Xavier Belin & Baptiste Poulin at the Sunside
2025-03-19 21:30 - 23:30 (Europe/Paris) | Sunside Sunset, 60 rue des Lombards, Paris, 75001
The brainchild of saxophonist Baptiste Poulin and pianist Xavier Belin, Crossing is a French jazz duo.
This group has been influenced by many legendary duos such as Lee Konitz and Martial Solal, or Brad Mehldau and Joshua Redman. Crossing takes us on a musical journey where interaction, listening and creativity are at the heart of their play. Their music is an invitation to enter the creative intimacy of two musicians working together.
Crossing can be translated as crossing, the crossing of two roads or two ideas. The result of a crossing is always something new. Crossing is the meeting between Xavier’s highly syncopated, motivating and stable playing and Baptiste’s virtuoso, lyrical and moving playing. The crossing between the warm timbre of the saxophone and the round and percussive sound of the piano. A blend of memories of the lush green Burgundy countryside and the bright, flowery landscapes of Martinique.

Xavier Belin – piano
Baptiste Poulin – sax alto

Imagine Heart of Darkness crossed with Mars Attacks, told in the language of super-powered funk-rock and driven by grooves worthy of Zargon VII.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Katoum at the Disquaires
2025-04-05 20:00 - 22:00 | Les Disquaires, 4-6 rue des Taillandiers, Paris, 75011, France
A cultural melting pot! Katoum is a project created in 2021 by drummer Nouhem Charliac.
His initial idea was to blend cultures and the styles he particularly likes, as well as the traditional and the modern, to create a solar music that reflects his inspirations. His love of Creole music led him to meet guitarist and singer Timothée, originally from Cape Verde, and saxophonist and keyboardist Lucas, who is passionate about Afro-inspired music. After a few line-up changes, they will be joined by bassist Alexandra. Katoum’s music is danceable and tasty, with powerful vocals often sung in Cape Verdean Portuguese Creole. The group’s themes include cross-breeding, the history and impact of Creolisation, and the simple things in life.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Julie Erikssen Quartet at the Deux Magots
2025-04-10 19:30 - 22:30 | Les Deux Magots, 6 place Saint Germain des Prés, Paris, 75006, France
Maurice Ravel’s impressionistic melodies awakened Julie Erikssen’s love of music from an early age. This budding passion led her to take piano lessons at the conservatoire from the age of five, and to sign her first recording contract with Sony Music at the age of 19.
On stage, under the guidance of mentors, she immerses herself in the fascinating world of bebop. Endowed with an impressive natural swing and a modern ear, Julie is often invited to collaborate on projects with such emblematic figures as Manu Katché, Ali Jackson, Hadrien Féraud, Médéric Collignon, Laurent Courthaliac, Sam Tessier and Julian Caetano. All have been won over by her authenticity, artistic rigour and soulful presence. She became the first woman to host jam sessions at the legendary Duc des Lombards jazz club. Although she often accompanies herself on piano and guitar, she is always surrounded by top-class musicians.

After his first album, Végétale danse, Houn is back in the studio to record and film 5 live covers of cult songs in French and English, totally revisited.

Gypsy at La Philarmonie de Paris
2025-04-16 20:00 - 23:00 | La Philarmonie de Paris, 221 avenue Jean Jaurès, Paris, Sélectionner un État :, 75019, France
Never before heard on French stages, the musical Gypsy, based on the memoirs of Gypsy Lee Rose, is presented in a version created by one of the great names in musical direction, Laurent Pelly.
Although he has also worked for the theatre, it is mainly in the field of opera and musicals that Laurent Pelly has made a name for himself, sometimes designing not only the staging but also the costumes and set design for his productions. A regular collaborator with the national operas in Paris and Lyon, the director has set his sights on Gypsy, a work considered to be a masterpiece of the musical comedy genre in the United States. Based on the autobiographical novel by Gypsy Lee Rose, a stripper who became famous in the 1930s, it tells the sad story of a mother consumed by a desire for fame that leads her to push her two daughters into the spotlight. But the girls have ambitions of their own… Jule Styne, Arthur Laurents and Steven Sondheim create a work of intensely jazzy colour and bittersweet atmosphere that bears witness to the end of an era.
