VA - Jazz à Vienne - seven highlights from 40 years of the festival and seven new cover versions
Jazz at Vienne – doubling the celebration
Not every day do you celebrate a 40 th birthday. That’s why Jazz at Vienne is marking the four-decade – emerald – anniversary of France’s signature jazz and blues event not once, but twice. After a truncated 2021 edition, the festival’s storied history, dating back to 1981, is being celebrated with a full concert schedule this year, alongside a compilation album, Past & Future (Heavenly Sweetness). The album - an amalgam of stories, emotion and resonant echoes – captures the festival’s essence. Listen in closely, then once again.
Each Jazz at Vienne venue has its own sound, or feel. Whether the Antique Theatre, or the archaeological garden at Cybèle, or the small Italian-style space, The Club, with its after party starting at midnight. At Vienne, this special locale – at the convergence of the Rhône and Gère rivers - the art of fine dining always runs parallel with the music, often including a tasting of Condrieu or Côte-Rôtie, even if in the past Miles preferred to stick to his Coke.
Just look at some of musical luminaries who have appeared at Jazz at Vienne: Dianne Reeves, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, The Roots, Lalo Schifrin, Carla Bley, Michel Petrucciani, James Brown, Chucho Valdes, Kassav’, Santana, Manu Dibango, Pat Metheny, George Benson. Incredible.
This compilation, Past & Future captures something of the festival’s history, while connecting with the current scene’s leading lights, and so propelling you into the future. Each of the seven groups collected here were recorded at Isère, at Grenoble. With many of the covers included here as evocative as the original compositions.

Best character surnamed: Du
Come and vote for the best characters with the same surname!*
What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!
*note, the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often there will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.
Propaganda is very welcome! If I’ve forgotten anyone, let me know in the notes.
This is part of a larger series of ‘best character with X surname’ polls’. The overview with ongoing polls, winners, and future polls can be found here
