Événement exceptionnel pour notre festival qui accueillera le premier concert de la tournée française de la grande pianiste et chanteuse new-yorkaise, dans la lignée de Diana Krall ou Shirley Horn. "Encensée par Downbeat et la presse new-yorkaise, Champian Fulton a baigné dans le jazz depuis son enfance. Rien ne lui a échappé de la tradition noire-américaine, surtout pas le swing." Jazz Magazine.

Le Champian Fulton Trio est un groupe de jazz dirigé par la pianiste et chanteuse Champian Fulton. Née en 1985 à Norman, Oklahoma, Champian Fulton a grandi dans une famille musicale, son père étant un trompettiste de jazz. Elle a commencé à jouer du piano à l'âge de cinq ans et s'est ensuite concentrée sur le piano et le chant après avoir essayé d'autres instruments.

Le trio de Champian Fulton comprend souvent le batteur Fukushi Tainaka et le bassiste Hide Tanaka. Ensemble, ils interprètent un mélange de standards de jazz et de compositions originales. Le trio s'est produit dans divers lieux, notamment au Birdland, au Smalls Jazz Club et au Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola314. Pour cette tournée française, elle sera accompagnée par le contrebassiste Alex Gilson et Amando Luongo à la batterie.

Champian Fulton est une figure bien établie sur la scène jazz de New York, ayant joué avec des musiciens notables tels que Lou Donaldson, Frank Wess et Scott Hamilton. Elle a sorti 14 albums en tant que leader et a été nommée Pianiste et Vocaliste de l'année par le sondage des lecteurs de Hot House Magazine en 20192.

Born in Norman Oklahoma in 1985, Champian Fulton is recognized as the “most gifted pure Jazz singer of her generation” (Mark Stryker, the Detroit Free Press). A Jazz pianist and vocalist for more than 20 years, she has released 18 albums as a leader and has performed in more than 25 countries, both in concert and on TV. She has been recognized with numerous awards, including Album of the Year in the NYC Jazz Record (2018, 2020, 2023) and Pianist and Vocalist of the Year (2019) by Hot House Magazine. She regularly appears in both the Jazz Journalist Awards and Downbeats Rising Star Critics Poll.

“Fulton self-accompanies and solos on piano with harmonic sophistication, impeccable chops, a risk-friendly attitude and an idiosyncratic conceptual range spanning Bud Powell, Erroll Garner and several other way-stations, refracted into her own argot.” - Downbeat
