Concert Bumpy Roof of band + Monique B Thomas
Dates & opening times
Description
Originally from Philadelphia, Monique B Thomas grew up surrounded by jazz, gospel and soul. Trained in classical and jazz at William Paterson University under such masters as Rufus Reid and Harold Mabern, she has since pursued an international career (Europe, Asia, Africa). Now based in France, she performs mainly with a rootsy jazz/gospel quartet, alongside Didier Ottaviani (drums), Yann Penichou (guitar) and Hervé Saint-Guirons (organ). Inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Carmen McRae and Betty Carter, she performs standards and compositions by Monk, Nat and Cannonball Adderley, and Randy Weston. Her current show, Lady Sings the Blues, pays tribute to the often forgotten pioneering feminist blues singers who have marked her career.
In partnership with Hot Club de Jazz Marennes Oléron.
