Airelle Besson | Sternal | Burgwinkel Trio at Theatre-senart, National Scene

Emotion and musicality. Multi-distinguished trumpeter Airelle Besson - associate artist at the Théâtre - is back with the cream of German jazz, pianist Jonas Burgwinkel and drummer Sebastian Sternal. Since their first Chet Baker project, the trio has been enjoying playing dreamy, invigorating compositions. On stage, their spontaneous improvisations are another source of chemistry. “Let's surprise ourselves”, they declare before each concert. For this evening, the trio is joined by a deaf actress, Clémence Colin, who “narrates” the concert in French sign language. Because beyond the sound, the music gives images to see, feelings to feel. A new resonance for the jazz of Airelle Besson, whose new album comes out this autumn....

Emotion and musicality. Multi-distinguished trumpeter Airelle Besson - associate artist at the Théâtre - is back with the cream of German jazz, pianist Jonas Burgwinkel and drummer Sebastian Sternal. Since their first Chet Baker project, the trio has been enjoying playing dreamy, invigorating compositions. On stage, their spontaneous improvisations are another source of chemistry. “Let's surprise ourselves”, they declare before each concert. For this evening, the trio is joined by a deaf actress, Clémence Colin, who “narrates” the concert in French sign language. Because beyond the sound, the music gives images to see, feelings to feel. A new resonance for the jazz of Airelle Besson, whose new album comes out this autumn.

Émotion et musicalité. La trompettiste multi-distinguée Airelle Besson - artiste associée au Théâtre - est de retour avec la fine fleur du jazz allemand, le pianiste Jonas Burgwinkel et le batteur Sebastian Sternal. Depuis leur premier projet autour de Chet Baker, le trio se régale à jouer des morceaux dans des compositions oniriques et toniques. Sur scène, l’alchimie naît aussi de leur spontanéité à improviser. "Let’s surprise ourselves" se lancent-ils avant chaque concert. Pour cette soirée, le trio est rejoint par une comédienne sourde, Clémence Colin, qui "raconte" le concert en langue des signes française. Car au-delà du son, la musique donne à voir des images, des sentiments à ressentir. Une résonance nouvelle pour le jazz d’Airelle Besson, dont le nouvel album sort à l’automne.
