Ahmad Jamal – as part of the Piano Jazz Sessions
(recorded on the 3 July 2019, 61 min.)
Ahmad Jamal comes from the closely-knit club of the great masters of jazz. That is why, in the manner of Coltrane and Miles, he goes back to his past as a way to overcome it. This is the case here, with a duo and a few quartet pieces - with Herlin Riley (drums), James Cammack (double bass) & Manolo Badrena (percussion) - but above all a collection of several solo pieces. The music is art in its purest form, ranging from the iconic “Poinciana” to the symbolic “Marseille”. Ballades is a new masterpiece in this artist’s long and distinguished career.
The concert of Ahmad Jamal is available Friday April 24 at 8:30 p.m. (Paris CET): https://youtu.be/1wtpAhtH-Lo
Video available 24 hours after its upload.

- The Insiders (“Les Initiés”): a selection of works (1989-2009) from the Jean Pigozzi collection of contemporary African art reunited a selection of works by fifteen emblematic artists from Jean Pigozzi’s collection. All are heirs to unique spiritual, scientific and technical wisdom and give form to their worlds across a variety of media and through a broad expressive palette.
- Being There (“Être là”): South Africa, a contemporary scene was devoted to South Africa, one of the most dynamic scenes on the African continent. Its potency, first revealed to the world in the 1990s, is especially due to the emergence of a new ecosystem, constituted in part by very involved and committed institutions, galleries and universities.
- Complementing the two temporary exhibitions, a selection of African works from the Collection which, through various media, explored the history and identity of the African continent and cultures, which today are essential to understanding the world’s artistic landscape.
