Editorials
Obviously, this 12th edition of the Fall Festival in Creuse will be an excellent vintage. As proof, the diversity of the music on offer. The originality of the program, combining music, painting, photography, cinema, will delight all jazz lovers.
The agreements of Jo Privat and his musette swing, the sounds of Bechet and Cuban rhythms will resonate from La Souterraine to Gentioux, passing through Bonnat and Saint-Amand-Jartoudeix, making these days, the meeting of music without borders.
This musical presence, in rural communities and throughout the departmental territory particularly appeals to me, because it makes music accessible to all. The General Council supports this festival which will once again demonstrate that we can - and this is the strength of the associative world - link the words "popular" and "quality".
We congratulate the animation team, all the volunteers who worked hard for the success of these
Musical meetings, to, over the years, make this department "a land of jazz".
Good festival to all !
Jean-Jacques Lozach, President of the General Council of Creuse, Senator of Creuse
Jazz would have been invented in a ballroom in New Orleans by Buddy Bolden in 1884. Whether it is a legend or not, it is certain that the link between jazz and dance dates from the origins and that the history of this symbiosis will last until the day when jazz, never ceasing to evolve, will rather become concert music, thus pushing the dancers to take refuge in music derived from jazz: rhythm'n'blues, soul, rock ' n'roll, funk and today rap or hip hop.
Respectful of its history, we therefore wanted to offer you evenings where jazz will meet dance, where everyone can, if they wish, sketch a few steps from charleston, lindy hop, boogie-woogie, tap dancing and even of Latin jazz with the extraordinary Cuban Habana Sax group!
We also wanted, in this commemorative year, to pay a much-deserved tribute to one of the greatest figures of jazz that was Sidney Bechet by inviting one of his best French disciples: Alain Meaume. In addition, fighting against the chapel wars to better promote jazz in all its forms, we strongly invite you to come and discover the world of our current creators such as François Jeanneau and his Bernica Octet or Denis Leloup during his concert “A three times ”.
Finally and to conclude, how can we ignore the beautiful exhibition of paintings by our friend and President Claude Laroudie that we encourage you to visit during this 12th Fall Festival in Creuse!
To all, a very good festival and… keep swingin '!
Thierry Bourguignon, Art Director
At a time for which each event is dissected, statistically, audience-rated, we make an extremely simple observation that puts us at heart: you are more and more numerous to attend the swinging and pulsating events of Jazz at La Sout.
Before the war the Zazous were born, after the war, the Cave Rats; not long ago the Digitabulolavoplanchists appeared who exercise their art on sheets more or less wavy, their fingers covered with thimbles. Today, it is clear that before our amazed eyes have just seen the day “jazzalasoutophiles”, unconditional followers of the phalanges who slap in marking the tempo and toes which hit the ground in time. This neologism should henceforth be an integral part of your vocabulary.
Let the “jazzalasoutophobes” (unprotected endangered species) reassure themselves: we think of them and we offer them a festive and convivial method to face the crisis and the gloomy mood.
Join our ranks and attend the Jazz concerts at Sout without moderation !!!
Jazzmity to all.
Claude Laroudie, President of Jazz at La Sout, 1st Vice-president of Musique (s) en Marche

A word from the Director
The Autumn Festival in Creuse de Jazz at La Sout is today a major cultural event in our region.
With nearly 2000 spectators last year, a program ranging from traditional jazz to creative jazz, regional artists as well as national and international renown, diverse places both in town and in the countryside, rich and varied partnerships, this appointment is fully in line with a cultural policy of quality, proximity and for all. The 2008 festival will be no exception to the rule. It will even have a very special resonance thanks to the talent and charm of our Ladies, guests of honor of this 11th edition.
Finally, how not to thank the volunteers, the public, the artists, the technicians and the various partners who remain the architects of this beautiful and wonderful human adventure.
Very good festival to all.
Thierry Bourguignon, Art Director
A word from the President
The Jazz Autumn Festival at La Sout promises to be auspicious!
This year, to jazz, we have added a pinch of elegance and a zest of charm since this festival is dedicated to female jazz with, as a highlight (if I dare say) two keyboard fairies, Rhoda Scott and Carine Bonnefoy.
Pleasure for the ears, pleasure for the eyes, but also for the taste buds because gourmets will not be forgotten. Always with the same spirit of simplicity, friendship and friendliness that drives the Jazz team at La Sout, the guest artists and the public, here are three weeks to taste all the universes of jazz in churches and the rooms of our beautiful department in the Creuse.
Jazzically yours.

10 years of festival
While in France festivals are finding it increasingly difficult to live, the Jazz team at La Sout begins with this event a year of festivities to celebrate its ten years of existence.
An opportunity to take stock, in pictures, of the magic moments shared with the family as a family. A decade made of music, meetings, and of course friendships ...
A word from the President
When I arrived at Jazz at La Sout, a few months ago, I was surprised by the simplicity and the friendship that unite the members of this association. These two essential qualities make the invited artists experience a real pleasure to come and perform in our region as the reception which is reserved for them is most warm.
Also, I hope that for a long time, with this same team, we will continue to bring to life this spirit conducive to meetings and deep friendships, and offer you jazz performances always of very high quality.
Jazzically yours.
Claude Laroudie, President of Jazz at La Sout, 1st Vice-president of Musique (s) en Marche
A word from the Director
Music is popular when it reaches a large and varied audience. A festival is popular when it promotes the meeting of audiences of different social and cultural origins. It is in this spirit that the Jazz Festival at La Sout, now the Festival d'Automne en Creuse, has developed for almost a decade. Thus, this 10th edition will not derogate from the rule: eclecticism and of course quality should be at the rendezvous with traditional jazz, be-bop, swing or even creative jazz.
Finally that happiness!
Thierry Bourguignon, Art Director

President's editorial
If biguine is not found anywhere else than in the French Antilles, its birth and evolution are in many ways comparable to that of jazz.
Like Louis Armstrong in New Orleans for traditional jazz, the clarinetist Alexandre Stellio, thanks to his talent and his notoriety, will remain the West Indian musician who allowed the biguine to get out of his condition of “local folklore” to become a fully-fledged and recognized musical trend across Europe. At that time, many musicians followed suit such as Eugène Delouche, Felix Falvert, Ernest Léardée, Al Lirvat, Robert Mavounzy… And today, Alain Jean-Marie, Eddy Louiss, David Fackeure or Gérard Tarquin, all embody with happiness and talent, each in their own way, the osmosis between jazz and Caribbean music.
From be-bop to Creole mazurka, from biguine to Latin-jazz, from swing to the Caribbean waltz, so many spicy, sunny and mixed feelings await you during this 9th Autumn Festival in Creuse de Jazz à La Sout.
To all, a very good festival!
Thierry Bourguignon, President

Espace de l'Ecluse l La Souterraine

Blachon, Bridenne and Samson, all three great sports specialists, detail with a vivid imagination on the verge of delirium their vision of jazz artists. Because in effect, is the mountaineer attacking Everest so far from the double bass player attached to his instrument ... does the fencer have nothing in common with the trombonist ...? So many questions to which these three artists found the most surprising answers, sometimes naughty, often silly and always funny ...

The Caribbean Voices have chosen this unique repertoire that offers hope and joie de vivre through a message of peace and love. All the themes, far from being interpreted in a traditional way, are almost recreated, and the symbiosis which reigns within the group is remarkable.

“Martial is part of the small world of great pianists whose language is immediately recognizable. Without doubt the only one in France. His transcendental virtuosity, envied by many classics, makes him the direct heir of Art Tatum. Parodies, bubbling arpeggios, terrifying octaves (especially for other pianists!), With him virtuosity rises to the rank of Art. "(François Couturier, pianist)
