A gathering of virtuosos for a tribute to the immense singer of the 70s and 80s. After a remarkable career start for his very personal way of singing, Al Jarreau truly took off in 1980 with the album “This Time” and then in 1981 with “Breakin’ Away”. Covering both jazz and pop tracks, he is the only singer to date to have won a Grammy Award in three different categories: Jazz, R&B, and Pop. Roger Biwandu is one of the most recognised drummers on the French scene. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with Jacques Higelin and Biréli Lagrène, two major figures in French and European music. A highly versatile musician, he has distinguished himself both on stage and in musical direction. Alongside him, Linley Marthe, originally from Mauritius, has established himself as a bassist with a unique playing style, nourished by the rhythms and musical colours of his native island. Hervé Saint-Guiron, a passionate multi-instrumentalist, brings his sensitivity and love for jazz, soul, and grand keyboards. Finally, Bruno Edjenguélé completes this quartet with his warm voice and stage experience, drawn from a universe where jazz, soul, and groove intertwine. Together, they bring talent, complicity, and solid experience to the service of vibrant and generous music.
