Hold on tight: with Boris on saxophone and his accomplices Levi, Philippe, and Joachim, Trane Lives delivers an electrifying tribute to John Coltrane, featuring cascading notes, incandescent grooves, and musical roller coasters that will leave your ears ringing and a smile on your face. Get ready for a breath of fresh jazz air! Behind his saxophone, Boris Blanchet combines power, lyricism, and that little bit of madness that raises eyebrows from the very first notes. He is known for his adventures with big bands and his competition prizes that shine like medals, but tonight he comes with a beating heart and incandescent breath. And, as he himself says: “Without wanting to brag, I think we've got something powerful going on playing this music with this group.” And what a group! On piano, Levi Harvey sends cascades of notes, sometimes sparkling, sometimes volcanic; on drums, Philippe Gleizes plays the mad clockmaker, alternating surgical precision with thunderous blows; on double bass, Joachim Govin keeps the beat like a V8 engine, solid and supple at the same time. Together, they form Trane Lives and dive into the fiery world of John Coltrane: it grooves, it soars, it takes off! The choruses are roller coasters, the silences sweat as much as the notes, and each solo makes you want to say, “Come on, one more!” An evening to leave with your ears blown away and a smile on your face....

Accrochez-vous : avec Boris au sax et ses complices Levi, Philippe et Joachim, Trane Lives balance un hommage survolté à John Coltrane, entre cascades de notes, grooves incandescents et montagnes russes musicales qui vous laisseront les oreilles décoiffées et le sourire aux pommettes. Préparez-vous à une bonne bouffée de jazz qui décoiffe ! Derrière son saxophone, Boris Blanchet, mélange puissance, lyrisme et cette petite folie qui fait lever les sourcils dès les premières notes. On le connaît pour ses aventures avec les grands orchestres et ses prix de concours qui brillent comme des médailles, mais ce soir, il vient en mode cœur battant et souffle incandescent. Et, comme il le dit lui-même : « Et sans me la raconter, je pense que l’on tient quelque chose de fort à jouer cette musique avec ce groupe ». Et quel groupe ! Au piano, Levi Harvey envoie des cascades de notes tantôt scintillantes, tantôt volcaniques ; à la batterie, Philippe Gleizes joue l’horloger fou, alternant précision chirurgicale et coups de tonnerre ; à la contrebasse, Joachim Govin tient la pulsation comme un moteur V8, solide et souple à la fois. Ensemble, ils forment Trane Lives et plongent dans l’univers brûlant de John Coltrane : ça groove, ça plane, ça décolle ! Les chorus sont des montagnes russes, les silences transpirent autant que les notes, et chaque solo donne envie de se dire : “Allez, encore un !”. Une soirée pour ressortir les oreilles décoiffées et le sourire jusqu’aux pommettes.
