Julien Coriatt - Brand New Quintet

JULIEN CORIATT piano/compos/lead AMINA MEZAACHE flutes DAMIAN NUEVA double bass SONNY TROUPÉ ka drum STEFANO LUCCHINI drums The Brand New Quintet announces its grand return with a resolutely… brand new repertoire?!

At the crossroads of jazz and Creole music, the group proposes an evening in the colors of the Caribbean, vibrant with rhythms, traditions and living heritage.

Led by a high-flying line-up, pianist Julien Coriatt surrounds himself with Amina Mezaache, an essential figure of world music and jazz in France, developing a singular language between tradition and modernity; Sonny Troupé, master of the ka drum, inscribes his playing in the Guadeloupe heritage while projecting it towards contemporary forms; Stefano Lucchini, renowned Italian drummer, brings a refinement and energy nourished by the great European stages; Damian Nueva, double bassist with deep and subtle groove, anchors the ensemble with elegance; while Julien Coriatt brings these universes together in sensitive and bold writing.

Five exceptional musicians, with rich and singular paths, whose complicity and artistic rigor give the project all its strength and singularity. With the Julien Coriatt Brand New Quintet, music becomes celebration.

Between jazz and Caribbean sonorities, it explores the roots and summons memory. This new repertoire pays homage to the past, is fully rooted in the present and sketches a luminous, open and inspiring future.
