sees in him « the best guitarist of all time », this flamboyant figure from Louisiana has made a name for himself as one of the leading names in contemporary blues.

As a child, Buddy perhaps only had a little piece of wood with two strings as a guitar, but he was already full of the passion which would accompany him throughout his life. And the day he plugged in a real six-string model, he quickly rocked the foundations of r‘n’b to create his own unique style of blues. Long associated with the late Junior Wells, today he continues a solo career on all continents. His extraordinary play, clear and free, spontaneous and flamboyant, combined with an extraordinary voice and undeniable charisma, make him an exceptional showman and a major artist of the history of blues, who enjoys playing as the sun goes down, outside, to see the crowd and have them experience his music with him… So Juan is the ideal place!

MONDAY 18th JULY

ARChIE ShEPPA socially and politically committed composer, pianist, singer, playwright and poet, a griot fighting to defend the civil rights of black people, spearheading Pan-Africanism, Archie Shepp, lord of the saxophone and living legend of jazz, on a par with Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane (with whom he collaborated for several years), is returning to the «Jazz à Juan» stage where he first performed in 1970. Ever since, rolling his eyes under his black felt hat, wild and free, as enthusiastic as ever about debates and music, he has been continuing his impressive career.

Archie Shepp grew up in Philadelphia, a town in which he knew trumpet-player Lee Morgan who lived in the same neighbourhood. It was the saxophonist Jimmy Heath who introduced him to this instrument, but above all John Coltrane’s playing which fascinated him the most and to which he has listened the most in the course of his life. In New York, transforming meetings into opportunities, he became one of the leaders and founders of free jazz with Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra and Cecil Taylor. Very active in the 1960s, throughout his long and controversial

career Archie Shepp has always distinguished himself for his political commitment and his fondness for the blues. «I am jazz: it’s my life,» he confides.

Concerts in Juan : 1970, 1975, 1977, 1993, 1995.

ChARLES LLOyd nEw QUARTETFeaturing Jason Moran, Reuben Rogers, and Eric harland

In 1966, the American saxophonist and flute-player Charles Lloyd made waves in Juan with his astonishing rhythmic technique: young Keith Jarrett was at the piano (aged 21), Cecil McBee on bass and Jack DeJohnette at the drums. «The sound was unbelievable: I’ve never heard anything like it in France. The tenor was grandiose, like Coltrane or Rollins, the same kind of volume and low notes», wrote Frédéric Goaty (Jazz Magazine). The first jazz musician to sell more than one million copies of an album (“Forest Flower”), Charles Lloyd has performed on stage with the The Doors, The Byrds, The Beach Boys and even Grateful Dead, influencing other musicians such as Miles Davis to a considerable extent.

A member of the ECM Records team, Lloyd knew how to create a style all his own, combining permanent musical evolution with firmly anchored tradition through his partiality for jazz standards. “I’m always on the lookout for that perfect interval, that sound which reveals everything. Until I’ve discovered it, I’ll just have to keep on searching! I can’t take anything for granted.” The result in 2015: a new album, a tour, and a NEA Jazz Masters award. Fifty years after his first performance on the stage of the Gould pine grove, Charles Lloyd continues to impress!

GREGORy PORTERToday’s most beautiful voice is that of a man wearing his timeless «apple cap», a giant in his forties almost two metres tall, a big-hearted gentleman in a three piece suit. Gregory Porter, after having patiently awaited his hour of glory on the stages of musicals, has made a name for himself in the course of three years thanks to his exceptional tone, inherited from gospel tradition and from listening lovingly to Nat King Cole. Wynton Marsalis paid him high praise with his usual simplicity: «A fantastic young singer».

Everyone remembers his superb performance in summer 2014 on the «Jazz à Juan» stage, and his unforgettable duet with Stevie Wonder. His voice, reminiscent of those of many other legendary crooners and great names in soul (such as Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway), is one which you can’t forget, filling the air whilst in perfect harmony with the accompanying instruments. All the more so since this discreet baritone, rewarded with a “Grammy Award” in 2014, is also a skilled composer, masterfully blending jazz and soul and on stage he proves to be a remarkable showman, as sensitive as he is generous.

After having performed all over Europe for five years and having released seven albums with the blues group « The Hoax », Hugh Coltman, praised by the press for his « unique voice » decided to take a step back just at the moment when his fame was beginning to extend beyond the realm of connoisseurs. It was an encounter with pianist Eric Legnini, on the programme “One Shot Not” by Manu Katché, that had him tumbling into the world of jazz. Hugh Coltman quickly found the means to express his full talent in this musical style featuring so many landmarks and legends.

Starting with Nat King Cole, whose voice and songs had nurtured his childhood: Hugh wondered about the daily life of a black American musician subject in those days to the constraints of segregation, a daily life so far from the heritage bequeathed to us by this unique singer with his lasting smile, the first Afro-American to host a TV show, who had sold millions of singles and got his name into the « Hall of Fame ». Hence his final album « Shadows », inspired by the dark and marked face of the ever-

famous performer of « Nature Boy ». A true lesson in elegance, with the divine lightness of a tight-rope walker’s voice and, throughout, a discourse full of musical intelligence.

First concert Jazz à Juan

dIAnA kRALLShe has become one of the great ladies of jazz, performing now at all major music halls throughout the world, and the Gould pine grove is delighted to welcome her back. If Diana Krall (with her long blond hair and eyes that would make saints swoon) remains a singer of quality swing, touching listeners instantly through her veiled tone and perfect elocution, this year on the occasion of her new release, the album “Wallflowers”, she has no qualms about breaking with convention and striking out in a whole new direction in terms of style and music...

Diana Krall could have continued churning out indefinitely those bright covers of standards which gained her recognition on an international scale at the brilliant start of her career, twenty or so years ago. But the thing is, after having dished up a repertoire of covers from the golden age of classic jazz (1920s to 1960s), from ragtime to electric rock, with the talent for which she is famous, the Lady reinvents herself and this time she’s making close ties with pop songs from the 1970s, the ones she played when performing at piano bars, hits by the Eagles, Elton John and The Mamas & the Papas for which she had a fondness. A collection of pop songs, gracious and inspired, sung in her own distinctive way with her technique of setting her voice far ahead, delicate and intense.

RIChARd bOnA & MAndEkAn CUbAnOFirst of all, imagine an artist as talented as Jaco Pastorious, with a voice as fluid as George Benson’s and with Joao Gilberto’s sense of song and harmony, all this set off with African culture, and you have Richard Bona, the « Sting of Africa », honoured in 2004 as « best international artist of the year » at the French annual awards ceremony « Victoires du jazz » and rewarded with the Grand Prix Jazz by the SACEM in 2012: real recognition for this artist who now numbers among the few African musicians to have attained international acclaim.

With his ardent sense of groove and a torrential style of play, with his unrivalled precision, Richard Bona is one of today’s most sought after and talented bass players. At the same time he is pursuing a solo career (6 albums to his name), which has transformed him into a true star in the jazz world, since he is also a songwriter and singer touched by grace. With the combo Mandekan Cubano, he is returning to Juan with a repertoire permeated by Cuban and traditional African music, all deliciously spiced up with the charm of Mandekan words. An exalting mix of cultures, a magnificent contribution to perpetuating the universal language of music.

Concerts in Juan : 2007, 2011, 2012, 2014

SELAh SUEShe has conquered the world with her soul diva voice, her Flemish mane (“that bold, ballooning blond updo”) and gained recognition from peers as prestigious as Prince or Meshell Ndegeocello. Born in Leefdaal, in the suburbs of Louvain, Sanne Putseys chose her stage name as a tribute to “Selah”, a song composed by her idol Lauryn Hill. After her hit single “Raggamuffin”, she then sold one million copies of her first album, released worldwide four years ago.

Wavering with stunning vigour and sensitivity between Amy Winehouse-style retro soul, ranges of electro-soul, trip hop interludes and a multitude of house beats, Selah is ever present with her warm, powerful, deep and slightly rasping voice, sometimes giving a false impression of fragility, extending the notes, evocating the sweetness of a girl from Ipanema, then launching herself into daring harmonic capers with no fear of falling. Impressive in every

way, uncompromising, baring her soul, shy, arousing, bewitching, looking as though butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth.

MARCUS MILLERCrowned with two Grammy® Awards, but also an Edison Award for Lifetime Achievement in Jazz and a «Victoire du Jazz» award in 2013 for the whole of his career in France, Marcus Miller is not only a unique bassist and an extraordinary multi-intrumentalist, he is also a composer and a producer gifted with exceptional talent. The legendary album «Tutu» composed and produced for Miles Davis secured him world fame when he was only 25 years old. A good half-century later, he can well claim to have made a fabulous progression. As the child of the cosmopolitan Big Apple, he learned music in the street of Queens as well as at Manhattan’s famous «High School of Music and Art ».

Headlining at Jazz à Juan in 2009 with Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten, ambassador for the 2010 edition with the

Philharmonic Orchestra of Monte-Carlo, back in 2011 for a superb «Tribute to Miles», then in 2013 with a new album «Renaissance», Marcus Miller delighted last year’s audience in the pine grove with his very special guest: Ibrahim Maalouf. Since 1996 and his first appearance on stage in Juan, has never cease to surprise and astonish spectators, giving his all and winning them over.He is returning to the stage of the Gould pine grove with the compositions of his new album « Afrodeezia», blending jazz, funk and African rhythms.

His concerts Jazz à Juan : 1996, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015.

RObIn MckELLE

Hailing from the States, Robin McKelle is influenced by great names in soul but also sixties divas. Through her we feel the spirit presence of the greatest lady performers: Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner. She is pervasive and her concerts full of energy, generosity and enthusiasm. Desire is a form of energy, energy a form of desire, and while she breathes new life into the standards of the past, she brings it all into the present, working miracles through the simple intonation of single syllables. Her feline voice is relaxed, a warm and powerful contralto, with just the right dose of soul…

In singing at the same concerts as artists such as Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Terence Blanchard and Jon Secada, Robin has a steadily growing number of fans, moved by the happiness she shows in performing, travelling and promoting all the music she loves, with a perfect balance of powerful swing and ballads full of feeling. Far from churning out formatted covers of great classics, the singer proves her

worth as a marvellous writer/composer, compiling a repertoire of catchy and bluesy songs with all the sincerity and temperament of the true spirit of Memphis, hometown to Stax, Otis Redding and Al Green!

Concerts in Juan : 2007, 2012.

PAOLO COnTEHis salt-and-pepper moustache is as internationally famous as his talent! He is known for his husky voice, varying and suggestive, his piano-playing and his face, his nonchalent style tinged with nostalgia, his ironic and melancholic texts and the way he gazes at his audience. Originally he wrote for others, in particular Adriano Celentano, to whom he served up on a silver platter the song Azzurro in 1968. It took until the middle of the next decade for him to decide to go one step further. His first success, Via con me (It’s Wonderful - 1981) was a triumph, as was “Come Di” a few years later.

A mysterious and comical jazzman, crooner, author-composer, conductor, writer, philosopher: a funny little man. No extravagant look often to be found in showbusiness, but an inventiveness which worked wonders in everything he created. As a composer, he gave birth to music which upheld a century of memories (jazz, Latin-American rhythms, blues, rock), while remaining unique. As an author, he vacillated between surrealism and social chronicles, derision and tenderness, creating an atmosphere which charms and bewitches. As an performer, he knows how to be appealing, roguish, jeering and mischevious all in one, using his voice’s potential to the full. He sets all this off with the timeless elegance of those who are beautiful on the inside.

Gospel Night - ecumenical celebration

AMERICAn GOSPEL Jr

Originating from the famous show «100 voices of Gospel» back in 1998, American Gospel Jr - one of today’s most original and acclaimed gospel bands - has never ceased to travel the world to share their love for music, for their fellowmen and for Gospel. Their concert is far more than a simple concert: it is the meeting of form and depth, body and soul, with all the talent and enthusiasm required to make their show a moment of a rare intensity.

Combining tradition and modernity, jazzy rhythms and rich singing, coloured with that religious fervour from which Gospel first sprang, the group happily performs the classics of their repertoire, as well as the eternal and ever popular hits such as «When the Saints Go Marching In» and «Oh Happy Days» and lesser known texts, set to rhythms full of blues, rhythm‘n’blues or soul music. The group is directed by Reverend Jean Carpenter, a generous artist with an impressive vocal range and just as much intense conviction.

JAZZ à JUAn EnCOURAGES RECyCLInG !

In keeping with our commitments for the « Quality Tourism » label, during last year’s festival we welcomed 2 recycling Ambassadors from the CASA network. Their mission: encourage the festival-goers to recycle more using the equipment already in place. In 2015 for the first time, we requested that our recycled waste be quantified and analysed: in total, 1 ton 200 kg were gathered by our

team the Green Brigade, with a refusal rate (wrongly sorted) of 14%, this is the record to be beaten in 2016.This does not include the 14 kg of plastic bottle tops - 4 kg more than the previous year! – collected by the charity organisation Les Bouchons d’Amour 06, who sells them to a manufacturer of recycled objects and 100% of the profits are used to help the handicapped.
