Immerse yourself in the history of jazz piano with a unique concert at the Abbaye des Prémontrés. In the early days of jazz, musicians drew inspiration from the music they heard in churches, traveling shows, and marching bands, blending it with blues, spirituals, and ragtime. This musical fusion gave rise to a new art form: jazz.
At the heart of this evolution, the piano plays an essential role. From Scott Joplin to Thelonious Monk, including Duke Ellington, Bud Powell, and Oscar Peterson, each pianist has left his mark on a chapter of this history with his own style.
Pianist Matthieu Roffé, accompanied by a sextet from the Grand Est jazz scene, retraces this epic journey through 20 musical portraits. A concert rich in styles and influences, blending composition and improvisation, offering a chance to rediscover jazz through the figures who shaped it.
