Xavier Belin at the Baiser Salé
After a first season that won us over, Xavier Belin is back with a second season of his “Pléonasme” concept.
Named by TSF Jazz as the “new star of Caribbean jazz”, Xavier Belin is a very promising young pianist. His music is often defined as “Caribbean jazz”, “Creole jazz” or “Afro-descendant jazz”, as these terms make his music quickly identifiable. However, the pianist’s music shows us that these terms are merely pleonasms, since these musical styles are derived from the same essence.
During this residency, Xavier Belin will present a repertoire of jazz standards from Martinique, Reunion, Haiti and Trinidad…
Program: Thierry Fanfant, Jean-Philippe Fanfant, Swaeli Mbappé, Michel Alibo, Tilo Bertholo, Ranto An’i Avo Rakotomalala, Arnaud Dolmen, Sonny Troupé, Lukmil Perez, Samuel F’Hima, Yann Villageois…
Created in 2012, the #JazzDeDemain slot has given rise to a series of monthly and bimonthly residencies, enabling young artists to experiment on stage, honing a repertoire, while presenting it to the public. A promising niche where creativity and emulsion know no bounds. #BeCurious!
