Madeleine & Salomon is the meeting of two artists with distinct musical worlds: pianist Alexandre Saada and vocalist and flutist Clotilde Rullaud. They develop a sacred, minimalist universe imbued with impressionist poetry. In English and sometimes in French, they echo the existential questions, hopes, and protests of a youth thirsty for change. Their songs are socially conscious, dreamy, or romantic, all conveying social or spiritual questions that still resonate around the world today. The duo will perform songs from their two albums, “A Woman's Journey” and “Eastern Spring,” including covers of Eastern and activist pop songs from the 1960s and 1970s, and intonations that echo the great female figures of American song.“A Woman's Journey” (2016), acclaimed by international critics (best album according to The Sunday Times (UK), The NPR Music Jazz Critics Poll (US), France Musique, Citizen Jazz, Jazz News), pays tribute to socially conscious American singers such as Nina Simone and Billie Holiday.

Madeleine & Salomon, c’est la rencontre de deux artistes aux univers musicaux bien affirmés : le pianiste Alexandre Saada et la vocaliste et flûtiste Clotilde Rullaud. Ils développent un univers sacré, minimaliste, empreint de poésie impressionniste. En anglais et parfois en français, ils font écho aux questionnements existentiels, aux espoirs, aux contestations d'une jeunesse assoiffée de changement. Des chansons engagées, rêveuses ou romantiques, toutes porteuses des questionnements sociaux ou spirituels qui aujourd’hui encore résonnent à travers le monde. Le duo interprétera le répertoire de leurs deux albums, “A woman's journey” et “Eastern spring”, entre reprises de la pop orientale et militante des années 1960-1970, et intonations faisant résonner les grandes figures féminines engagées de la chanson américaine.“A Woman’s Journey” (2016), salué par la critique internationale (meilleur album selon The Sunday Times (UK), The NPR Music Jazz Critics Poll (US), France Musique, Citizen Jazz, Jazz News), rend hommage à des chanteuses américaines engagées comme Nina Simone ou Billie Holiday. “Eastern Spring” (2022), tout autant salué - Jazzwise (UK), Jazziz (US), Télérama, France Musique, Le Soir (BE), RTBF, MusicaJazz (IT), Nettavissen (NO), Citizen Jazz - intègre des influences méditerranéennes et moyen-orientales.Madeleine chante, Salomon est au piano. Un duo à l’élégance naturelle qui fait du « less is more » son mot d’ordre.Dans le cadre du Festival JAZZ SUR SEINE 2025.Cool jazz for quiet dreamsDimanche soir, fin de semaine, le 38Riv ralentit le tempo. Place à la douceur du cool jazz, à ses lignes claires, ses tempos posés, ses harmonies feutrées. Inspirée par l’héritage de musiciens comme Chet Baker, Lee Konitz ou Shirley Horn, cette série de concerts met l’accent sur l’écoute, l’épure et le dialogue. Un moment simple, précis, sans fioritures — juste la musique, et ce qu’elle peut encore raconter quand tout se tait autour.
