Frail but still singing the blues -B.B. King
captures the audience at last night’s Jazz à Juan concert...
The rain droplets that sprinkled audience members were not
enough to disrupt the festivities in Juan-les-Pins last
night. Although the 51st annual Jazz à Juan festival had
officially kicked off on the famous 14th of July, it was
not until yesterday that the magic truly descended. Read
on to this article from the Riviera TimesHere
After a few weeks in America, we set off
for the festival of Antibes, in the South of France.
We blew them away. In 1963, Miles Davis was in for
a shock: In Antibes, an immense poster of me was
stuck up near my hotel. I thought: what a world it is; I
don’t get that in New York but here, thousands of
people come especially to listen to you and treat you like
a brother.
Another
family reunion this year in Juan, honouring with pomp one
of the greatest trumpet players in the history of jazz,
who passed away twenty years ago. All the artists performing
on the legendary stage in the pine grove will have a thought
for Miles Davis, from Jamie Cullum ( I discovered
the festival through recordings of Keith Jarrett
and Miles Davis ) to Marcus Miller ( He taught
me to be myself ), without forgetting of course those with
whom he lived the great adventure Jazz à Juan : Herbie
Hancock and Wayne Shorter. And also all those
who, at some point during their career, crossed the sunlit
path of this blue note mutant. They will all come together
again for this festival, an annual celebration.
Because
Juan, as Joshua Redman said so well, is « a true
festival, not a series of concerts, a real community which
meets up each year in a particular place, at a particular
time. Everyone is there sharing a same passion, living jazz
physically. » On the main stage of course, but also all
around, in the streets and during the "afters",
where the jazz gains its true dimension : Juan-les-Pins,
it’s not just a stage, it’s a legend for me: Juan-les-Pins,
it’s what Carnegie Hall is to classical music. Every time
I’ve heard Juan mentioned, it’s been the height of greatness
of jazz. (John McLaughlin)

Wedding
Blues - According to a report
in the April / May 2011 Edition of the Riviera
Reporter "So why do they honk? It’s
the wedding season soon and on Saturdays especially you
get reminded of this as convoys of cars take to the road
carrying the newly married and their guests ... with much
blaring of horns. An old French custom? Not exactly: it
was started by jazz saxophonist Sidney Bechet when
he got married in Juan-les-Pins."

in Pinède Gould in Juan-les-Pins Pinède Gould is to jazz
musicians what the Scala of Milan is to opera singers: an
important milestone in their career and a very special performance
venue. Doyen of European jazz festivals, “Jazz in Juan”
is a veritable mixing pot of styles and the latest trends.
Popular music and off-beat, young artistes who have gone
on to great fame, the classics and modern pieces… Many are
the greats who have trodden the boards of the stage since
the first festival in 1960 in the mythical Pinède Gould.
Once again this year, th ey come to Juan to enchant and
excite their audiences with the most brilliantperformances
on offer today. Contact Tourist Office. 11 Place de Gaulle,

The
annual jazz festival (Jazz à Juan)
takes place at Juan Les Pins in July. It is held in the
Pinede (pine grove). It was in 1960 that the Juan-les-Pins
Jazz Festival was officially launched. Stéphane Grapelli
played at the first festival. The town is now twinned with
the French quarter of New Orleans, USA. The Pinede is between
the
Mediterranean and Le Provençal that was once a famous hotel
till the 1960's and stood empty for more than 40 years and
is currently being converted into luxury apartments.
The
view from this open air theatre is superb, as in the photo
above of Ahmad Jamal playing in 2006 with the Mediterranean
backdrop and the coast running past Golfe Juan towards Cannes.
The
48th Festival - July 10th to 20th 2008 featured: Ruthie
Foster, James Blunt (10th July), Didier Lockwood, Thomas
Dutronc (11th July), James Morrison & Joe Chindamo Quartet,
Al Jarreau (12th July), Yaron Herman, John McLaughlin &
The 4th Dimension (13th July), Sashird Lao, Nicole Henry
(14th July), Solomon Burke, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings
(15th July), Roy Hargrove, Marcus Miller (16th July), Nathalie
Soles, Diana Panton, Stephu Haik, Virginie Teychene (17th
July), Keith Jarrett with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette
(18th July), Women of Chicago Blues, Bill Wyman & The
Rhythm Kings (19th July) and on the final night - 20th July
Nicole Slack Jones & The Soul Sisters.
Our
correspndent Dick
Suter
attended the 2008 festival for the Keith
Jarrett Trio
( Keith
Jarrett - Gary Peacock - Jack Dejohnette) who were making
a regular visit to the Festival. "The music was superb
and the sound quality in the auditorium down to the final
piano note. A most enjoyable evening".

à Juan organisers hit the top
Jazz
festival notes record pitch in sales
07.08.2008
/ Building on the success of the previous year, the organisers
of the Jazz à Juan festival in Juan-les-Pins have just received
the results for this year’s festival – and its good news!
This year, an increase of 5% was noted in the number of
paying visitors with a sale of, on average, 1753 tickets
each evening. Only the youth ticket sales were down, decreasing
from 5 to 2.5%, as the organisers chose not to apply a reduced
price on the evening James Blunt performed.
On
the other hand, the four evenings of the festival ticked
all the boxes for jazz-lovers as more than 70% of the tickets
were sold, particularly for the performances by James Blunt
and Al Jarreau.
The first year with Internet booking was
a clear success with more than 37% of the total ticket sales
purchased from the comfort of festival goers homes at the
click of a mouse.
The choice of performers this year has led many to chapeau
the festival committee for their balanced programme of new
stars, established artists and jazz legends, which undoubtedly
helped the Jazz à Juan festival see one of its most successful
years to date. Source The Riviera

The
47th Festival - July 2007 featured:

Our

Suter attended
the 2007 festival and reported "The Norah Jones concert
was superb: not only did she sing and play piano beautifully
but she has also added guitar to her repertoire. The evening
was a huge success but, like most things that are especially
good, flew past too quickly." 2007
