Monday Jam By François Constantin

It grooves, it swings, and it breathes funk with every breath in François Constantin's Monday Jam dedicated to George Duke, the boss of jazz fusion and funk in the 70s and 80s, a genius American keyboardist and composer who worked with Frank Zappa, Stanley Clarke, and Jean-Luc Ponty. His flamboyant keyboards, unstoppable groove, and blend of jazz, funk, and soul still make our ears dance today. Alongside François Constantin on percussion and lead, Noé Chantraine on piano, Romain Labaye on bass, and Tiss Rodriguez on drums, the themes dance, the solos soar, and the rhythms hit just right. An hour-long concert to set the groove, then the JAM gets going and the stage opens up to everyone, pros, amateurs, curious onlookers... in short, everyone gets carried away by the energy and the sound. A festive, warm and resolutely lively evening, where the spirit of George Duke hovers over every note.
