In New York, “THE GETDOWN” means playing music or dancing in an effective and contagious way... and having a good time partying. In Paris, it is a collective led by organist Laurent Coulondre and drummer Arnaud Dolmen.

À New York, "THE GETDOWN" veut dire jouer de la musique ou danser, de manière efficace et contagieuse... et prendre du bon temps à faire la fête. A Paris, c’est un collectif dirigé par l'organiste Laurent Coulondre et le batteur Arnaud Dolmen. Ils sont le coeur battant de cette aventure à géométrie variable.

Une formule totalement inédite et franchement spectaculaire. De l’orgue, de la batterie, du fender, du piano, des claviers... ce groupe réunit d'immenses talents laissant chacun leur égo de côté pour parler musique, connivence et plaisir de jouer ensemble !! C’est un all stars au service du groove et de la fête.

Il y aura de la Guadeloupe, de Cuba, beaucoup de caraïbes, mais aussi bien sûr du swing, du funk, des mélodies, et si l’on devait leur trouver une influence commune, celle, tutélaire et joyeuse, de Michel Petrucciani.
