Alexis Valet Invite Joe Sanders

Alexis Valet continues his residency at 38Riv, with top-notch guests, and always accompanied by supportive musicians. The music explores a space of intense and fluid improvisation.

A unique double bass player, rare on the French scene, Joe Sanders draws bold musical trajectories. Now based in the south of France, this major artist of contemporary jazz is recognized for the depth of his playing, his exceptional sense of listening, and his ability to navigate between aesthetics with remarkable freedom. A sought-after collaborator, he has been accompanying essential figures for over twenty years such as Joshua Redman, Ben Wendel, Gerald Clayton, Kendrick Scott, Charles Lloyd, and Logan Richardson. Present on numerous significant recordings of the international jazz scene, he simultaneously develops a unique personal work, where modern jazz, blues, Afro-Latin music, folk, and contemporary influences intersect. After "Introducing Joe Sanders" and "Humanity," he presents in 2026 his new album, "Parallels," an intimate and ambitious project that reveals the richness of his musical universe and confirms his place among the most creative voices of his generation.
