Joanne Dolly Quartet

Joanne Dolly is a bundle of energy straight from Martinique who sets Paris alight with her voice, double bass, and flute. Raised on gospel, jazz, and Afro-Caribbean music, she creates a groove that is both deep and free, where every note sounds like a declaration. Based in Paris, she turns clubs upside down with her own powerful and sensitive style. She transforms each concert into a collective experience: a celebration, a cry, a prayer. On stage, she is on fire: she improvises, she tells stories, she swings her double bass as if it were an extension of her voice. Inspired by great voices such as Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan, and Esperanza Spalding, she nevertheless charts her own course, between raw poetry and solar energy. She has shared the stage with musicians such as Bernard Vidal, Benjamin Thiébault, and Bastien Rigolle, and is part of a lineage where jazz meets soul and Caribbean rhythms. Joanne Dolly has an electrifying presence, a captivating smile, and music that strikes straight to the heart.
