« Irresistible Swedish Soul » - ROLLING STONE 2020
Since a first EP (4 stars in Rolling Stone), the Swedish singer Little Ellen (alter-ego of Ellen Birath) continues her route through the twists and turns of the 70's, sailing between melodic soul and soaring folk.
"Little Ellen is much bigger than me," says Birath from her alter ego. "She's more carefree, more rock and roll, she lets me channel a lot of things. And above all, she loves beautiful melodies."
But the two characters share some striking similarities.
Born in the early 1990s, they are both marked by the eruption of brit pop, remnants of their parents' vinyl collection, a few 'Greatest Disco Hits' compilations and several mislabeled Minis iPod's of mp3s from Limewire and Napster.
Both left home at 18 with a rock n roll dream, and both are trying to navigate the indie market in the time of streaming.
Little Ellen is not so much an alter-ego as a feeling. A way to channel the pressure to succeed in today's anxious music industry. When all you care about are the beautiful melodies and their human reactions.
For this intimate concert at the Jazz Club Etoile she will be surrounded by Manuel Faivre, multi-instrumentalist & composer, and Philippe Devin, guitarist.

Musical style: Blues Irlandais
"The Irish blues singer of true integrity," The Sunday Times writes, as Grainne Duffy described her after her incredible debut album Out Of The Dark, which was presented at the Glastonbury Festival.
The last few years prove that the famous Irish singer and composer goes far beyond this, deeply exploring blues - as a story - while doing her PhD on early blues singers and releasing two albums, in which she mixes the roots of blues with contemporary sounds, phrases and her native Irish soul, offering splendid Celtic lines.
During his career, Grainne has performed as a lead singer for artists such as Robben Ford and Little Feat. In 2014 and 2015, Grainne won the Blues Matters Writers Poll in the categories "best vocalist" and "best solo artist". Duffy's fourth studio album, "Voodoo Blues", won the 2021 Independent Blues Award for Best Modern Roots Artist.

"There's a young lady [Vanessa Collier] came onstage with me, I forget where I was, but she's playing an alto saxophone, and man, she was amazing."
Those are the words of Buddy Guy in an issue of American Blues Scene, describing an impromptu performance with Vanessa Collier on the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise.

Monsieur MÂLÂ - Saturday March 29 - 8.30pm
Entrance fee: 15€

Musical style: Jazz
« My name is Monsieur MÂLÂ
I'm not a human, I'm a machine. »
The lyrics of Storyteller, which introduce Monsieur MÂLÂ's debut album, serve as an introduction: the quintet is an empirically conceived, organically produced machine, capable of telling stories through instrumental music.
Its cogs are Nicholas Vella (piano, keyboards), Swaéli Mbappé (bass), Yoann Danier (drums), Robin Antunes (violin, mandolin) and Balthazar Naturel (saxophones, English horn). These strong personalities, whose complicities go back a long way, are all recognized leaders or sidemen in the sphere of jazz and its satellites. Their technical baggage, cosmopolitan influences and travelling souls stir up a decoction of funk and rock, African and Caribbean music, while ingesting new urban and electronic trends. Nothing is glued or fused, everything flows. This feeling of fluidity prevails on an album unlike any other, and which could only be titled Monsieur MÂLÂ. Named after the rosary used to recite mantras, the band seeks and achieves transcendence, both in the studio and on stage, where their reputation fills the halls. Writing and improvisation, charisma and interaction, rowdiness and quietude, but also groove, jubilation and elevation...
Robin Antunes (violin, mandolin), Balthazar Naturel (saxophone, English horn, clarinet, flute), Nicholas Vella (piano, Fender Rhodes, keyboards), Swaéli Mbappé (bass, guitar), Yoann Danier (drums).

Kyle Eastwood - ‘Eastwood by Eastwood’ - Thursday 03 April - 8.30pm
Photography : Jerome Bonnet
Musical style : Jazz, Film music
SPECIAL CONCERT - ENTRANCE FEE €20
With a dozen albums to his credit, Kyle Eastwood has never given up on his desire.
Although he made a few screen appearances when he was younger, he decided to devote himself to jazz when he left his teens.
While composing several scores for his father (Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby and Letters From Iwo Jima), he confirmed his career as a leader over the years. As a double bassist and bass player, he remained faithful to a traditional, melodic approach to jazz, often adding lyrical embellishments.
‘Cinema is my second passion', he admits. So it seemed only natural that his quintet should now turn its attention to film soundtracks.
Kyle Eastwood's new creation, ‘Eastwood Symphonic', is a tribute to his father based around a dozen film scores rearranged for symphony orchestra. Created in autumn 2022, the project will be released as an album in September 2022 and will tour during the 2023-2024 season.
In parallel with this project, Kyle Eastwood is proposing ‘Eastwood by Eastwood', based on the same repertoire of music from Clint's films, but performed as a quintet.
The Eiger Sanction written by John Williams for Clint Eastwood, Ruthless and On the Road to Madison composed by Lennie Niehaus, Gran Torino and Letter from Iwo Jima written by Kyle Eastwood and Michael Stevens, Dirty Harry and Magnum Force written by Lalo Schiffrin, Memoirs of Our Fathers composed by Clint Eastwood and arranged by Kyle Eastwood, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and A Fistful of Dollars composed by Ennio Morricone.
Kyle Eastwood (double bass and bass), Andrew McCormack (piano), Chris Higginbotom (drums), Quentin Collins (trumpet and flugelhorn), Brandon Allen (saxophone)

MARKA Feat. Tony Lamonica - Thursday 10 April - 8.30pm
Entrance fee: €15

Musical style: Pop Blues
Nobody is more loyal to Marka than Marka. If there's one artist who doesn't lie about the goods, it's Marka. In 1991, when he released his first solo album, the title - JE VOUS DIT TOUT - had to be taken literally. Thirty-three years on, like a contract made with himself, he continues to tell us everything, with an aplomb, a style and a voice that perfectly conceal his doubts and anxieties.
So it's about him again on this album, ‘a mirror in which everyone can see me' - as France Gall used to say, evoking, between the lines, the profession of singer in a business that defines the rules. Marka knows the rules, but he changes lanes when he crosses them, convinced for a long time that there is no greater fool than the one who follows the path laid out by the artistic director of a record company whose musical culture begins with ‘I Gotta Feeling' (with all due respect to that Black Eyed Peas hit).
If you've lost track of Marka, or if he hasn't called you in a while, the best way to hear from him is to listen to his album. As you discover his eleven new songs (ten to be exact, the eleventh is a fake instrumental - I'll come back to that later), you realise that the man is starting to put away his old papers, rediscovering old memories and sorting out what was good and not so good in his life.
Marka (guitar, bass drum, vocals), Tony La Monica (guitars), Ben Poncin (bass), Pierre Ducaju (keyboards), Larissa Lismont (violin), Christelle Heinen (cello)

Musical style: Jazz
Gael Rakotondrabe, a pianist and composer from La Réunion, stands out for his eclecticism and virtuosity. He is the only French pianist to have won the Montreux Jazz Festival International Piano Competition, under the honorary presidency of Quincy Jones.
From film scores to astonishing artistic encounters, from skilful orchestrations to urgent improvisations, he multiplies collaborations and connivances. He has worked with artists such as Antony and the Johnsons (Anohni), CocoRosie, David Byrne, Charles Aznavour, Woodkid, Hugh Coltman and Ayo. He also composes scores for films presented at Sundance, Tribeca, Venice and Cannes.
From a Beatles classic, And I Love Her, to another, Because, he evokes immense legacies (My Funny Valentine, In a Sentimental Mood, I Fall In Love Too Easily...), recalls Philippe Sarde's sublime Chanson d'Hélène, and delivers Shadow, the album's eponymous title track, one of his many compositions that he finally shares.
Airy and tight at the same time, this music unfolds Gael Rakotondrabe's singular identity, always between two shores and always concerned with emotional clarity.
