Jacques Schwarz-Bart: Confetti Jazz Festival


The French dubbed their colonies “Le Confetti” as if they were merely a place to party, but the rich musical heritage from Guadeloupe, Haiti, La Reunion and Martinique show deep roots and magical connection that go well beyond confetti.

Confetti Jazz Festival is a fusion of French and Caribbean musicians, featuring Jacques Schwarz- Bart, creating unique crossover sounds often called an intersection of sacred Haitian voodoo music and jazz, sounds destined to inspire conversations about race, politics and musical methodology. The Confetti Jazz weekend is a first attempt to showcase some of the artists and sounds, which emerged from these cross-pollinations.

"In the 21st century, there is no better news for jazz music than Jacques Schwarz-Bart: A sound like a messenger of the Gods, a loyalty to the rhythms, an incandescent furor, a flexibility of melodies played right." 
- Francis Marmande, Le Monde
