Event Description
When cultures meet in the music of the Masmoudi Quartette, the result is rather extraordinary. Jazz is infused with a rich interplay of Western and Middle Eastern instrumentation to create a tapestry of sound that is familiar and unexpected at the same time.
Oud player and group leader Mohamed Masmoudi hails from Tunisia, and his music draws on influences from a lifetime devoted to study, travel, and performance. His works are known for their melodic richness and multifaceted textures, blending Eastern and Western traditions with classical and jazz influences. As an artistic director and composer, Masmoudi seeks to create unifying music that honors the cultural heritage that has shaped his life.
Masmoudi (oud) is joined by Guillaume Martineau (piano), Gabriel Paquin-Buki (clarinet) and Rémi-Jean Leblanc (double bass).
Audiences will be intrigued by a mosaic of classical, jazz, and world music quite unlike any other.
