Jazz in the GardenJazz in the Garden, Salon, France, August 2025
I love jazz, especially the kind that echoes with the voice of Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, and the great masters. Modern jazz carries other colors, where guitarists reveal their virtuosity.

Sud Quartet (07/10)
The repertoire draws from different periods of post-60s Jazz through the interpretation of different themes by Michel and Philippe Petrucciani, Steve Swallow and Carla Bley, Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans, Kenny Barron, mixing musicality, energy and virtuosity. ‣ Philippe Petrucciani : Guitar ‣ Gilles Labourey : Piano ‣ Tzar Paanphum : Bass Guitar ‣ Claude Béziac : Drums Tzar Project (07/24)
Tzar Project is a current Jazz Fusion Quartet... Arriving in France in 1996, Tzar Paanphum is an incredible bass player. He is a great technician and above all a composer. During his career, he met famous musicians such as Robben Ford, David Garfield, Sadao Watanabe, Steve Gadd on stage and in the studio. He is a legend in Thailand. From his life in Provence came several compositions that will lead to an album in 2024. ‣ Tzar Paanphum : Bass Guitar ‣ Philippe Petrucciani : Guitar ‣ Gilles Labourey : Piano ‣ Claude Béziac : Drums Nathalie Blanc and Philippe Petrucciani (08/07)

Benoit Paillard is "a fascinating pianist and composer combining clarity of execution and originality of discourse," as Martial Solal emphasized. Returning to France in 2018, Christophe Genoux is a saxophonist and composer whose musical styles range from contemporary jazz to pop music. In 1986, he left for Australia and the United States and enjoyed an international career alongside some of the biggest names in jazz. Accompanied by the rhythm section of Olivier Lalauze, a renowned double bassist based in the Aix-en-Provence region, and Claude Béziac on drums, the Open Air Quartet engages in a dialogue with musicality, energy, and spontaneity. ‣ Benoit Paillard : Piano ‣ Christophe Genoux : Saxophone ‣ Olivier Lalauze : Double Bass ‣ Claude Béziac : Drums |

Alain has a lot of trouble remaining a simple spectator. The photographer's demon takes hold of him, a bit like a drug... smile
The framing and post-processing are also Alain's. So let us render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar.
