Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival 2018 - The Amazing Keystone Big Band and Vincent Peirani

The Amazing Keystone Big Band

Django Extended

The 17 eager musicians behind the music stands in this turbulent jazz machine are classy but not so keen on following obediently in the wake of Count Basie, Duke Ellington or Thad Jones. They consider this orchestra of selected friends allow to experiment new ideas, while still revisiting the best of an unsinkable repertoire. The Amazing Keystone Big Band continues an undulating tradition of music, while also leaving plenty of room for creativity amongst its musicians.  For further information

Opening act: Vincent Peirani – Living Being  “NightWalker”

The instrument combination is totally unique. With Living Being, all melodic instruments are on equal footing: This rings true for Tony Paeleman’s rumbling but floating Fender Rhodes. That is not to forget the clear soprano saxophone of Emile Parisien, which he preferred over tenor saxophone, nor the leader’s wonderful multi-faceted accordion (played quite a lot compared with the previous album). Vincent Peirani’s art is his rhythmic work and the way he adds layers to each song as only an armada of keyboards could.
