Joanne Dolly Quartet at Le Baiser Sale

Joanne Dolly is a bundle of energy straight from Martinique who sets Paris alight with her voice, double bass, and flute.

Joanne Dolly, c’est une boule d’énergie qui vient tout droit de Martinique et qui fait vibrer Paris avec sa voix, sa contrebasse et sa flûte. Élevée dans le gospel, le jazz et les musiques afro-caribéennes, elle balance un groove à la fois profond et libre, où chaque note sonne comme une déclaration. Installée à Paris, elle retourne les clubs avec un style bien à elle, puissant et sensible. Elle transforme chaque concert en expérience collective : une fête, un cri, une prière. Sur scène, c’est du feu : elle improvise, elle raconte, elle fait swinguer sa contrebasse comme si c’était une extension de sa voix. Inspirée par des grandes voix comme Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan ou Esperanza Spalding, elle trace pourtant sa propre route, entre poésie brute et énergie solaire. Elle a partagé la scène avec des musiciens comme Bernard Vidal, Benjamin Thiébault ou encore Bastien Rigolle, et s’inscrit dans une filiation où le jazz croise la soul et les rythmes caribéens. Joanne Dolly, c’est une présence qui électrise, un sourire qui embarque, et une musique qui claque droit au cœur.
