World Musette jazz Trio | accordion, doublebass & percussions

The rue de Tanger, in the northern edge of Paris, near the boulevards La Villette and La Chapelle, traverses some the last remaining working class and truly multicultural neighbourhoods in the city today. Here we find men and women from all horizons, all social classes and all cultures; shopkeepers and undocumented migrants, artisans and criminals, retired industrial workers and yuppies, organic supermarkets and halal butchers. It’s also on this street, specifically at the number 8, where existed one of the most renowned ‘bal musette’ : le Tourbillon. Opened in 1926, ‘Le ‘Tourb’ (for the regulars) was home to the biggest names in accordion music and French Chanson of the time. It symbolises the mythical working-class Paris of the period between the wars as well as the liberation. It is for these reasons no surprise that the three artists chose to give their music the name of this small road in the 19th district. Over and above the multiculturalism that it symbolises, the cultural heritage that it bears, the rue de Tanger invites the listener on a voyage of discovery. A trip towards a land where accordions mix with the drums of Africa and the Orient, where Valse Musette trysts with Algerian Chaâbi. Round these parts, Jo Privat has a meeting with Farid El Atrache , or Tony Murena with Toumani Diabaté. Over and above a simple meeting between three musicians over a shared musical recipe, Rue de Tanger brings the public towards a place where music reflects the struggle for a world which continues to believe in the virtues of exchange, of discovery and of working together towards a common destiny.

Né de la rencontre de quatre musiciens lorrains, Cactus4tet s'est naturellement inscrit dans la courte mais dense tradition des quartets de jazz.  Le confinement? Un coup de massue mais aussi l'occasion de préciser leur ambition commune: développer les potentialités d'échanges du quartet en s'ancrant dans le jazz du XXIème siècle (Brad Mehldau, Christian Scott, Tigran Hamasyan). Abordant l'interplay dans ses nombreuses dimensions, Cactus4tet sonde des directions, pistes et perspectives pour échapper au fatalisme d'une vision cloisonnée de la musique et des choses et ainsi, comme nous y invitait Newton, construire entre nous et autour plus de ponts que de murs.
