A double bill celebrating the richness of jazz from across the Atlantic. For her first programme as artistic director of the Orchestre National de Jazz, Sylvaine Hélary highlights Carla Bley by paying tribute to this uncategorisable jazz icon. Performed by 17 soloists, the repertoire highlights Carla Bley’s distinctive sound palette, captivating rhythms, and bold harmonies. A saxophone prodigy, Immanuel Wilkins has already established himself at the peak of the New York jazz scene with two albums on Blue Note.
