Grégory Privat and Jacques Schwarz-Bart were both born on December 22, 22 years apart. They have played together for the last 22 years. Join them at An die Musik Live for their Baltimore debut to celebrate this serendipitous milestone! \nHailing from the two sister islands of the French Antilles, Martinique and Guadeloupe, they represent two generations of pioneers in Afro-Caribbean jazz. Their distinct musical visions, which evolved in symbiosis through many previous collaborations, now culminate in the duo recording “22” (Buddham Jazz, 2025), featured by Radio France Interntionale (RFI) and French jazz station TSF. \nThe music is both sophisticated and devoid of artifice. In the absence of drums, Privat (piano) and Schwarz-Bart (saxophones) transpose the multidimensional rhythmic language into their fingers and their breathing. An astonishing command of rhythm allows the duo to deconstruct and reconstruct traditional patterns. Foundational material serves as fertile ground where melodic and harmonic colors come together. Drawing from the French impressionists, Gwoka and Belè chants, the processions of New Orleans, Senegal, and even the Middle East, the duo brings a refreshing, contrasting palette to create “22”: a magical, sui generis universe. \nBiographical info at www.gregoryprivat.com and https://brotherjacques.com \nProgramming made possible by the Centre Louis Marin (Johns Hopkins Univ.) with the generous support of the French Embassy in the United States. \nIn-person seats: $30 / $10 full-time students with valid ID\nAttendees receive a link to the recording to view for one week.\nAdvance sales end 1 hr before showtime; remaining tickets may be purchased at door. \nStreaming Cost is $15\nThe link will be revealed 15 minutes before the show\nand will remain active for one week. \nDonations Welcome! \n::concert, An die Musik LIVE!::In-person, Live-streamed, Indoor
