George Gershwin, a major composer of the 20th century, fused jazz and classical music, opening up new sound horizons and influencing generations of composers. He redefined the boundaries of American music and left an indelible legacy in music history.

The 17 musicians of the Amazing Keystone Big Band (Victoire du Jazz – Best Orchestra), reinvent this legacy in a joyful, brassy way. Accompanied by singers Neima Naouri, Charlotte Wassy, Pablo Campos, Fleur Worku, Paloma Pradal and Anne Sila, they offer original, supercharged versions of George Gershwin’s most beautiful love songs.

From Someone to Watch Over Me to I Loves You Porgy, from Summertime to The Man I Love, including Fascinating Rhythm, Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off and I Got Rhythm, the orchestra invites you to a concert packed with emotion, energy and improvisation, with grace, daring and virtuosity.
