Fuzekine at the Baiser Salé
2024-04-13 19:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Paris) | Le Baiser Salé, 58 rue des Lombards, Paris, 75001, France
With IMEP alumni, pianist Will Alexander

Fuzekin is a jazz band, but it’s mostly three friends who plug in, shake the walls, unplug, and disappear as they arrived. Jazz, groove, electro-metallo-noise… legend has it that they invented noise. Their jungle and nu-soul influences poison the fresh air with jazz harmonies and funk/soul rhythms. A modern and rhythmic music, sometimes hovering, sometimes violent, with and without distortion…

Technobrass + Spoink at the New Morning
2024-04-18 19:30 - 22:30 | New Morning
Release of the new Technobrass EP at New Morning.
The band Spoink is opening the show. With IMEP alumni, drummer, Raphael Milovanovic.
Spoink is the sound of the infinite bounce of a spring that, in chaos, improvises its every move. This quartet from the eastern suburbs of Paris offers generous, improvised and festive music, played with a combination of acoustic and electronic elements. Each performance is unique, and the music is created in real time as the musicians and audience interact. Like an organic DJ set for four, the group uses soundpainting to create its own original codes that are constantly renewed. After a hundred or so concerts, including Rock en Seine, the Fusion Festival in Germany and the Festival Chorus, the band’s aim is to perform at as many festivals in France and abroad as possible.

Kim Melville at Rungis
2024-04-27 20:30 - 22:00 | Ile-de-France
Kim Melville made a name for herself on Instagram through covers, and in autumn 2021 released a debut EP that didn’t go unnoticed.
She loves electric blue, glitter and escaping to Ikea… but don’t be fooled! Kim Melville is no newcomer, and her eyes on the world are no longer those of a child. Singer, guitarist, composer and songwriter, she quickly sets fire to her blues, rock, country, glam, classic rock and even metal-influenced notes.
Surfing styles with ease, she chose the iconic sound of her idols. If Jack White or Alice Cooper are among her references, it’s because, in her opinion, they manage to tackle subjects and tell stories from new angles, while remaining faithful to their universe.
It’s a challenge she’s not afraid to take up, as evidenced by the enigmatic titles of her tracks, “Evil trouble Cupcake” and “Mr My Man”.

With Glenn Ferris, mentor of the 2014 IMEP • Paris College of Music class and Michael Felberbaum, teacher at IMEP.

He has also led numerous personal musical projects featuring his prolific original compositions, ranging from trios to big bands, and from acoustic to electric music.
This new quartet, “NEWTET”, is his first project since before the Covid period, and this music reflects the extremely creative period he enjoyed during the Covid years.
He is accompanied by his faithful acolytes: Bruno Rousselet on bass, Jeff Boudreaux on drums and Michael Felberbaum on guitar.
The music is fresh, energetic, clear and simple, but always with complex and elegant subtleties in the background.
Glenn is a great improviser, exhilarating and imbued with a playful joy and deep-rooted blues influences. These new compositions give him enormous freedom to explore new directions at any time.
