NJP: Belin, Winston, Chamfort under the big top
In 4 days
During a stay in Nancy, here is a grand song night not to miss: under the Pépinière big top, Nancy Jazz Pulsations brings together dandy Bertrand Belin, Charlie Winston's first solo tour and the farewell of Alain Chamfort, icon of French chic pop. Three worlds, one shared elegance.
Bertrand Belin & Charlie Winston
A dandy of French song with a baritone voice, Bertrand Belin returns with Watt, an album of unprecedented narrative and sonic suppleness, between synthetic pop, jazz echoes and stripped-down rock. Beside him, after a seventeen-year career, Charlie Winston embarks on his first solo tour: freed of their electric armor, his songs emerge in a pared-back form, between intimate confession and raw power. Two singular voices to open the evening.
Alain Chamfort's final bow
An icon of French chic pop, Alain Chamfort takes his recording bow with L'Impermanence. Between deep melancholy and silky arrangements, this exceptional composer delivers a poignant final album, brought to the stage by bold, timeless musical direction. Seeing Chamfort in concert means crossing fifty years of refined song, chiselled melodies and discreet elegance: a rare moment, almost a farewell, to share in the fervour of the crowd.
Under the Pépinière big top
The concert is held under the great big top raised each autumn in the Pépinière park, a green setting at the heart of Nancy and an emblematic stage of Nancy Jazz Pulsations. The atmosphere is warm and festive, halfway between a concert hall and a large open-air gathering. The park, a few steps from Place Stanislas, is easily reached on foot from the centre: perfect for a stroll before the show and to linger afterwards.
A song evening at Nancy Jazz Pulsations
Each autumn, Nancy Jazz Pulsations turns the city into an open stage, from jazz to rock to great French song. This evening gathers three major names, between transmission and renewal, for an audience of all ages. It is the ideal chance, during a weekend in Nancy, to combine discovery of the Art Nouveau heritage with a great evening concert. Do check the time and access details on the festival's official website before booking.
