The 2019 edition is the 14th of this festival, which has become a fixture due to the quality of its programming and its resistance to the “popisation” and mainstream Jazz trend.
Once again this year, the Maisons-Laffitte Jazz Festival welcomes the well-known names of the French and international jazz scene as well as the emerging talents of the new generation: Richard Bona, Sylvain Luc, Lou Tavano, Ziv Ravitz, Yom, Ulf Wakenius, Loco Cello, Laurent Coulondre, Linley Marthe, André Ceccarelli, Nola French Connection, Tchavolo Schmitt, Cecil L. Recchia, Hugh Coltman, Adrien Moignard …
Tributes, especially to Michel Petrucciani, thanks to the project of Laurent Coulondre, who with a trio of all stars brings back life to the great pianist, whose 20 years of his disappearance is celebrated, or a tribute to Wes Montgomery by Ulf Wakenius. Trips to the heart of New Orleans, a free concert for the “Fête de la Musique”, a young audience show, the presence of jazz legends for exceptional concerts, concerts celebrating album releases of the year. A jazz of all colors and always of a high quality. No fault of taste. No programming of stars out of jazz, to guarantee the sale of tickets. And yet, like every year, the concerts will be played at an almost closed counter.
Like what, the quality also pays, if one wants to dare.
Jazz at Maisons Laffitte, it’s an atmosphere, a real nice festival!
