NICOLET / BASTET / EMERY / TABARINI “SONG BOOK

For a few old-timers of our kind, the “jazz” that ignited our youth has become a source of rejuvenation. We sometimes come to it, exhausted and melancholy, and leave, often joyful and rejuvenated. May we share it with you!

MINIARDISES INVITES FLORENCE MELNOTTE

“The Miniardises duo is delighted to invite Florence Melnotte to perform at this year's Festival des Cropettes. We'll be offering improvised music, as well as a few pieces from the repertoire recorded on our album Chaïpas, which will probably be transformed a little. Florence's presence will propel us into improbable spaces - we're looking forward to it!”

ORGANIC FLOWERS

Organic Flowers is back! The explosive trio is back with plenty of fertilizer and green leaves, full of throbbing grooves that will make your stems shake. True to their roots, their repertoire is inspired by Jimmy Smith, John Patton and Grant Green. Their soul-jazz music takes you on a magical journey of bewitching rhythms and daring improvisations!

THELONIOUS MONK - A SOUND EXIMINATION

Saxophonist Ohad Talmor and drummer Dominic Egli share a deep love of the music of legendary pianist and composer Thelonious Monk. Together, they subject his music to a sound examination. In the stripped-down formation that is the duo, they dissect the structures of the compositions right down to the skeleton. Through the pleasure of playing, close interaction and a scalpel, they attempt to lay bare the heart and soul of this magnificently mysterious music.

Ohad Talmor, tenor saxophone
Dominic Egli, drums

10:45pm - Main stage
LA REVUELTA

La Revuelta, an explosive brass band from Geneva, is made up of musicians from Switzerland, France, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. Their music, mainly based on original compositions, is inspired by Latin American rhythms, particularly cumbia, while blending contemporary styles and improvisation. Their aim? To share the energy and festivity of Latin American music through an authentic and unexpected blend, while integrating modern sounds, all in a dynamic staging, combining choreography and theatrical interventions. A truly immersive show in which the audience becomes part of the action.
