Jazz Factory Festival

Pink Turtle are the perfect embodiment of the spirit of La Fabrique du Jazz: seven accomplished musicians, all instrumentalists and singers, who have made jazz reinterpretation their artistic signature. Their speciality? Transforming the great standards of popular music into swinging jazz nuggets, with that famous ‘French touch’ that makes them so unique. After years of triumphant international touring that established their reputation, these tireless ambassadors of “swinging pop” are back on stage with a refined repertoire and a musical complicity strengthened by experience.

Each member brings his or her own musical personality to the table, while serving a collective vision of modern, accessible swing.

The 7th edition of La Fabrique du Jazz culminates in an exceptional event: Ibrahim Maalouf returns in force with his 17th album and his revolutionary musical project T.O.M.A (Trumpets of Michel-Ange). For the first time, the festival will be moving out of its traditional confines and taking over the Eurythmie space in a brand new open-air configuration, adding a whole new dimension to this celebration of jazz. A grand finale under the stars This exceptional open-air concert promises a unique sensory experience. The natural acoustics of the Eurythmie site, combined with the talent of these extraordinary musicians, will create a magical atmosphere to bring this 7th edition to a close. An evening of music under the stars, in the spirit of communion and sharing so dear to Hugues Panassié.

The T.O.M.A project brings together 9 exceptional musicians in a great musical adventure that transcends stylistic boundaries. Ibrahim Maalouf and his accomplices transport us to a fascinating universe where folklore and modernity become one, creating a unique alchemy that makes each concert a true intergenerational feast. This artistic approach fits perfectly with the DNA of La Fabrique du Jazz: honouring tradition while embracing innovation. Maalouf, with his quarter-tone trumpet and boundless musical vision, embodies the festival’s philosophy of openness and cultural cross-fertilisation.
