Info for Deadjazz (Plays The Music of the Grateful Dead)

Less a homage than an interpretation, less a rereading than a resurrection, Deadjazz gives new life to the music of the Grateful Dead, the legendary group of the psychedelic era. Drawing inspiration from a cult repertoire, played by musicians who have had an unwavering bond with the Belmondo brothers for decades, this collective project is an immersion in a crucial moment in the history of music: when jazz became electric to the rhythms of rock and rock freed itself from the constraints of the song format through improvisation.

Stéphane Belmondo, trumpet, flugelhorn
Lionel Belmondo, tenor and soprano saxophones, flute
Thomas Bramerie, double bass
Eric Legnini, Fender Rhodes
Laurent Fickelson, Farfisa organ & Fender Rhodes
Dré Pallemaerts, drums

Belmondo Dead Jazz
Jazz's (definitely) not dead! With their 'Dead Jazz' project, the Belmondo brothers (trumpet and saxophone) embark on a journey through time and space, revisiting the dense, psychedelic universe of the Grateful Dead and taking them straight back to the San Francisco of the turbulent sixties: a rereading of the Dead's finest pages that promises to be a wild experience! The very electric rock of the cult Californian band has often docked on the shores of jazz fusion, to which the Belmondo brothers, backed by the amazing keyboards of Éric Legnini and Laurent Fickelson, offer an inspired tribute.
