at once fell in love with this attractive star, universal incarnation of the Jazz
Singer, scat expert, so at ease on stage, sensual, full of nuance and
expression… Throughout her career, Dee Dee Bridgewater has never ceased to build
bridges between musical genres. All through the 70s she performed alongside
great names in jazz such as Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon and Dizzy
Gillespie and became one of the main soloists of Mel Lewis's and Thad Jones's
big band. In the 80s, she tried her hand at pop music then moved to Paris where
she refocussed her energy on jazz.

Part 2 : THOMAS DUTRONC / Stochelo ROSENBERG / rocky GRESSET trio
This project had been brewing for some time! And so the time came to assemble three friends: Thomas Dutronc, Rocky Gresset and Stochelo Rosenberg, all eager to unite their 3 guitars to interpret the most beautiful melodies of the album Frenchy, timeless hits by Dutronc father and son and of course a return to the roots, direction Django with Stochelo, grand officer of the guitar put in the spotlight. In just a few years Rocky Gresset has become one of the greatest guitarists of his generation, his exceptional talent put at the service of a wonderful musical sensibility. Before him, Stochelo had already surpassed the demonstration of an infallible technique to offer what seemed unachievable to most musicians: pure emotion. As for Thomas, he has been able to combine the best of both worlds, being at the same time an excellent guitarist and a popular singer - his latest album, Frenchy having ranked 2nd among international best-sellers in the Jazz category.

Cory Wong
Good humour, sheer energy, funk and groove. This is what the guitarist Cory Wong offers at each concert. His aim? To have his spectators forgettheir tiredness and daily worries, put on a smile and move to the groove in some way. And the artist knows how to go about it. Without vocals, with his guitar and the musicians on stage, he will be musically hyping up the audience of the Gould pine grove.
Nile Rodgers & Chic
Among music legends, Nile Rodgers is truly exceptional. He amplifies his legacy as a multiple Grammy®-winning composer, producer, arranger and guitarist by constantly traversing new musical terrain and successfully expanding the boundaries of popular music. As the co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like "Le Freak", (the biggest selling single in the history of Atlantic Records) and sparked the advent of hip-hop with "Good Times". Nile transcends all styles of music across every generation with a body of work that’s garnered him inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame of which he is the Chairman.
