Josselin Arhiman — Duo “el Son Arh”

Line-up: Jean-Jacques Elangué saxophone · Josselin Arhiman piano. The duo formed by Jean-Jacques Elangué on saxophone and Josselin Arhiman on piano embodies above all the meeting of two musical sensibilities, two generations, united around the same language: jazz in all its diversity. In this intimate and pared-down format, centred on listening and dialogue, the two musicians develop a space of freedom where original compositions and standards from the repertoire intersect, leaving room for improvisation, exchange and sonic exploration.

Jean-Jacques Elangué, saxophonist from the Francophone jazz scene, evolves in projects where contemporary jazz meets Afro-Caribbean colours, with a play centred on sound and improvisation. He has shared the stage with Tom McClung, Alain Jean-Marie, Tony Allen, Emmanuel Djob & Afro Soul Gang, Damon Albarn, Manu Dibango and many others. Josselin Arhiman, pianist and composer, traces a path between modern jazz, creole music and improvised practices through numerous collaborations on jazz and cross-cultural stages.
