Noria Letts: La Musique

Forget the introspection, it’s an evening of brilliant music, technical virtuosity and joyous entertainment. It’s original, it’s improvisational, it’s energetic, it’s jazz, featuring some of Australia’s top musicians all with years of experience playing here and touring overseas.

It’s a musical melting pot, cooking up an eclectic mix of music from the French – the likes of Gainsbourg, Michel LeGrand and Camille Bertault – through to the giants of the US – Coltrane (yes, Giant Steps with French lyrics) and Monkand Brubeck, with a nod to their epic Parisian live recordings.

The contemporary French feel is enriched by the presence of Reza Kashi’soud, reflecting France’s multicultural diversity, Noria’s heritage and her love of the complex rhythms and melodies of the Maghreb.
