“NINA SIMONE, WILD AS THE WIND”
TRIBUTE TO NINA SIMONE
Tamara Geerts (vocals), Anne Wolf (piano), Sal La Rocca (bass), Thierry Gutmann (drums)
A promising young classical pianist hoping to become America’s first black classical pianist, Nina Simone was turned down at the prestigious Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. It is 1950 and racial segregation is raging. The young woman's humiliation and disappointment fueled all of her activist thinking and her artistic journey. Associated with the movement in favor of the civil rights of the black American population and those of women, friend of Martin Luther King, Nina Simone is above all a free spirit. She fights, at the risk of her life, armed with her only music and her authenticity to make the voices of minorities heard.
Crossing anthology songs between blues, jazz, gospel, and inspired monologues, this project is a powerful tribute to this complete artist with multiple identities, unclassifiable, nourished by lost hopes, inextinguishable force, distractions and rage. The music of Nina Simone, whom she herself considered to be a “soundtrack from a troubled era”, is placed there in the socio-political context which underlies it, in order to better understand the realities of the time, realities of today ...

The quartet presents its first album, Chapitre I, recorded at Igloo Recorded Studio and published by the label Dodicilune. Every track is a narrative frame and an investigation of rhythm and harmony searching for a new and original orchestral relation among traditional gipsy jazz instruments.

This band was put together by drummer Stéphane Roger in 1989. Although during the 30 years of its existence, the band has undergone very few changes, other excellent musicians continue to officiate with Megaswing today. Their complicity, even perfect understanding, as well as the loyal friendship that unites them all adds an undeniable quality to their music that we have very often been able to appreciate in the best clubs in Paris such as the Jazz Café Montparnasse, the Jazz Club Etoile at the Hôtel Méridien, the "Jazz en mer" (TMR) cruises, without forgetting the mythical Caveau de la Huchette where they have been making lindy hoppers, jitterbuggers, swingers dance almost every Sunday for 30 years, without faltering! Their repertoire is a clever mix of Swing and Soul music, composed of standards (Gershwin, Richard Rodgers in particular) but also of songs that are played much less often.

THE SHELLY'S BROTHERS
Alexis Nootens (guitar), Aristide D'Agostino (trumpet), Maayan Smith (sax), Martin Méreau (vibes), Jeremy Dumont (piano), Jos Machtel (bass), Armando Luongo (drums)
The Shelly's Brothers were born under the initiative of trumpeter Aristide D'Agostino and
guitarist Alexis Nootens. Both came to realize after 5 years of passionate bromance, that they shared, in addition to friendship, a love for a forgotten jazz record. The latter, sometimes called "My Son The Jazz Drummer", sometimes called "Steps To The Desert" is an album by drummer Shelly Manne which pays homage to Jewish music. Indeed, the music consists of a West Coast/ Hard Bop adaptation of the magnificent Jewish musical folklore. Therefore, the two friends decided to pay tribute to this great album in it's entirety, surrounding themselves with the best jazz musicians of Brussels!

BRUCE ELLISON & THE JELLODIES TRIBUTE TO FATS WALLER AND LOUIS ARMSTRONG
Bruce Ellison (vocals), Druss Lecomte (piano,vocals), Patrick Louis (guitar-vocals), Guillaume Durieux (bass,vocals)
Bruce Ellison began as a mime and voice-over for television, as well as in musical comedies in Indiana, USA. In 1986, after attending the Marcel Marceau International Mime School in Paris, Bruce founds the Mandragore Theatre Co. with Michel Carcan in Brussels. The troup creates the mimodrama, 'The Strange Mr. Knight', to international acclaim. Currently Bruce does voice work for radio, cinema, and children's tv programs. He is also the singer of rock group PPZ30. With The Jellodies, Bruce Ellison is certainly the best tribute to the wonderful Thomas « Fats » Waller… Pat Louis (guitar/vocals) is the "missing link" between blues and jazz with a style marked by Freddie Green, Tiny Grimes, and legendary electric guitar pioneer Charlie Christian ; Druss Lecomte (piano/vocals) has a lively style that evokes Count Basie’s or Nat King Cole’s swing, Thomas “Fats” Waller’s and James P. Johnson’s stride, all with a touch of humor reminiscent of Erroll Garner ; Guillaume Durieux (upright bass/vocals) is renowned for his high slap technique..
The Jellodies combines swing, jive, hot jazz and rhythm ‘n blues, with a line-up similar to Cole’s trio, Basie’s rhythm section, or Willie Dixon’s Big Three Trio. If you want to hear real hot jazz and swing the way it was played in the 30's and 40's, this band is what it's all about! Come and discover their unique groove! The alchemy which rises from the meeting between Bruce Ellison and The Jellodies is absolutely magic..!
