A tribute to two giants of jazz

Both born in 1926, Miles Davis and John Coltrane worked together during a pivotal period in the history of jazz. Through their constant search for new musical horizons, they profoundly transformed the genre and left a lasting mark on 20^th-century jazz.

The Jultrane Sextet revisits several of their iconic works with sensitivity and freedom, including So What, All Blues, Syeeda’s Song Flute and Blue Train.

Combining energy, improvisation and musical dialogue, the performers revive the spirit of innovation that inspired these two major figures in jazz.

In the unique atmosphere of the Château de La Napoule, where heritage, art and openness to the world come together, this evening promises a moving shared experience, carried by the timeless power of jazz.
