VINCENT COURTOIS : LES DÉMONS DE TOSCA + JULIAN SARTORIUS SOLO | 05th December @Périscope, Lyon
Les Démons de Tosca is one of French cellist Vincent Courtois’ latest projects, questioning the notion of Demons in the artistic invention. The project is a mix between acoustic and electric, with a lot of improvisation. While always remaining melodic, the music has to remain free but controlled, demanding but generous, deep and crystal clear, and ultimately providing for everybody present an instinctual, primitive, intimate and unique experience. For this special show, swiss drummer Julian Sartorius will be performing as part of the trio of Les Démons de Tosca, following his solo performance as an opening of this particular evening at Periscope.

THE GREAT HARRY HILLMAN | 13th December @periscope, Lyon
The Great Harry Hillman is a Swiss post-jazz quartet, which has been playing together for ten years. You’re correct to assume that a band named in tribute to an American athlete of the early 20th century is not your ‘normal’ jazz band adhering to staid standards. Their music combines jazz, rock, and improv into a subdued, layered, yet thrilling sound – quiet but powerful, played by four thoughtful musicians who are more than capable of rocking out when they feel like it. More often than not rather they wrap the listener in delicately constructed sonic webs of indefinable beauty. After Livingston (2013) and Veer Off Course (2015) The Great Harry Hillman now presents their 3rd album TILT (2017), released on Cuneiform Records.
