"Roger Biwandu is a "sharp" drummer both in his playing and in his choices. He offers us a subtle musical return to the past years where groove, swing and performance were essential. Through his compositions, we find ourselves in the very heart of the seventies, on the eastern side of North America, thanks to an elegant reinterpretation of this timeless musical heritage.", Manu Katché
Roger Biwandu reveals to us a music, always inspired by Jazz of the black American tradition, influenced by Africa and the Caribbean and tinged with pop. In short, Roger defines his music as if we were mixing the music of Branford and Wynton Marsalis with that of Michael Jackson.
You see?
An evening for a musician whose name is anchored in the walls of the club: drummer of Chic Hot, Joe Zawinul, Salif Keita…, Roger Biwandu forms a 100% Bordeaux quintet, for a return to the sources.
On the brass, an exceptional duo, both inspired in particular by the legendary Branford and Wynton Marsalis who are also heroes of Roger. Mickaël Chevalier (trumpet/bugle) and Jean-Christophe Jacques (tenor/soprano sax), two magnificent talents who set the tone and color of this "Bordeaux Quintet" whose Jazz music is, as they say, of black American inspiration. On the piano, Hervé Saint-Guirons distils his excellent sense of melody, a refined, subtle playing, and perfect accompaniment. On the double bass, Nolwenn Martin-Leizour, an impeccable tempo, a rare sense of rhythm! Roger Biwandu with his lively playing, his eclectic musical culture, his desire to share and his festive spirit... signs here, a pass of 4 assured with success!
