About this concert
Cette année, le dispositif Talents jazz ADAMI (Administration des Droits des Artistes Musiciens Interprètes) met en valeur Ishkero, jeune groupe du jazz français. Un mentor, Donny McCaslin, s'associe au projet dès sa conception et prend part à la sélection des candidats. L'objectif ? La création d'un live présenté sur les trois scènes des festivals partenaires Coutances, Vienne et La Villette, avec un répertoire établi entre le saxophoniste et les lauréats.
Les quatre membres du groupe Ishkero ont été sélectionnés cette année. Leur musique électrique et progressive confine à une ferveur jazz et une fièvre dancefloor qui s'inscrivent parfaitement dans la donne musicale de Donny McCaslin. Cet artiste international a collaboré avec des artistes aussi divers que Gary Burton, Maria Schneider et David Bowie. Son choix est de recourir à un quartet "électrique" dans le droit fil de ses derniers albums. C'est un vent frais qui souffle contre l'empire... Neuf mots qui résument l'éthique du saxophoniste dont les escapades au ténor ont à la fois embrassé et répudié les notions du jazz contemporain. Le concert de Bowie a finalement allumé la mèche et stimulé les aspirations du musicien : tendre vers un hybride du jazz et d'art rock.

Donny McCaslin Biography
Donny McCaslin is best known as the saxophonist on David Bowie’s last album, Blackstar. The noted composer and bandleader has released a dozen albums over his genre-defying, Grammy-nominated career.
McCaslin began playing at age 12, and as a teenager, performed in his vibraphonist father's band in Santa Cruz. By high school, he had appeared multiple times at the Monterey Jazz Festival.
After attending Berklee College of Music on a full scholarship, McCaslin became a sought-after player in New York City. David Bowie saw McCaslin perform as soloist for the Maria Schneider Orchestra and brought in McCaslin’s progressive jazz quartet that came to define Blackstar's visionary stylistic fusion. As David Hadju wrote in The Nation, “Donny McCaslin was David Bowie’s David Bowie.”
In turn, Bowie influenced McCaslin, who fused alt-rock and jazz on his first album with lyrics, 2018’s BLOW.
A new album is forthcoming on Edition Records in 2023.
