Cookin' With Gerald Clayton

At the end of 2018, pianist Alix Logiaco and saxophonist Florian Marques decided to create the “Cookin' With” project, driven by the same idea of re-appropriating the mainstream jazz language of the 1950s and 1960s.

Drawing on their experience with Rémy Labbé's Bop Mood Quintet and, in particular, a sextet concert at the Chorus Jazz Club in Lausanne with Pierrick Pédron as guest of honour, they intend to make “Cookin' With” a flexible group whose vocation is to explore the musical universe of the artists who made the great hours of hard bop and current jazz.

On January 7 at 38Riv, they'll be performing a program based on the music of eminent American pianist Gerald Clayton, with a crack team of musicians!
