Men In Bop

Every Sunday and Monday, la Rhumerie brings you together for a jazz evening that revives the tradition of St Germain des prés during the fifties, and offers a selection of rums and West Indian cuisine (surcharge + € 1 per order on concert days).

What is more beautiful than a tenor saxophone sound? Two tenor saxophone sounds!!
Two tenors who dialogue, challenge each other in friendly jousts or sound in chorus, this formula has inspired many great saxophonists throughout the history of jazz. It is from this tradition that Olivier Defays and Philippe Chagne draw inspiration

Accompanied by Philippe Petit on the organ and Yves Nahon on the drums, they evolve within a small formation that leaves room for spontaneity (improvised dialogues, solos) but also for the work of writing (harmonization of melodies, counterpoint).
