Jazz, its history and the show
Born of a blend of African, European and Caribbean influences, jazz emerged in the 1920s in Louisiana, inspired by blues and ragtime. This innovative style has left its mark on the history of music and culture the world over, thanks to its originality, its capacity for improvisation and its social and political role. More than just music, it’s a musical dialogue between artists that embodies humanist values such as mutual respect and collective creativity.
Just as the first jazz musicians used instruments from military bands(brass, percussion) to create rhythmic, syncopated and improvised music, the musicians of We call it Jazz will make their instruments sing under the lucky star of jazz. With a glass in your hand, immerse yourself in the hushed ambience of New Orleans for the duration of a concert.
After having been dazzled by dance in the show We call it Flamenco, it’s Jazz that’s taking over Bordeaux. Pay homage to or discover this timeless genre in a perfectly adapted setting.
