Les Fils Canouche at 21H IN
OFF : Jazzmagnac
For the opening of the festival, return to the sources with Jean-Claude ESCALE leader of the group JAZZMAGNAC which had inaugurated the birth of Puym' Jazz and which returns with in its luggage the saxophonist Christophe TELLEZ which ignited the scene a few years ago. Thanks to these friendships, a choice start is assured!
IN : Les Fils Canouche
Under their experienced fingers, the wild pomp and double bass sway in tune, while the melodic volutes of a virtuoso bass clarinet cross paths with the flights of a freewheeling accordion. Exploring relentlessly the acoustic energies at the four cardinal points, Les Fils Canouche land on the rhythmic lands of a wild tango, a 5-beat waltz or a gypsy rumba. As spirited disciples of a modern Django or a resurrected Piazzolla, they blur the musical and temporal boundaries for the pure pleasure of gypsy swing.
This fertile quartet without blinkers is composed of :
Samuel Thésé on clarinets
Xavier Margogne on guitar
Maryll Abbas on accordion
Stéphane Cozic on double bass
4 musicians at the height of their art, brilliantly combining emotion and energy, elegance and virtuosity.

Am Ketenes at 21H IN
OFF : Jimmy Chambert quartet pour un hommage à Sonny Rollins
Well known in the world of jazz in Agen, the drummer Jimmy CHAMBERT decided with his accomplices to explore the universe of Sonny ROLLINS. We owe to this legendary saxophonist " The bridge " and " Saxophone colossus ", without forgetting the unforgettable " Sant Thomas " musical journey in the Caribbean.
This quartet offers a repertoire highlighting the years bebop and hard bop.
The carefully selected and revisited themes keep the originality and the dynamism characterizing the " Saxophone Colossus ".

IN : Am Ketenes
AM KETENES or the soul of DJANGO. The festival has always had a penchant for strings and the evocation of the Hot Club de France Quintet allows us to see that this timeless music gives birth to groups in this wake of rejoicing renewal.
The 4 musicians of AM Ketenes offer a musical territory without borders where cultures mix. The vitality of the gypsy guitar rubs shoulders with the swing of Anglo-Saxon vocal jazz as well as the driving energy of oriental rhythms and the feverish flights of the gypsy violin.
Am Ketenes plays on the magic time that pushes to the jiggle.
The quartet is composed of :
Pierre " Kamlo " Barré on lead guitar and vocals
Jean-Baptiste Frugier on violin
Pablo Robin on guitar
Jean-Charles Bavouzet on double bass

Friday July 22 Mango Swing at19H OFF
La Suite Wilson at 21H IN
OFF : Mango Swing
Universal, jazz has conquered musicians happy to express themselves freely keeping in line the roots but exploring a modernity winking at neighboring music such as tango for example.
Mango Swing, is an Argentine trio that explores swing and jazz, but also Latin music and country/bluegrass. With a touch of modernity and an acoustic soul, they reveal the freshness of swing.
The trio consists of two guitars and a violin, with some vocal harmonies of the artists.
IN : La suite Wilson
It is the evocation of the talented pianist Teddy WILSON, accompanist of the great Billie HOLIDAY in the 30's within a period where swing was king. Many musicians were actors of this time and appear today in the pantheon of an immortal jazz that we always listen to with enthusiasm and passion.
The Wilson Suite is an invitation to spend a few moments in the frenetic insouciance of the years between the wars on a huge terrace with a view of Swing and tasting of welcome cocktail "Fresh Melodies".

Michel Bonnet lead on trumpet
Antonella Vulliens on vocals
Matthieu Vernhes on alto sax and clarinet
Nicolas Montier on tenor sax
Jacques Schneck on piano
