Sunday Jam Hosted By Benjamin Henocq

For his first SUNDAY JAM, Benjamin Henocq returns to the music of the "Bird", the great Charlie Parker. By actively participating in the emergence of bebop in the 1940s, the saxophonist gave a new approach to melody, rhythm and harmony. It was during jam sessions with Thelonious Monk, Charlie Christian, Max Roach and Kenny Clarke that Charlie Parker broke with swing to lay the foundations of bebop. Benjamin Henocq invites us in turn to explore the rhythmic and harmonic innovations of jazz during this jam!

"Better known in the world of jazz, but just as effective and involved in funk and pop, Benjamin continues to learn again and again, despite his already busy career.
