Arlet Feuillard & The Syntest Quintet

In search of “their sound,” Arlet Feuillard and the Syntest Quintet create music in which composition, improvisation, and collective exploration are in constant dialogue. Inspired by artists such as Kurt Rosenwinkel and Aaron Parks, the group also draws on influences from other cultures—ranging from African music to rock—which infuse their compositions and arrangements. A fluid dialogue between the instruments, in which each musician contributes to the creation of a shared musical language. From this mutual listening emerges music that is at once dynamic, introspective, and daring. 

After a first year of residency rich in discoveries, Arlet Feuillard and the Syntest Quintet return to Le Baiser Salé to continue this adventure, which has become a true laboratory where, over the course of concerts, new compositions, arrangements, and musical directions take shape. 

Launched in 2012, the #JazzDeDemain series has given rise to a series of bimonthly residencies that allow young artists to gain stage experience, refine a repertoire, and present it to the public. It’s a promising and vibrant initiative where creativity and excitement know no bounds. #BeCurious!
