NUBU

Blending jazz, folk songs, and improvisation, NUBU (an acronym for Nahash Urban Brass Unit) creates its own unique style, a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. The group playfully brings together instruments from different eras: the serpent, the European ancestor of the tuba, the flugabone, designed more recently for its practicality in marching bands, the trombone, animal-skin percussion, and the double bass. The voices form a distinct element, elastic and bouncy, fueled by rhythmic patterns, yodeling, and shouts. By playfully exploring different eras, NUBU offers the serpent, with the mystical resonance it evokes and its long-forgotten timbre, an unexpected place in a breathtaking present.

Line-up:

• Elisabeth Coxall (serpent)
• Victor Auffray (flugabone)
• Thibaut Du Cheyron (trombone)
• Marion Ruault (double bass)
• Guillaume Lys (percussion)

Group supported by Paris Jazz Club – Île-de-France
