Marwan Boulaid - Jazz fusion Quartet + guests

On 9 October, guitarist and composer Marwan Boulaid celebrates the release of his new album Leap of Faith at the Nouveau Casino. Through this record, Marwan explores a borderless musical universe, nurtured by the influences that have shaped his journey as a guitarist: electric jazz, 90s/2000s rock, impressionism, progressive metal and improvised music. Leap of Faith was born from a refusal to choose, and a desire to bring multiple aesthetics into dialogue, reflecting his dual French-Moroccan heritage. Musical cross-pollination is at the heart of this evening: a journey between written compositions and spaces for improvisation, between melodic finesse and bursts of energy. Trained between Paris and Boston, notably at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Marwan develops a project at the crossroads of jazz fusion, rock and contemporary music. His approach combines precision in writing, freedom of interpretation and sonic exploration, giving birth to music that is both organic and contrasted.

Line-up:

Marwan Boulaid — Guitar / Composition

Romain Labaye — Bass

Noé Chantraine — Keyboards

Archibald Ligonière — Drums

A live show where writing and improvisation, calm and intensity, heritage and exploration meet.
