FRED WESLEY GENERATIONS TRIO Des décennies après que son travail avec James Brown et George Clinton l'a établi comme l'un des pionniers du funk, Fred Wesley a un nouveau projet qui le relie à ses racines jazz et à l'avenir : Generations. Generations est un trio réunissant Fred Wesley au trombone, Leonardo Corradi à l'orgue et le batteur français Tony Match. Trois musiciens qui se sont d'abord réunis pour rendre hommage au jazz plein d'âme du légendaire organiste Jimmy Smith, ils ont eu le déclic et continuent à groover ensemble.Leur spectacle combine les talents de Wesley et son expérience auprès d'artistes allant de Count Basie et Ray Charles à Lenny Kravitz et D'Angelo, la réflexion énergique de Corradi sur Smith et d'autres géants historiques du jazz, et le jeu de batterie jazz de Match coloré par des influences uniques, notamment des rythmes africains et des sons électroniques.
