Jazzin’ Translation #3 Wolves AVEC ITJ ET Soul Parlor

5 Euros

21h-22h30 : Wolves (SXB)
Fou de musique électronique, c’est vers la fin des années 90 que Wolves commence à mixer du breakbeat en parcourant tous les festivals électro d’Europe.

S’ajoute à ses orientations musicales la bass music et il se lance dans la production en 2000 avec le groupe Caterva.

Toujours à la recherche de nouvelles influences musicales , son nouvel EP s’inspire des sons UK garage. Pour ce nouveau morceau il s’est associé au chanteur Bo Johnson.
Sa sortie digitale est prévue courant 2017.

22h30-00h30 : ITJ
Le projet ITJ voit le jour en 2012, lorsque le groupe se produit au festival WolfiJazz. La formation enregistre dans la foulée un premier CD auto-produit, défendu dans la région de Strasbourg. Le groupe fait ses preuves et élabore un 2ème opus, un an après, toujours
sous le nom In Time Jazz. Lauréat du concours Jazz à Vannes 2015 et finaliste des concours Jazz à Vienne 2015, Jazz à la Défense 2014 et FIP Jazz 2013, le quartet participe à plusieurs projets, de la résidence de création au Burkina Faso à la composition de la bande
originale d’un documentaire sur la Méditerranée.
Renommée ITJ en 2015, la formation s’oriente vers un mélange entre l’énergie du rock et la liberté du jazz, complété par la chaleur de musiques d’Afrique et d’ailleurs. C’est par sa philosophie et non dans ses aspects conventionnels que le jazz trouve sa place au sein de la musique du groupe, qui se veut débridée, électrique et ouverte à toutes les oreilles. Cette originalité que le groupe défend est accompagnée d’une démarche d’indépendance autant
d’un point de vue sonore que visuel.
