MACEO LE FOURNIS

Led by saxophonist and composer Maceo Le Fournis, the project is a modern, free and resolutely melodic electric jazz. At the age of 26, Maceo is developing a music influenced by the Californian and Afro-American aesthetics of the 80s, somewhere between the heritage of jazz fusion, precise writing and open spaces for improvisation. The central idea of the project is groove and the group sound: lively, energetic music, designed for live performance, where strong themes serve as a starting point for spontaneous exchanges. Author of two singles, David (feat. Hadrien Féraud) and Shine, Maceo regularly collaborates with major figures in jazz and fusion such as Gary Novak, Mokhtar Samba, Yoann Schmidt and Hadrien Féraud, gradually establishing a personal and contemporary universe.

On stage, the project takes shape with Alexandre Bilé on bass, Julien Roger on drums, Noé Chantraine on keyboards and Fabrice Le Fournis on guitar, a solid, close-knit line-up that gives the music its collective, organic dimension.
