For 15 years now, the Jazzdor festival has been building an artistic bridge between France and Germany!

For Philippe Ochem's team, jazz means openness: they don't care about geographical or aesthetic borders and want only one thing: to share with the audience what they are passionate about, to encourage unexpected encounters, to make the heartbeat of today's jazz audible and tangible.
So set off, by bike, tram or on foot, leisurely or at a run, however you like, come and let yourself in for the listening pleasures of the Festival Jazzdor Berlin!

BERNADO / DUBÉ / FLORENT / RÜCKER
Sophie Bernado bassoon | Marie-Pascale Dubé vocals | Joachim Florent double bass | Pina Bettina Rücker quartz bowls PREMIERE
Bassoonist and singer Sophie Bernado, one of the most interesting voices of contemporary French jazz, has already been heard in this country with Eve Risser's White Desert Orchestra. Jazzdor gave her a carte blanche. The result is a quartet that lives by two principles: the desire to experiment and absolute openness.
O.U.R.S
Clément Janinet violin | Hugues Mayot tenor saxophone, bass clarinet | Joachim Florent double bass | Emmanuel Scarpa drums, vibraphone
GERMAN PREMIERE
The enigmatic and rhythmic-dancing name says it all: O.U.R.S. stands for "Ornette Under the Repetitive Skies". Indeed, violinist and composer Clément Janinet combines glowing free jazz in the style of Ornette Coleman with repetitive music à la Steve Reich with a virtuoso hand.
CHRISTOPHE MONNIOT
"SIX MIGRANT PIECES"
Christophe Monniot Saxophone | Aymeric Avice Trumpet | Nguyen Le Guitar | Jozef Dumoulin Piano | Bruno Chevillon Double Bass | Franck Vaillant Drums
Behind the name " Six Migrant Pieces " are six compositions by Christophe Monniot, written for the six members of his new band: six internationally acclaimed musicians, from very different backgrounds, on very different levels.
