YAHÉ 4TET
S. BEUF/F. DEVIENNE/T. FANFANT/B. HENOCQ
Born out of a tour of Senegal with the singer Carlou D, this project brings together four leading figures from the worlds of jazz and world music, bound by a deep friendship. Here, there is no single leader: each is at once a composer, performer and master of their own voice.
Sylvain Beuf, a leading saxophonist, has left his mark on French jazz through his prestigious collaborations and critically acclaimed albums. On keyboards, Fabrice Devienne brings a powerful musical poetry, notably through his tribute to Aimé Césaire in ‘DIPENDA’.
Thierry Fanfant, an exceptional sideman on bass, has played on over a thousand albums, navigating with ease between styles and continents. Finally, Benjamin Henocq, an inventive drummer and renowned master of colour, has distinguished himself alongside musicians such as Michel Portal, Bojan Z and Nguyen Lê, bringing a unique creative energy to every project.
An ‘all-star’ collective without a leader, where every musician shines and creates a unique chemistry on stage. A rare experience not to be missed.
