Led by singer and composer Juliette Meyer, this quartet brings together contemporary jazz, improvisation, electronica and poetry, creating a strange, singular music that reflects its name, taken from the Old French: Haléïs, le cri retentissant!
You can hear the medieval songs of Jean Richafort, the cheeky Occitanie, the seventies experiments of Saravah and the new Franco-Swiss school of jazzpunk-pop. Haléïs invites you to explore, to take musical byways, to curl up with a fascinating mix.
This concert is supported by Jazz Migration.
