About
The Amazing Keystone Big Band, which was formed in 2010, fully embodies both the spirit of the big bands of the era when swing was king and the virtuosity of contemporary jazz. Close friends since their Conservatoire days, pianist Fred Nardin, saxophonist Jon Boutellier, trombonist Bastien Ballaz and trumpeter David Enhco conduct and write arrangements for the ensemble. Tonight they are accompanied by Neïma Naouri in a tribute to Judy Garland, an artist venerated by the young singer. Neïma has in fact loved American musicals since childhood and excels at performing them. We recently enjoyed seeing her on the bill of Gypsy at the Philharmonie de Paris and at the Broadway family concert here with her parents, Natalie Dessay and Laurent Naouri. A star is born, without a shadow of a doubt.
