9 November 2024, 10pm at Espace Rachi – Guy de Rothschild

As part of the 2024 edition of the Jazz’N’Klezmer Festival, the festival is welcoming the Canadian ensemble Oktopus, one of Quebec’s leading world music groups, to France for the first time. Klezmer isn’t just about travelling from East to West, and jazz isn’t just about travelling from America to Europe. This astonishing world music combines interpretations of the klezmer repertoire, jazz and Balkan music, tinged with an accent of classical music, a long way off in time. With Gabriel Paquin-Buki on clarinet, composition and arrangements, Matthieu Bourget on bass trombone, Noémie Caron-Marcotte on flute, Madeleine Doyon on tenor trombone, Maxime Philippe on drums and percussion, Francis Pigeon on trumpet, Laetitia Francoz Lévesque on violin and Guillaume Martineau on piano,
