Woman to Woman brings together essential figures of the current jazz scene to create an unforgettable musical experience. The virtuoso rhythm formed by double bassist Noriko Ueda and drummer Sylvia Cuenca animates the septet led by the fascinating voice of Cécile McLorin Salvant, pianist Renee Rosnes, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, clarinetist Anat Cohen and tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana. “Calling for equality, in jazz as in everything else, is not radical. It's even the least of things! ”Says singer Cécile McLorin Salvant, who won the Grammy Award for best vocal jazz album in 2016, loud and clear.
Jazz is becoming more feminine and it shows. The proof is in the pudding, with a project entirely by women musicians from all over the world. This 100% female all-star band from the United States, Canada, France, Chile, Israel and Japan crosses nationalities and generations. Together, they revisit jazz standards by exploiting the diversity of their influences. Woman to Woman brings together key figures of the current jazz scene to create an unforgettable musical experience. On the stage of the Théatre des Verdures, the women's septet will offer its eclectic repertoire, which relies as much on delicacy and power, interaction and improvisation.
