Antoine Karacostas is a 34-year-old pianist of Greek origin.

LEHOUCQ

Born: January 27, 1961

Les sources d’inspiration sont à rechercher du côté des musiques actuelles et universelles, des territoires sans frontière. L’univers « world jazz » d’Alula se décline dans un répertoire original, composé de climats éclectiques se référant à la fois au jazz européen, au style progressif et à la musique africaine. Atmosphères aériennes, improvisations et grooves s’entremêlent, préservant toujours un caractère mélodique fort. Depuis sa création en 1998, le groupe parisien Alula a présenté son univers musical dans différents lieux de la capitale tels que le Sunset, le Baiser Salé, l’Entrepôt, l’Opus, l’Olympic, le Caveau des Oubliettes, le Satellit Café, l’Improviste… et en province : Jam (Montpellier), Hot Club (Lyon), Mandala (Toulouse), Sonographe (Le Thor), le Comptoir du Jazz (Bordeaux), le festival Jazz en Scènes 2008, 3 pièces (Rouen), Orléans Jazz festival 2009, Jazz in Rueil 2011, Ercé on Earth 2012… En juillet 2001 Alula a enregistré son premier album au Studio Gimmick, avec Olivier Ker Ourio invité à l’harmonica

Fidel Fourneyron

Born in southwestern France, Fidel Fourneyron moved to Paris in 2006 to complete his training in the class of jazz and improvised music at the Conservatoire. There, he met people and collectives that proved decisive for his aesthetic choices and future collaborations — including the COAX and UMLAUT collectives, les Vibrants Défricheurs and le Tricollectif, all of whom he still works with regularly. Drawn to improvisation (as part of the National Orchestra for Creation, Experimentation and Musical Improvisation) as much as to contemporary music (he worked with the Ensemble Hodos), Fidel is also fond of great swing orchestras and is a soloist in the Umlaut Big Band, which specializes in 1920-30s dance music. Spotted by the biggest names in contemporary jazz — among whom Marc Ducret who asked him to be part of his Real Thing #3 sextet — Fidel joined Olivier Benoit’s Orchestre National de Jazz in 2014. Together with Roy Nathanson (Lounge Lizards), he was a guest musician for French quintet Papanosh’s thunderous tribute to Charles Mingus, called “Oh Yeah Ho!” His recognizable touch can also be found in Radiation 10, Jukebox, Eve Risser’s White Desert Orchestra, Marc Ducret’s Tower Bridge and Tricollectif’s Tribute to Lucienne Boyer. Fidel is often invited to perform as a soloist (European Youth Jazz Orchestra, MGH Orkestar) and asked for masterclasses (Conservatories of Poitiers, Tarbes, Blois, Angoulême, or for Dijon’s Tribu Festival, etc.)
