Jazz Au Champs Élysées 2024 année Duke Ellington


Sunday, 7 July, 2024 16:00 (CET)

Duke For Ever Le Blue Rhythm Band avec Claude Tissendier

Petit Jardin des Champs Élysées,  24 Rue de Baudreuil, 02100 Saint-Quentin, Paris, France


Introducing BRB should be insulting the Saint Quentinois: no need to introduce a band when they have recently celebrated their 70th birthday but remain amazingly youthful in their performances. The same with Claude Tissendier, from the Claude Bolling big band to mentoring the BRB, his line has always been excellence, reliability and professionalism.

Petit Jardin des Champs Élysées,  24 Rue de Baudreuil, 02100 Saint-Quentin, Paris, France

Jump For Joy The Big Five 16:00 (CET)


Daniel Duspiwa ts, Hippolyte Fèvre tp, Jack Latimer g, Malte Tönißen b, David Hermlin dm.

The Big Five have established themselves as Berlin’s most authentic swing-era combo. Combining a propulsive rhythm section, a fiery horn-led frontline and dynamic song-arrangements, this international band makes a deep-dive into the lesser-known repertoire of the Swing Golden Age as well as original compositions. They have some incredibly hot players including the irrepressible swing drummer David Hermlin. With their explosive energy and an intense passion for authentic swing-era jazz, these cats will certainly make you Jump for Joy!
