All kinds of jazz
A unique and authentic atmosphere

At sunset, on the warm stones of the Roman Theatre, jazz lovers have listened to concerts for 35 years. Between immensity, romanticism and authenticity, every year the magic of music operates in this unique location with a rich history.

The Jazz Carnival of the Animals

The Amazing Keystone Big Band

Conducted by Bastien Ballaz, Jonathan Boutellier, Frédéric Nardin and David Enhco

The 20 musicians of the Amazing Keystone Big Band continue their adventure to make young people and adults aware of jazz and improvised music with a new jazz adaptation of a masterpiece from the classical repertoire: The Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saëns.

Programme: a huge parade throughout the town with several “Second Line” orchestras and more than 300 children from the Rhône-Alpes region, most of whom are musicians. A great musical evening in the Vienne centre with 8 groups influenced by the music of Louisiana, including Leyla Mc Calla, ZeD Brass Band, Too Many Zooz, Jean-Pierre Alessi 6tet, Broken Brass Ensemble, Orchestra Sound System and Soul River.

Dress up to celebrate the carnival!

Fostered in the heart of the New York City subway, Too Many Zooz is a genuine UFO. Although the band is made up of three musicians (Matt Doe on trumpet, Leo P on baritone saxophone, king Of Sludges on drums and percussions), Too Many Zooz is capable of producing an astoundingly powerful sound. This organic music called “Brasshouse” is the musical outcome of a mix of several styles such as jazz, hip hop, gypsy music, soul/funk and their influences. The New York Post speaks of these subway buskers as “the hottest thing in NYC music". As Too Many Zooz grows and continues its way, you might still cross its path from time to time in the world's largest night club: the New York City subway.

This band was created in 2003 to play and revive genuine New Orleans music the way black musicians played it in the 40's: the New Orleans Jazz Revival.

Multi-instrumentalist, this blues woman plays the cello in a very personal way to accompany folky pieces. She is just as happy playing blues on guitar or an old creole song on banjo. Living in Louisiana, she constantly explores traditional jazz and its popular music. Escaped from the Carolina Chocolate Drops group, and Taj Mahal's favourite, cellist and singer Leyla McCalla proposes a solo album as a tribute to a mythical figure of the Harlem Renaissance of the 20's: poet and author Langston Hughes. Her charm and talent carry us away...

Set up in 2012, this band from Lyon was initially made up of eight musicians from several regional groups (Big Band de l’OEUF, Dead Man Orchestra, Les Charentaises De Luxe). With this configuration, the ZeD Brass Band proposes vigorous and groovy music and reinterprets standards of the greatest second line fanfares. With Télep P. Maembel's arrival in the band during the “un doua de jazz” festival, ZeD Brass Band enriched its repertoire with hip hop accents.
