Le French May Arts festival presents its 4th Live Jazz Series and this time in collaboration with World Jazz Live Series. Enjoy the ride: you will be listening to the soulful music and rhythms of some of today’s most talented jazz musicians inspired by different cultures. The second night features Riddles – the duo piano performance by Ray Lema & Laurent de Wilde. The two men – who met twenty-five years ago – love to exchange their ideas and decided to continue the conversation in music. For this project, they shared the same belief: play as few notes as possible, and only the good ones. This 60-minute performance is scarce with maxing jazz and African music as well as difficult to compose and perform the melody in a perfect balance by two pianos. Through Ray and Laurent, we can hear two captivating worlds colliding towards each other. But they meet under one philosophy that puts listening and sharing at the highest peak of their musical ambition.
