Jazz concert contrebasse

Big Bad de Villefrance/Saône - Kenny Wheeler "The sweet time suite"

Cultural, Concert in Bourg-en-Bresse
  • An undisputed masterpiece by Kenny Wheeler, the Canadian trumpeter. Written for big band, voice and flugelhorn, in 8 parts, the work is surprising in its variety of colors.

  • This suite, which oscillates between light and darkness, is punctuated by solos for flugelhorn, voice, sax, trombone and bass, all of which express themselves with a flavor that is at times gentle, swinging or free, punctuated by poignant chords, a graceful piano solo or a brief quotation from Gershwin's Fascinating Rhythm.

    5 trumpets, 5 trombones, 2 pianos, guitar, double bass, 2 drums.
    Conducted by Christophe Métra.
