JAZZ ON5
Gregoire Maret & the French Connection (CH/USA/FRA/POL)

Grégoire moved to New York City to study at the New School University's Jazz Department in New York City upon graduating from the prestigious Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique de Genève. Today he is one of the most sought after harmonica players in the world: often compared to legends Toots Thielemans and Stevie Wonder, he has been asked to play with many famous musicians, including Youssn’Dour, Me' Shell Ndegeocello, Pete Seeger, David Sanborn, George Benson and Cassandra Wilson. After many famous cooperations he released his first album as a leader at 2012.  The eponymous album features such notable guests as vocalist Cassandra Wilson, bassist Marcus Miller, guitarist Raul Midón, Mark Kibble and Alvin Chea of Take 6, and the legendary harmonica player Toots Thielemans. Gregoire said about  Jazz Dock concert: "...we will perform the music of my latest Album WANTED which is the first part of a triptyque about life in the US for an africain american or more precisely how i feel about the political, social situation in the US today…"
