Jan Garbarek & Trilok Gurtu at the Parc Floral - Paris

Last Sunday was the first day of the Paris Jazz Festival at the Parc Floral. For the opening of the festival, everything was just perfect: sunny but not too hot, not very crowded, the sound was just fine...




The Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek played with Trilok Gurtu, an Indian percussionist and the result was great musical dialogues with quite complex rhythms and rather exceptionally rich melodies.

The music echoed in the entire park, as people were lying on the grass all over the place, sunbathing and listening to great music.

Here are a few photos I took there:

If you're in Paris and would like to go to the festival, there is still time!
