Manuel Rocheman & Olivier Ker Ourio
2025-08-26 21:00 - 22:30 | Sunside Sunset, 60 rue des Lombards, Paris, 75001
Double entente, connivance, complicity, an almost telepathic relationship, a free flow of energy, the same wavelength – these are the words and expressions that characterise the affinities that link Manuel and Olivier in their friendly conversation. The result, without the support of a rhythm section, is a dialogue of complete confidence, with no net or artifice, never a duel, where the two accomplices do not allow themselves to escape from their presence. Here the exchange is never reduced to a simple succession of lines, but is lived in the very movement of the music. At the same time, on the edge of the moment, they listen to each other, they talk to each other, in short, they get along perfectly. Always on the lookout, the pianist accompanies, anticipates and extends Olivier’s undulating vocals with great intelligence and sensitivity. Manuel is well versed in the art of hitting the right notes, placing the chords exactly where the harmonica player needs them to breathe.

Garance Tout Court at Hasard Ludique
2025-09-02 20:00 - 22:00 | Le Hasard Ludique, 128 avenue de Saint Ouen, Paris, 75018, France
In November 2024, Garance Tout Court, singer-actress-songwriter, released the track ‘JVS’ on streaming platforms.
In this poignant, not to say deeply moving track, Garance revisited the classic ‘I Will Survive’ with piano and vocals, describing a terribly toxic and traumatic relationship from which she managed to free herself despite the hold it had over her and the shock she suffered as a result. At the heart of this piano-voice performance, she incorporated into the music a voice message left by her ex-partner/abuser, in which he apologises for his misdeeds, tries to dissuade her from pressing charges, and implicitly admits to the abuse.
Within a few hours, the clip was shared on social media by numerous individuals, followed by a call for witnesses, which enabled other victims (former partners and/or colleagues of this man) to recognise the voice of their common abuser and contact Garance to offer their support and testify to the violence perpetrated by this man against them. Other women and men also came forward to report harassment or inappropriate behaviour by the same man, who was known as a musician on the Paris scene and owned a music studio in the Paris region.
After only a few days, Garance’s song was taken down from streaming platforms under pressure from her attacker, who also filed a complaint against Garance for ‘invasion of privacy.’
By releasing this song, Garance not only freed herself from a secret that had paralysed her for two years, but she also enabled other victims to break their silence and other potential victims to protect themselves from the dangerous and manipulative nature of this man, who used his profession as a musician, arranger and producer to collaborate with female musicians and approach them more easily.
Together, Garance, Moeun, Jemina, and myself, who wishes to remain anonymous, filed a complaint for rape, spousal abuse, psychological violence, and invasion of privacy against the same perpetrator.
We are launching a fundraising campaign, as well as this concert, in order to raise funds to help us pay our legal fees for our joint complaint, as well as to pay the legal fees of Garance, who is the subject of a complaint for ‘invasion of privacy’ by this man, who, in addition to not acknowledging his guilt for the assaults he committed, is demanding indecent sums of money from his victim.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
Program :
⭐8 p.m.: Jesa (first part)
⭐ 8:30 p.m.: Garance tout court, accompanied by two other complainants (Jemina on piano and Moeun on violin) and supporting musicians.
⭐ 10 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.: DJ SET by Flore Benguigui
CHARITY CONCERT to raise funds for the legal fees of Garance Tout Court, Moeun Son, Jemina, and *anonymous*.

#Duojazz Nils Josselin / Faniry Andrianarisoa
2025-09-04 19:30 - 23:00 | Le Baiser Salé, 58 rue des Lombards, Paris, 75001, France
Skate 3001 is the daring encounter between Nils Josselin‘s guitar and Faniry Andrianarisoa’s drums: an inventive duo with original compositions, combining jazz, trippy rock and rhythmic freedom.
A guitar-drum duo, minimalist in form yet rich in intent. With Skate 3001, guitarist Nils Josselin and drummer Faniry Andrianarisoa have created a bold, free and surprising soundscape. Composed exclusively of original pieces, Skate 3001‘s repertoire is the result of a year of in-depth work, begun as part of Nils Josselin’s DEM at the CRR in Paris. A young guitarist on the rise who has already performed at several leading venues on the jazz scene, Nils’ playing draws as much on the classical tradition, in the style of Francisco Tárrega, as on the modern soundscapes of Bill Frisell. At the crossroads of jazz, psychedelic rock and chamber music, his guitar becomes a complete instrument: melodic, percussive and textural. In dialogue with him is Faniry Andrianarisoa, a Franco-Malagasy drummer who is very active on the Parisian scene and has distinguished himself in numerous jazz, groove and Afro groups with his rare rhythmic sensitivity and infectious energy. Also a regular at Le Baiser Salé, he brings to this duo all his interpretative richness and sense of narrative.

Anne Paceo "Atlantis" / Donny Mccaslin + Ishkero
2025-09-04 20:00 - 21:30 | La Philarmonie de Paris, 221 avenue Jean Jaurès, Paris, Sélectionner un État :, 75019, France
An evening to celebrate the most elegant hybrids of jazz, rock and electronica, with an unprecedented collaboration between American saxophonist Donny McCaslin and the Parisian group Ishkero – winner of the Talents Adami Jazz 2025 prize – and a new creation by drummer and composer Anne Paceo, immersed in the ocean’s currents.
1/ Donny McCaslin + Ishkero
An electric quintet formed over ten years ago in Paris, Ishkero spent a long time honing their modern groove before recording their first album. Released in 2023 to enthusiastic critical acclaim, Shama follows in the footsteps of the progressive rock that emerged in the late 1960s. Between hypnotic tracks and psychedelic sweetness, the group uses its powerful cohesion to explore a music that is open to its time. This talent has not escaped the notice of saxophonist Don McCaslin, who has made electric fusions the common thread running through his latest albums, bearing witness to the turn taken by the American musician since 2014 and his collaboration on David Bowie’s Blackstar. Along with the jury of the Talents Adami Jazz 2025 scheme, Don McCaslin has chosen Ishkero to create an original live show with him, presented exclusively on the stages of three partner festivals, including Jazz à la Villette. The promise of a feverish encounter between jazz and rock.
2/ Anne Paceo “Atlantis”
Drummer and composer Anne Paceo has come a long way since the release of her debut album in 2008. Over and above the numerous awards and the radiant success, it’s the breadth of musical openness and the originality of the projects the musician has worked on over the years that impress. Her organic, abundant and generous style extends to the frontiers of jazz, pop and electronic music, spurred on by her curiosity for the sounds and cultures of the world. Anne Paceo returns today to unveil Atlantis, her 8th album, just a few days after its release on 29 August. In it, the composer explores her relationship with the ocean, inspired by the legend of Atlantis – the mythical island sunk by the wrath of Zeus – but also by her experience of scuba diving and the tales of solo sailors. Electronics, keyboards, rhythms, blowers and vocals flow in warm, powerful currents.
