Yo Hess Vibes Quartet — a fresh breath in Franco-American jazzYonatan Hes, a young Franco-American saxophonist, cut his teeth in Burgundy at the vibrant Crescent Jazz Club, alongside Eric Prost, François Gallix, and Stéphane Foucher. He quickly made a name for himself, sharing the stage with leading figures of European hard bop (Erik Ineke, Stéphane Chandelier, Nicolas Rageau, Jos Machtel), as well as with artists from the contemporary ECM-inspired jazz scene (Stéphane Galland, Marko Churnchez, Shaonan Trigger Su).It was at the Paris Conservatoire (CNSM) that he met his musical partners:Lucas Dorado – an incandescent vibraphonist, infused with South American rhythms,Gabriel Sauzay – a lyrical and precise double bassist,Orélio Paladini – a volcanic drummer, rich in colors and contrasts.Together, they form a young, brilliant, and surprising quartet.Their musical universe draws as much from Immanuel Wilkins, Walter Smith III, and Ben Van Gelder as from the great voices of modern jazz: Cannonball Adderley, Wayne Shorter, and Sonny Rollins.Blending poetic compositions, blazing improvisations, and bold reinterpretations of standards, the Yonatan Hes Quartet delivers an audacious, luminous jazz — the new wave that’s making Paris vibrate....

Yo Hess Vibes Quartet — le souffle neuf du jazz franco-américainYonatan Hes, jeune saxophoniste franco-américain, fait ses premières armes en Bourgogne, au bouillonnant Crescent Jazz Club, aux côtés d’Eric Prost, François Gallix ou Stéphane Foucher. Très vite, il se fait remarquer et partage la scène avec des figures majeures du hard bop européen (Erik Ineke, Stéphane Chandelier, Nicolas Rageau, Jos Machtel), mais aussi avec des artistes du jazz contemporain façon ECM (Stéphane Galland, Marko Churnchez, Shaonan Trigger Su).C’est au CNSM de Paris qu’il rencontre ses complices :Lucas Dorado – vibraphone incandescent, nourri de rythmes sud-américains,Gabriel Sauzay – une basse chantante et précise,Orélio Paladini – batterie volcanique, tout en couleurs et contrastes.Ensemble, ils forment un quartet jeune, brillant, surprenant.Leur univers puise autant chez Immanuel Wilkins, Walter Smith III, Ben Van Gelder… que dans les grandes voix du jazz moderne : Cannonball Adderley, Wayne Shorter, Sonny Rollins.Entre compositions poétiques, envolées fulgurantes et relectures de standards, le Yonatan Hes Quartet propose un jazz audacieux, lumineux — la nouvelle vague qui fait vibrer Paris.
