Marion Rampal

Beauty and sensuality permeate the album Song for Abbey, which Marion Rampal dedicated to the immense Abbey Lincoln. This delicate tribute, paid by one of our most talented jazzwomen to her elder, promises an exceptional concert, moving and captivating.

One can easily imagine Abbey Lincoln herself in the audience, touched to see her music reinterpreted with such sensitivity. This concert offers a precious opportunity to rediscover a major figure in jazz's matriarchal heritage, an unforgettable interpreter and composer.

Also an actress, activist, and educator, Abbey Lincoln (1930-2010) belatedly revealed her talents as a singer-songwriter through a series of deeply personal albums, which left a lasting impression on the young Marion Rampal.

Now recognised as one of the great voices of French-speaking jazz, she revisits the works from the American artist's late career, when she was at the peak of her art (and who performed at the time on the main stage of T/SQY).

Praised by critics, Song for Abbey celebrates the free and untamed spirit of the woman who inspired it.
