About this concert
C’est avec une déferlante de splendides concerts qu’en 2017, l’AB a fêté le centenaire de la sortie du tout premier album de jazz. Depuis cet anniversaire, baptisé « JAZZ 100 », notre amour du genre n’a fait que croître. Ainsi, nous avons proposé des comptes-rendus uniques de plusieurs jazz scenes, à savoir celles de Londres (de Shabaka Hutchings à Nubya Garcia en passant par Kamaal Williams), Manchester (de GoGo Penguin à Matthew Halsall) et Chicago (de Makaya McCraven à Ben LaMar Gay), sans évidemment oublier la scène belge (de BeraadGeslagen à Glass Museum en passant par Steiger). ‘The Rebirth of Jazz’ est aujourd’hui en pleine renaissance. Le genre ne cesse de se réinventer, attire un public particulièrement jeune et se cristallise dans un flot ininterrompu d’albums passionnants. Autant de raisons pour l’AB de jouer la carte du jazz cet automne, avec des concerts de Theon Cross, Angel Bat Dawid, Oscar Jerome, Ezra Collective, TaxiWars, Joe-Armon Jones, Ill Considered, Sarathy Korwar et Nérija (composé de membres de KOKOROKO, SEED Ensemble, etc.). Sarathy Korwar peut se targuer d’un C.V. impressionnant. Ce percussionniste né en Amérique, élevé en Inde et établi à Londres a sorti son premier opus Day To Day (2016) sur le célèbre label Ninja Tune, subjuguant aussitôt Four Tet et Gilles Peterson. Non content de réaliser son projet A.R.E. avec l’aide de Hieroglyphic Being et du maître Shabaka Hutchings, il s’est associé en 2018 à Upaj Collective pour retravailler des classiques d’Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders ou encore Don Cherry. Enfin, sur son dernier album More Arriving, très politique, il confirme sa patte jazz/world par des collaborations avec des rappeurs indiens comme MC Mawali.

Sarathy Korwar Biography

Born in the US, Sarathy Korwar grew up in Ahmedabad and Chennai in India. He began playing tabla aged 10, but was also drawn to the American music that he heard on the radio and leaking through the doorway of his local jazz music shop (Ahmad Jamal and John Coltrane were early discoveries). At 17, Korwar moved to Pune to study Environmental Science, but instead dedicated his time to music, practising tabla under the tutelage of Rajeev Devasthali, translating his skills to the western drum kit and playing as a session musician.

On completing these studies a decade ago, he moved to London where he trained as a classical tabla player under the guidance of Sanju Sahai at SOAS (The School of Oriental and African Studies), focusing on the adaptation of Indian classical rhythmic material to non-Indian percussion instruments.

Korwar has since established himself as one of the most original and compelling voices in the UK jazz scene, leading the UPAJ Collective - a loose band of South Asian jazz and Indian classical musicians brought together through a love of collaboration and improvisation who set up a residency at the Jazz Café in London. Korwar has collaborated with the likes of Shabaka Hutchings (The Comet Is Coming), clarinettist Arun Ghosh and producer Hieroglyphic Being, as well as groups Penya and Ill Considered. He has toured with Kamasi Washington, Yussef Kamaal and Moses Boyd.
