Event information

Baptiste Trottignon & Minino Garay

Baptiste's album 'Share', featuring Eric Harland, Mark Turner et al., is the inspiration behind the festival. Partager, meaning 'to share' in French, celebrates the spirit of the esteemed and multi-award winning French pianist Trotignon's approach, whose collaborations also include Bireli Lagrene, Ambrose Akinmusire, Jeff Tain" Watts, Elisabeth Kontomanou, Didier Lockwood to name a few.

Masterful at merging traditions, Trotignon's duo with Argentinian percussionist Minino Garay is an ingenious and unexpected Tango-influenced blend of world jazz.


Denis Badault & Tom Arthurs

Thrice-nominated in the BBC Jazz Awards (Best Instrumentalist and Rising Star) and drawing on influences as diverse György Ligeti and the pygmies of Central Africa, Tom Arthurs has been wandering Europe relishing the chance to make new connections.

His collaborators have included Ingrid Laubrock, Tom Rainey, Ian Ballamy and Jack DeJohnette. More free than jazz, Tom's duo with acclaimed French pianist Denis Badault is a casually elegant exploration of the intimate dialogue of the artist with his instrument.
