Sylvain Luc 5tet Sylvain Luc, guitar Keyvan Chemirani, percussion Bijan Chemirani, percussion Stéphane Belmondo, trumpet Lionel Suarez, accordion Sylvain Luc is without a doubt one of the most brilliant guitarists of the current generation. His insatiable curiosity for the most diverse musical worlds makes his encounter with the Chemirani brothers two astonishing Franco-Iranian percussionists a rare and powerful moment. When he adds Stéphane Belmondo and Lionel Suárez to the trio both of whom are on the look out for dreams and encounters, this atypical grouping of variable geometry becomes a real invitation to travel!

João Bosco, lead, guitar/vocals Ricardo Silveira, guitar Guto Wirtti, bass Kiko Freitas, drums João Bosco has been loved in his home country of Brazil for decades, since the 60s when he first began composing and performing. In the early 90s, Bosco mounted a major tour of the US, and since then he has become increasingly popular internationally, regularly performing at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival. Despite his growing popularity outside of his homeland, Bosco remains thoroughly attached to Brazil to the point of never leaving it for extended periods; his music, though rooted in Brazil's classic samba and bossa nova traditions, combines rock and roll, jazz and other ethnic styles in an eclectic brew that is as inventive and challenging as he is. In 2017 Bosco received a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Latin Recording Academy at the 18th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. His new album, Mano Que Zuera, was released at the end of the year.

Laurent Coulondre Trio at Nancy Jazz Pulsations 2015 Laurent Coulondre, piano, organ Rémi Bouyssière, bass, double bass Martin Wangermée, drums Laurent Coulondre belongs to a generation of young musicians who take jazz into unexplored territory. With a sharp sense of rhythm and harmony, he plays the piano and the organ with consummate ease and shows, at his young age, breathtaking musicality, technique and flair. Laurent Coulondre has defined the new concept of the 'reversible trio', and a new sound identity. Alternating betweed the classical trio – piano, double bass and drums – and another form comprising organ, 6-string bass and drums, his music is innovative and challenging, without ever losing touch with its audience.

Christian McBride's New Jawn Christian McBride,leader/bass Nasheet Waits, drums Marcus Strickland, sax tenor Josh Evans, trumpet Powered by a relentless energy and a boundless love of swing, Christian McBride's path has described a continuous positive arc since his arrival on the scene. With a career now blazing into its third decade, the Philadelphia native has become one of the most requested, most recorded, and most respected figures in the music world today. His latest grouping, Christian McBride's New Jawn, is a killer unit, tight, soulful, in the pocket and in the groove. By the way, Jawn is Philly slang to describe just about everything and anything, but most importantly to understand why McBride named his new band so, it is probably this: "Jawn" is one Philly thing New York can't lay claim to'.
