– Villefranche-sur-Mer, January 14, 2023 –
New Orleans singer and trumpeter James Andrews, a.k.a. The Satchmo of the Ghetto, and Swiss pianist and composer Frank Salis along with a group of experienced French musicians (Gaetän Thomas, Kevin Saura and Pascal Masson) have officially launched the Villefranche-sur-Mer Tremé Jazz Festival (September 7-10, 2023) with a show at La Citadelle Auditorium.
Association J.A.12 founder Monique Bornstein, the experienced Swiss promoter and producer Nicolas Gilliet and City authorities introduced the musicians and announced the Festival.
Andrews’ and Salis’ s music performance allowed the large audience (not only French jazz lovers, but also a considerable number of Americans and Italians) to appreciate the first musical notes of what will be the soundtrack of the Festival in early September.
While awaiting the first official communications regarding the Festival, my suggestion is listen to High in the Sky, the latest Frank Salis album featuring the best musicians from New Orleans.
