Too Many Zooz
Deluxe
With its contagious energy and its irresistible groove, the band from Aix-en-Provence Deluxe hurtles on the stage of the Théâtre Antique, freer than it has ever been. Deluxe tells a story of friendship and loyalty. It’s also a fan community electrified by its tremendous scenic performances. Self-taught artists, those five moustached men and the glowing singer Liliboy have only one principle: transforming music into a playground but also joyful and sharing moments. Nothing is more precious than independence: they have a DIY philosophy. Their emblem, the moustache, became a logo, sceneries, costumes and a mischievous wink to their creative freedom. Their last album Ça fait plaisir, which celebrates their return to self-production, gathers more artists, with guests specially invited for Jazz à Vienne and for the only concert in France: the French rising reggae artist Twan Tee, the American rapper Mr. J. Medeiros, the Latin jazz pianist Max Lizana as well as the Brazilian singer and multi-instrumentalist Luizga. We expect a great celebration. Jazz, funk, hip-hop, soul, reggae: everything gets mixed up, nothing fades away with happiness and groove.
Too Many Zooz
For some people, it was love at first sight in 2013, right in the middle of the night, in a New York subway train. Thousands of kilometres from there, others discovered the band on social media where their videos and their mix of styles (danceable electro, avant-garde jazz and punk) quickly became viral phenomena. This staggering “brass house” trio soon performed on all the greatest stages and seemed to be able to compete on a sound power level with any large orchestra. After six EP, two albums, many collaborations including one with Beyoncé and countless tours, the time when they were passing the hat round in the Big Apple streets seems now a distant memory. However, “Leo P”, a saxophonist and a baritone with an impressive footwork when dancing, the trumpet player Matt “Doe” Muirhead and the drummer David “King of Sludge” Parks have not lost either the art of surprising the audience or the contagious and hypnotic energy which made a name for themselves. Those experts of big events will use those distinctive features in a memorable night at the Théâtre Antique.
Line-up :
- Leo “Leo P” Pellegrino (baritone saxophone)
- Matt “Doe” Muirhead (trumpet)
- David “King of Sludge” Parks (drums, percussion)
