FANFARE DU LOUP “SCENES FROM ELEPHANT LIFE

Il Signor Elefante is no ordinary elephant: he plays electric bass and cooks pasta for his friends (his individual portion is 680 kilos). Il Signor Elefante is known for being kind and considerate to all his little - and not so little - friends. In fact, he taught Il Signor Coccodrillo to meditate, and he has since stopped scaring everyone.

DUO DES ARBRES

Duo des Arbres: a decarbonated, leafy repertoire. Compositions in honor of the forest. Meditations conducive to radical reflection. Combat music. Jazz standards written by illustrious predecessors in honor of the world of forestry... Duo des Arbres: two long-time sound accomplices who enjoy harmonies like a blue tit eats caterpillars and play with rhythms like a woodpecker builds its nest.

Yves Cerf, soprano, tenor and bass saxophones and quenas
Sergio Valdeos, 7-string guitar

KOHAN / JORDAN DUO “LA FIENTE ENCHANTÉE DES CROPETTES

The Parc des Cropettes hosts a variety of events throughout the year and, of course, the AMR festival. But who hasn't been interested in the park's stable of pigeons? And to the ephemeral, ever-changing works of art that are their droppings? Yet a multitude of heterogeneous and mysterious images lie there, beneath our feet.
The Kohan/Jordan duo present a concert-exhibition inspired by the surprising world of droppings at Les Cropettes.

Claude Jordan, flutes
Eduardo Kohan, tenor saxophone, keyboard, clarinet, bass, vocals

8:45pm - Main stage
DANTE LARICCHIA “LOOSE ENDS

An excursion down roads not taken and their alternate realities that lurk behind doors intentionally left ajar.
Like the ends of a rope that should be tied, situations evolve in unexpected directions, always leaving questions unanswered.
The bass speaks in the first person, telling stories of physical and inner places, of shifting languages and identities, for a music in search of adventure and reflection.

Dante Laricchia, acoustic bass, compositions
Juliane Rickenmann, saxophones
Pablo Klopfenstein, piano
Sylvain Fournier, drums
