Description
Rediscover the great history of jazz through a burlesque show combining musical virtuosity and eccentric staging!
An outdated and decrepit radio studio, instruments everywhere: this is the setting for the musical show "Voyage aux Pays du Jazz" (Journey to Jazz Country), hosted by two endearing multi-instrumentalists with jubilant clumsiness. From blues to ragtime, Dixieland, bebop, New Orleans, scat, and swing, they will tell you the incredible story of this music during an odyssey of laughter, rhythms, and musical performances.
You will learn more about the roots of these aesthetics by navigating through the repertoires of Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Scott Joplin, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Amy Winehouse and even Bruno Mars!
ZZAJ is a delicious shot of pep, good humor and music to enjoy with family or friends without moderation... obviously!
Summary :
Without warning, the boss of two radio show hosts unexpectedly invites an audience into their studio. Depending on the show's success, he will decide whether or not to continue.
It's a veritable earthquake in their well-regulated universe. From clumsiness to short circuits, including a trombone left in the car and a conversation with the ghost of Louis Armstrong, they tell us about jazz, from blues to funk to bebop.
While the public is swept away by the twists and turns of their disasters, these enthusiasts will not give up, trying to maintain what, until now, made their life.
The Press is talking about it:
"A winning duo" Le Monde
“Two fantastic multi-instrumentalist actors” Le Canard Enchaîné
“The whole range of emotions in one hour” Le Figaro
"As unpredictable as a jazz improvisation, this delightful piece arouses hilarity, curiosity, musical excitement, and emotion." Le Figaro
"Even though there are only two of them on stage, it is truly a musical and burlesque tornado that unfolds before our eyes, even turning the stage upside down and invading the entire room." Théâtre actuel
"After a good hour of laughter, music, singing, applause, standing ovations, and sharing, the goal is achieved. The imperfection inherent in jazz is delivered up for apology." All culture
“The show is a moment of absolute happiness for jazz lovers, and for everyone else as well.” All culture
"It's truly a musical and burlesque tornado that unfolds before our eyes, even turning the stage upside down and invading the entire room." ThéâtreActu
“As one-man bands, they play multiple instruments, they sing, they dance, they do stunts… all while
revisiting with us some standards from the history of jazz. These two very complete artists are above all driven by incredible energy and infectious enthusiasm. Good humor quickly invades the room, and for more than an hour, the audience itself participates in this failed radio show which transforms before our eyes into a very successful show. » Libre Théâtre, Jean-Pierre Martinez
