Dee Dee Bridgewater:Dee Dee Bridgewater:Dee Dee Bridgewater's story is full of projects, encounters and awards. And much more, for Dee Dee is also a committed artist, as in her role as Goodwill Ambassador for Food and Agriculture at the UN.Her history with Marseille Jazz des Cinq Continent is first and foremost a history of jazz, which is inseparable when it comes to stage encounters that have delighted audiences at every appearance by the jazz diva.This year, she returns to Marseilles with We Exist!, a tribute to women and activism, with emblematic songs that bear witness to her struggles. On the program: Mississippi Goddam, composed and performed by Nina Simone, or Trying Times, a song written by Donny Hathaway and Leroy Hutson and performed by the late Roberta Flack, who passed away on February 24, 2025. The Danger Zone, composed by Percy Mayfield and performed by Ray Charles in 1961, which he cleverly “slipped” onto the B-side of his hit single, Hit the road Jack. It was Ray's manifesto to denounce American society's “slow-wittedness” towards the American civil rights movement! Erik Truffaz:For several decades now, Erik Truffaz has been inviting us into a world of curious jazz, churning out a string of compositions, each as sublime as the next. Our “Godfather of Jazz” returns to Marseille Jazz des Cinq Continents with a plunge into his film soundtracks. His first session in 2023 featured two albums, Rollin' and Clap! on Blue Note. And on the black screen of his sleepless nights, we'll be treated to the dreamy credits of Nino Rota, Michel Magne, John Barry, Ennio Morricone, Philippe Sarde and more. On July 12, the Théâtre Silvain will be swinging to the sounds of Truffaz's soundtracks, inviting us into the heart of mythical musical and cinematographic scenes: Philippe Sarde's music in Les choses de la vie and the musical duet between Romy Schneider and Michel Piccoli, the improbable meeting between Jean Gabin and Serge Gainsbourg for Requiem pour un con and the chases of Lord Brett Sinclair and Daniel Wilde to the sound of John Barry's Persuaders Theme in Amicalement Vôtre!And as usual with Erik Truffaz, it won't be a question of covers stricto-sensu, but rather a plunge into his Cinéma Paradiso. And for the occasion, he's called on his best ever film crew, including his long-time cinematographer, Marcello Giuliani, and his horde of genius machinists, Raphaël Chassin, Alexis Anérilles and David Koch!...

Dee Dee Bridgewater:L’histoire de Dee Dee Bridgewater regorge de projets, de rencontres et de récompenses. Et bien au-delà car Dee Dee est aussi une artiste engagée comme dans son rôle d’ambassadrice de bonne volonté pour l’Alimentation et l’Agriculture à l’ONU.Son histoire avec Marseille Jazz des Cinq Continent est avant tout une histoire de jazz indissociable quand il s’agit de rencontres scéniques qui ont fait le bonheur du public à chaque apparition de la diva-jazz.Cette année, elle revient sur ses terres marseillaises avec We Exist!, une création rendant hommage aux femmes et à l’activisme, au travers de titres emblématiques, témoins de ses combats. Au programme : Mississippi Goddam, composé et interprété par Nina Simone ou Trying Times une chanson écrite par Donny Hathaway et Leroy Hutson et interprétée par la regrettée Roberta Flack qui nous a quittés le 24 février 2025. The Danger Zone, composée par Percy Mayfield et interprétée par Ray Charles en 1961 qu’il « glisse » intelligemment en face B de son 45 tours à succès, Hit the road Jack. Un acte manifeste de Ray pour dénoncer « la lenteur d’esprit » de la société américaine envers le mouvement américain des droits civiques ! Erik Truffaz:Erik Truffaz nous invite depuis quelques décennies dans des jazz curieux, égrainant au passage des chapelets de compositions toutes aussi sublimes les unes que les autres. Notre « Godfather of Jazz » revient au Marseille Jazz des Cinq Continents en nous proposant une plongée dans ses bandes originales de films. Sa première séance avait été projetée en 2023 à deux albums, Rollin’ et Clap ! chez Blue Note. Et sur l’écran noir de ses nuits blanches défilera un générique nous laissant rêveur, Nino Rota, Michel Magne, John Barry, Ennio Morricone, Philippe Sarde, etc. Le 12 juillet le Théâtre Silvain va swinguer aux sons des bandes originales de la bande à Truffaz nous invitant au cœur des mythiques scènes musicales et cinématographiques : la musique de Philippe Sarde dans Les choses de la vie et ce duo musical entre Romy Schneider et Michel Piccoli, la rencontre improbable entre Jean Gabin et Serge Gainsbourg pour un Requiem pour un con et des courses poursuites de Lord Brett Sinclair et Daniel Wilde au son de Persuaders Theme de John Barry dans Amicalement Vôtre !Et comme d’habitude avec Erik Truffaz, il ne sera pas question de reprises stricto-sensu mais plutôt d’une plongée dans son Cinéma Paradiso. Et pour l’occasion il a fait appel à sa meilleure équipe de tournage avec son chef-op de toujours, Marcello Giuliani et sa horde de machinaux de génie, Raphaël Chassin, Alexis Anérilles et David Koch !
