[Na]: a chemical element of enthusiastic disobedience. This is found in the punctuated piano strokes of Monk or the Afro-Dutch distortion of The Ex and Getatchew Mekurya. The Chicago School, with its libertarian and supportive tendencies, from the Art Ensemble to Jaimie Branch, has written many treatises on it. The new trio of Selma Namata Doyen, Rémi Psaume and Raphaël Szöllösy experiments with these concepts, drawing on formulas haunted by Mandingue lyricism as much as by electric drones. Their first EP, recorded in a legendary barn in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, was released in May 2023.

Concert presented as part of Jazz Migration, a support program for young emerging jazz and improvised music artists led by AJC, with the support of the French Ministry of Culture, the BNP Paribas Foundation, SACEM, ADAMI, SPEDIDAM, CNM, SPPF, and the French Institute.
