Performing unreleased original compostions at the Ernest Wiehe Jazz Festival #3

Hi Every one,

Yep we are back in a completely different style, playing original songs now and exploring deeply Sega rythm and its melodic  idioms together with Jazz and  bringing forward our Mauritian contribution to World-Jazz. . Yes we are into it and thanks to Cyril Michel  Ernest Wiehe Jazz Festival Director who invited me to perform a one hour concert  as soloist  or in a trio set up   I opted for the latter  and we presented a completely new repertoire of songs on the 12th september  2014.

Quite a big deal to have  these songs preformed for the first time for the Ernest Wiehe Jazz Festival and surely an honor to meet Jim Collard-the former drummer of Ernest Wiehe who performed two of my songs- Tantrum and Elegy in 1984.

A BIG Thank you to you… Jazz people who follow us and also  a big big  big thank you to the great musicians who play with me. Thank you again for the support in making Jazz stay alive in this country.

As you may have noticed Jim Bachun is playing drums with us in this new music adventure. Nels Bucktowar is back and will soon be seen to perform with us too in a new Quartet set up.

Thank you Melissa.

Stay tuned

and

Jazz Always….
