Maceo Le Fournis at Le Baiser Sale

Led by saxophonist and composer Maceo Le Fournis, the project is part of a modern, free, and resolutely melodic electric jazz movement. At 26, Maceo has developed a musical style marked by the Californian and African-American aesthetics of the 1980s, somewhere between the legacy of jazz fusion, precise composition, and open spaces for improvisation. The central idea of the project is groove and group sound: lively, energetic music designed for live performance, where strong themes serve as a starting point for spontaneous exchanges. The author of two singles, David (feat. Hadrien Féraud) and Shine, Maceo regularly collaborates with major figures in jazz and fusion such as Gary Novak, Mokhtar Samba, Yoann Schmidt, and Hadrien Féraud, gradually establishing a personal and contemporary universe.On stage, the project takes shape with Alexandre Bilé on bass, Julien Roger on drums, Noé Chantraine on keyboards, and Fabrice Le Fournis on guitar, a solid and close-knit line-up that gives the music its collective and organic dimension. ...

Porté par le saxophoniste et compositeur Maceo Le Fournis, le projet s’inscrit dans un jazz électrique moderne, libre et résolument mélodique. À 26 ans, Maceo développe une musique marquée par les esthétiques californiennes et afro-américaines des années 80, quelque part entre l’héritage du jazz fusion, une écriture précise et des espaces d’improvisation ouverts. L’idée centrale du projet est le groove et le son de groupe : une musique vivante, énergique, pensée pour le live, où les thèmes forts servent de point de départ à des échanges spontanés. Auteur de deux singles, David (feat. Hadrien Féraud) et Shine, Maceo collabore régulièrement avec des figures majeures du jazz et de la fusion comme Gary Novak, Mokhtar Samba, Yoann Schmidt ou Hadrien Féraud, affirmant peu à peu un univers personnel et contemporain.Sur scène, le projet prend forme avec Alexandre Bilé à la basse, Julien Roger à la batterie, Noé Chantraine aux claviers et Fabrice Le Fournis à la guitare, un line-up solide et complice qui donne toute sa dimension collective et organique à la musique.
