Carte blanche à Jeanne Michard

| Jazz, groove, electro

Jeanne Michard, a saxophonist and composer who won the “Revelation” category at the 2023 Victoires du Jazz with two critically acclaimed albums, is now firmly established in the French jazz scene.

As both a bandleader and a sideman, she shares the stage with artists such as Rhoda Scott, Emile Londonien, and Hugh Coltman, as well as with several collectives, including the Paris Jazz Sessions, the Zoot Collectif, and Déluge—all active and recognized musicians on the French and international jazz scenes. She also ventured into the electro/hip-hop scene by joining the Chinese Man collective in 2025. As both a performer and composer, her collaborations led her to write and arrange for various ensembles ranging from quintets to big bands and marching bands. In 2025, she moved closer to the electro-groove scene with new creative projects. In search of new sounds and collaborations, she works on a repertoire with electronic and saturated accents, shifting from a trans rock vibe to a dreamy world layered with synthesizers. Le 38 Riv has given her carte blanche to present this creation for the first time, which she will perform over three dates with three different ensembles assembled specifically for these occasions.
