Portico Quartet / Romain Morello Sextet

Romain Morello Sextet
Head of the jazz department of the Marseille Conservatory, trombonist and arranger Romain Morello brings together five excellent jazzmen from the regional scene. Through arrangements of repertoires from the 50s to the 70s, they interpret together the tradition in a contemporary language. Trained in the sounds of the Big Bands and Jazz Messengers, Romain Morello combines the voices of three virtuoso blowers with a roaring rhythm section to create a powerful collective energy.

Portico Quartet
Portico Quartet is still a group impossible to categorize. Their journey through the major labels over the course of their 9 albums proves it. They are four - Jack Wyllie, Milo Fitzpatrick, Duncan Bellamy, and Keir Vine - they are British and masters of improvisation. If they often infiltrate repetitive music close to electro, they know how to skillfully evolve on the freshness of intuition. The result is unique concerts where the atmosphere is primordial and powerful. It is on stage that Le Portico practices its science of the bewitchment.
