For 15 years now, the Festival Jazzdor has been building the artistic bridge between France and Germany!
For the team around Philippe Ochem, jazz means openness: they don't care about geographical and aesthetic borders and only want one thing: to share with the audience what excites them at the moment, to promote unexpected encounters, to make the heartbeat of jazz of today audible and tangible.
So set off, by bike, streetcar or on foot, leisurely or at a run, however you like, come and let yourself in for the listening pleasures of the Festival Jazzdor Berlin!

ELODIE PASQUIER / DIDIER ITHURSARRY
Elodie Pasquier clarinet | Didier Ithursarry accordion
<br><br>Elodie Pasquier and Didier Ithursarry also draw from the wellspring of the Renaissance in designing their own contemporary aesthetic. They take up harmonic, polyphonic and stylistic peculiarities of Renaissance music and develop these distant reverberations in radically contemporary creativity.

OLIVIER LÉTÉ<br>
"OSTRAKINDA"<br>
Olivier Lété electric bass<br> Aymeric Avice trumpet<br> Toma Gouband percussion
<br> GERMANY PREMIERE & RELEASE CONCERT<br>
Tapping and rubbing, on skins, stones and strings, the trumpet sometimes sounds like a primeval horn. The almost archaic groove of this trio reliably carries the vocals, and conversely, the vocals magnetically draw in the confident minimalist grammar of the bass and percussion. At first they whisper and whisper, allowing time to grow, then they find the place and pitch their tent, for a moment only, sharing and transfiguring whatever is at hand.

SYLVAIN RIFFLET <br>
"REBELLION(S)"
<br>Sylvain Rifflet Saxophone | Jon IrabagonSaxophone | Sébastien Boisseau Double Bass | Christophe Lavergne Percussion<br><br>
Saxophonists Sylvain Rifflet and Jon Irabagon explore the relationships of music to the rhythm and melody of language. And because they are not only musically committed, their project takes the form of a transmission of important emancipatory statements by Greta Thunberg, Olympe de Gouges or Paul Robeson.
