It's going to be loud, fast, free and without a net. François Constantin invites you to join him for a special Jazz Fusion jam session, with a first hour of concert in a tight but formidably effective formation. At his side are three musicians with impressive backgrounds and infectious energy: Christophe Cravero, on piano and violin, capable of bringing out both lyricism and fire; Michel Alibo, groove monster, historic bassist with the group Sixun and a central figure in the genre; Stéphane Huchard, drummer with a cutting edge, always on the edge between power and precision. Together, they revisit the spirit of jazz fusion, a movement born in the late ‘60s in the tradition of Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew period, early Weather Report and Mahavishnu Orchestra. The music borrows its raw energy from rock, its syncopated rhythms from funk, and its taste for improvisation and collective play from jazz. In France, the genre has also found its voice with groups like Sixun and Prysm, whose members, including Michel Alibo, have left their mark on several generations. A music of freedom, sometimes excess, but always of dialogue and code-breaking. After this first quartet section, the stage opens up for jamming. The fusion continues, this time with musicians from the audience. No rules, except that of listening and daring......

Ça va jouer fort, vite, libre et sans filet. François Constantin vous donne rendez-vous pour une jam session spéciale Jazz Fusion, avec une première heure de concert en formation resserrée mais redoutablement efficace. À ses côtés, trois musiciens au parcours impressionnant et à l’énergie communicative : Au piano et au violon, Christophe Cravero, capable de faire jaillir aussi bien le lyrisme que le feu ; Michel Alibo, monstre de groove, bassiste historique du groupe Sixun, figure centrale du genre ; Stéphane Huchard, batteur au jeu tranchant, toujours sur le fil entre puissance et précision. Ensemble, ils revisitent l’esprit du jazz fusion, ce courant né à la fin des années 60, dans la lignée de Miles Davis période Bitches Brew, des premiers Weather Report, ou encore de Mahavishnu Orchestra. Une musique qui emprunte au rock son énergie brute, au funk ses rythmes syncopés, et au jazz son goût pour l’improvisation et le jeu collectif. En France, le genre a aussi trouvé sa voix avec des groupes comme Sixun ou Prysm, dont les membres, dont Michel Alibo, ont marqué plusieurs générations. Une musique de liberté, d’excès parfois, mais toujours de dialogue et de rupture des codes. Après cette première partie en quartet, la scène s’ouvre à la jam. Place aux échanges, aux rencontres impromptues, aux combinaisons inattendues : la fusion continue, cette fois avec les musicien·ne·s du public. Aucune règle, sauf celle de l’écoute et de l’audace..
