The evening began with a performance by students from the Niort conservatory, from the Jazz and Amplified Contemporary Music classes, who had the chance to open the show. This event was a collaboration with the Niort Jazz Festival and the Conservatoire de Niort.
Fred Wesley on trombone was joined by the trio Generations, featuring Leonardo Corradi on organ and Tony Match on drums. Originally created as a tribute to the jazz of Jimmy Smith, the group presented a show blending traditional jazz, African rhythms, and electronic sounds.
