  • The-Bridge-Presentat
    THE BRIDGE a transatlantic network for jazz and creative music « A life without bridges, no stories to tell. » David Sylvian VISIONS If the 1001 musics of the jazz field were the first “world musics”, would it not be because they allowed multiple worlds to express and signify themselves, always passionately, always singularly? Through a musical art dedicated to individual invention and collective reinvention, to the most astonishing connections and sharings. In recent years, after a century of stories and legends during which each improviser, each group, each scene has grown more specific, many French and North American musicians have shown a renewed desire to confront the musical and sociomusical realities of their counterparts on the other side of the Atlantic. To develop true mutual knowledge, in interpersonal and cross-cultural relationships that can develop over the long term, beyond a creation, a concert or a record. The Bridge forms a network of exchanges, production and dissemination, recreating the conditions for this perennial sharing: a transatlantic bridge that French and North American musicians regularly cross, in both directions and in the context of cooperative projects. This bridge between the worlds of music develops an alternative mode of circulation, thanks to tours designed as ethnographic journeys, where one explores a territory (in France or in Chicago and the Midwest) rather than travels relentlessly and thoughtlessly. Journeys in which each musician is given the time and space to resonate with the environment in which his partners evolve. On site and in context, The Bridge collaborates with all kinds of structures. This alternative model of cooperation, inspired by what has always made jazz an art of encounters and relationships – what is now called “in-person” – brings together clubs and festivals, grassroot organizations and cultural centers, music schools and universities on both continents, in a network where human adventures are woven and woven that exceed all expectations.
