A major figure on the international jazz scene, Glenn Ferris presents his brand new project for the first time at Le Baiser Salé: the ‘Newtet’, an electric quartet with raw energy and multiple influences. Known for his expressive playing and his ability to transcend genres, Glenn Ferris – who has collaborated with giants such as Frank Zappa, Stevie Wonder, Billy Cobham and Archie Shepp – is joined here by three exceptional musicians for a resolutely contemporary musical adventure.

On electric bass, Bruno Rousselet, a pillar of the French jazz scene, combines groove, precision and rare musicality. On guitar, Mike Felberbaum, renowned for his sharp harmonic sense and inspired improvisations, infuses the music with rock energy and a burning modernity. Finally, on drums, the powerful and subtle Jeff Boudreaux, a native of New Orleans, resonates the roots of African-American groove with every beat.

The Newtet’s repertoire combines original compositions with bold reinterpretations of Ray Charles, Bob Marley, Gino Vannelli and other iconic figures. The result is a unique soundscape, blending jazz, blues, eclectic rock, reggae, Afrobeat and Caribbean grooves.

A rare concert, an intense and exhilarating musical journey, performed by four artists at the peak of their artistry. Not to be missed under any circumstances!
