Rhoda Scott – Lady All Stars at Théâtre Du Vésinet

An exceptional concert! Like many artists of her generation, Rhoda Scott grew up in the atmosphere of evangelical churches, lulled by gospel music. The daughter of a pastor, she developed a talent for the Hammond organ at an early age and began accompanying choirs at the age of eight. She continued her musical studies in New York, then in Paris where she was a student of Nadia Boulanger. Her career accelerated in the 1970s, when she gained the respect of her peers. She played on the biggest stages in the world, alongside Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton, Ella Fitzgerald ...The Lady All Stars was born in 2004, at Jazz à Vienne, when the legend Rhoda Scott met the finest French jazz musicians: Sophie Alour, Airelle Besson and Julie Saury. Together they decided to create a women's quartet mixing their jazz, swing, gospel and soul influences. Since then, the sisterhood has grown to eight members, most of whom have already performed individually at the Théâtre du Vésinet.At the end of November, they will make us groove to the sound of their latest album, continuing to bring a wind of freedom and originality in a musical universe still largely dominated by men!...

Un concert d’exception ! Comme beaucoup d’artistes de sa génération, Rhoda Scott a grandi dans l’ambiance des églises évangéliques, bercée par le gospel. Fille de pasteur, elle développe très tôt un talent pour l’orgue Hammond et commence à accompagner les chœurs à l’âge de huit ans. Elle poursuit des études musicales à New York, puis à Paris où elle est l’élève de Nadia Boulanger. Sa carrière s’accélère dans les années 1970, où elle s’attire le respect de ses pairs. Elle joue alors sur les plus grandes scènes du monde, aux côtés de Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton, Ella Fitzgerald …Le Lady All Stars naît en 2004, à Jazz à Vienne, lors de la rencontre de la légende Rhoda Scott avec la fine fleur du jazz français : Sophie Alour, Airelle Besson et Julie Saury. Ensemble elles décident de monter un quartet féminin mêlant leurs influences jazz, swing, gospel et soul. Depuis, la sororité s’est agrandie et compte huit membres, dont la plupart se sont déjà produites individuellement au Théâtre du Vésinet.Fin novembre, elles viendront nous faire groover au son de leur dernier album, continuant d’amener un vent de liberté et d’originalité dans un univers musical encore largement dominé par les hommes !
