Jazz in Bordeaux: Nasheet Waits, a New York figure at the Cité du Vin
This time, she invites a drummer who has been active for thirty years and has played with, among others, Ron Carter, Branford Marsalis, and Émile Parisien. In this case, Nasheet Waits comes in a duo with his regular pianist, Orrin Evans, in a formula offering maximum freedom. But this shouldn't be free jazz, but rather what follows bebop: music that is rhythmically and harmonically complex but not totally unbridled.

Bordeaux: Jazz & Wine leaves Château Descas for the Cité du Vin
After only four concerts at Quai de Paludate, the Jazz & Wine programmer is ending its partnership with Château Descas, amidst financial strain. While both sides are keen to avoid controversy, they are not hiding their fundamental artistic differences.
To this end, the duo will also be joined on several tracks by guitarist Marc Ducret, a leading figure in the French avant-garde. The concert is also expected to include readings by Martinican poet Frantz Fanon, a pioneer of Third World thought. Nasheet Waits dedicated a record to him in 2013 on the renowned Rogue Art label.
