Jus de Bocse + Médéric Collignon invite Christophe Monniot - Miles Style

“Between '68 and '75, the post-Bitches Brew era. This period was marked by aesthetic questions in Miles Davis's process: musicians became mirrors of collective consciousness, ideas of freedom and rights were effervescent. Miles Davis's sound fused jazz and rock, contemporary music and world music. Miles electrified his trumpet using effects, rhythms became funkier, the theme was merely a silk sheet over a groove of sometimes animalistic savagery. I feel the same desire right now to play these sonic alloys that shatter or smooth time, with my own experience and reflections on our era, which seems fragile due to the virtual and the superfluous: let's not forget the vibrations of dance, let's cultivate our senses, which today number… 7! For other reasons, like an ancient mirror, I will take up my instrument to transmit my vision of music freed from all chains, with the extraordinary complicity of our guest, inhabited by an intense light. Music is a healthy addiction! Let yourself be guided…” – Médéric Collignon
