Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald & Heptone Colours

Samedi 4/11 à 20h : Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald (B)

Is it still necessary to present the one called "The first Lady of Swing"? Ella Fitzgerald, with a range of three octaves, was recognized for the purity of her voice and her ability to improvise. Wishing to pay tribute to this great lady of jazz, pianist Xavier-Edouard Horemans surrounded himself with a breathtaking singer, capable of conveying all the emotion of Ella's repertoire, with strength and gentleness: Maud Moucheron. At their side, 3 high-level musicians. The quintet revisits the greatest hits of her career, in the style of Ella, by using her phrasing and the scat that she loved so much. A dive into the cozy atmosphere specific to jazz clubs of the 1950s.
