Argentina-France: A Jazz Re-match, First Half [Mondo Jazz 223-1]

Welcome to the second half of the jazz re-match between Argentina and France that we are hosting this week, inspired by the recent World Cup finals. It is a fantasy game in which the rules are a bit different with the two teams playing jazz, not football, together, rather than against each other. In jazz, unlike in sports, there are no winners or losers, and the best things come out when there’s collaboration rather than competition. So this week we host a Franco-Argentinean jazz pas-de-deux celebrating the jazz traditions of the two countries whose national teams made it to the World Cup finals. The playlist features Richard Galliano; Minino Garay; Médéric Collignon; Camille Bertault [pictured], David Helbock; Roxana Amed; Ibrahim Maalouf; Leïla Martial; Juan Bayon; Papanosh; Avantango; Thomas de Pourquery; Dino Saluzzi; and Manu Codjia.
