A concert open to all in the cloister of a hospital, in Nanterre, on July 11
The TM+ ensemble is never short of ideas to take willing listeners on journeys that defy time and space. The one, free, offered on Monday July 11 as part of the OuVERTures festival in Ile-de-France, will range from baroque (English, German, French) to contemporary (Bruno Giner, Klaus Huber, Ivan Fedele) with a crew of three heads (soprano Gaëlle Méchaly, violist Emmanuel Balssa, cellist David Simpson). Solo instrumental pieces will punctuate a vocal journey based on duets on the theme of happy or unhappy love. In the open air, in the unexpected site of a hospital cloister. Pierre Gervasoni
Cloister of the Max Fourestier hospital, 403 avenue de la République, Nanterre. July 11, at 5:30 p.m. Free admission. Tmplus.org
Bassist Stanley Clarke, at the Théâtre Traversière, in Paris, on July 11 and 12
Bassist, before the age of 20, for the pianist Horace Silver, then in 1971 for the saxophonist Joe Henderson, Stanley Clarke was in 1972 the co-founder with the pianist Chick Corea of the jazz fusion group Return To Forever. The formation, first partly acoustic, has become one of the great references of electric jazz-rock. Stanley Clarke has developed a virtuoso, swift playing, this time on the electric bass. Whether with Return To Forever, leading his own bands – his first four records from the 1970s, Children of Forever, Stanley Clarke, Journey to Love et School Days remain references – or as a guide.
On a European tour, he will be in Paris, for his only two concerts in France this summer at the Théâtre Traversière on July 11 and 12, with keyboardist Jahari Stampley, guitarist Colin Cook and drummer Jeremiah Collier. Should be played in particular excerpts from his latest album, The Message (Mack Avenue Records), released in 2018. Sylvain Siclier
