GLENN FERRIS "NEW-TET"

A major figure on the international jazz scene, Glenn Ferris presents his latest project for the first time at Baiser Salé: the “Newtet”, an electric quartet of raw energy and multiple influences. Renowned for his expressive playing and ability to transcend genres, Glenn Ferris - who has collaborated with giants such as Frank Zappa, Stevie Wonder, Billy Cobham and Archie Shepp - surrounds himself here with three exceptional musicians for a resolutely contemporary musical adventure. On electric bass, Bruno Rousselet, a pillar of the French jazz scene, combines groove, precision and rare musicality. On guitar, Mike Felberbaum, renowned for his sharp harmonic sense and inspired improvisations, infuses rock energy and a burning modernity. Finally, on drums, the powerful and subtle Jeff Boudreaux, a native of New Orleans, makes the roots of Afro-American groove resonate through every strike. The “Newtet” repertoire blends original compositions with bold rereadings of Ray Charles, Bob Marley, Gino Vannelli and other iconic figures. The result is a unique patchwork of sounds, at the crossroads of jazz, blues, eclectic rock, reggae, Afro-beat and Caribbean grooves. A rare concert, an intense and jubilant musical journey, carried by four artists at the top of their game. Not to be missed!
