Neil Saïdi & Noé Codjia Quintet

Neil Saidi and Noé Codjia became friends while studying in New York, and upon their return to France in 2016, they founded the Zoot Collectif. Their credo? To give pride of place to tradition with a totally uninhibited freshness! The two friends will perform “Indi-Gêne?”, their quintet’s first album. Backed by a top-notch rhythm section, they will immerse us in their original repertoire inspired by the great quintets that have marked the history of jazz.

JAM SESSIONS
After the concerts, the Châtelet will exceptionally open the doors of its sumptuous Nijinsky Foyer to the public, which will be transformed into a jazz club for the occasion… so the party continues every evening with a wild jam session! At the helm is piano maestro and pillar of the Rue des Lombards, Fred Nardin!
