Carte Blanche Jeanne Michard

1st Set : Jeanne Michard Latin 5tet :
Following three trips to Latin America, Cuba and New York, and encounters in various projects, Jeanne Michard decided to set up her own band and devise a repertoire in keeping with her primary influences: jazz, Latin and Afro-Cuban music.

Her compositions blend traditional rhythms with the cadences and phrasing attributed to the bebop jazz of the 40s. She has teamed up with pianist Clément Simon, double bassist Maurizio Congiu and percussionists Natascha Rogers and Pedro Barrios for her first album, 'Songes transatlantiques', in which she revisits her travels through music, combining percussion with harmonies reminiscent of traditional jazz. 

2nd Set : Jodie's Mood Project
A fan of jazz clubs and jam sessions, Jeanne Michard quickly came into contact with the cream of the Paris jazz scene when she started out around 7 years ago. She ended up playing regularly with musicians from the Zoot Collectif and the Paris Jazz Sessions, among others. Surrounded by all these talented musicians, it was at this point that she felt the urge to write for a medium-sized band.
