July festival - Festival Puym'Jazz

Wednesday July 18 21h Los manchos de la mancha

On the road to gypsy jazz, many guitar lovers have come across the bellows of a accordion creating a whirlwind ! On free reeds just waiting to express themselves, the strings too give themselves at heart's joy!

So it is with Los Manchos de la Mancha.

The ultimate reference is of course the god DJANGO! But in this galaxy do not forget that the god himself began by accompanying the great musette of the time: Jean Vaissade, Fred Gardoni, Vetese Guérino and many others ...

The quartet originally named La Mancha cultivates, on the fingertips, the gypsy swing flavor. It explores a universe where accordion and guitars share the solos' parts based on a solid rhythmic bass-guitar.

The group also offers its warm compositions inviting us to walk into "Puym'jazz 2018"!

Placed under the sign of strings and swinging reeds, Puymjazz 2018 could not be finished without a musical firework.

The trio "LA ROULOTTE AU CLAIR DE LUNE" which includes Benoît Atquier on guitar, Nicolas Thevenin on bass and Jimmy Chambert on drums will lead the "verdine" (caravan dear "to the sons of the wind") in the heart of this exceptional gypsy night concocted especially for this stopover in Puymirol.

Of course Django's soul will float on the night that we wish full of stars and lighted by jazz standards under the reflections of a moonlight often evoked by the musicians. The trio embarks for the trip: Lydie Arbogast on vocals, Ludovic Bulcourt on accordion, Jean Jacques Ratier on clarinet and Renaud Richermo on rhythm guitar.

A high-flying crew that will delight swing lovers for an evening that promises to be sparkling.
