Marseille Jazz invites you to a three-part teleportation. The first takes us back to 7 May 1966 in London, to the Royal Albert Hall. Bob Dylan had just brought one of his most chaotic tours to a close, creating a Watergate before its time by abandoning his acoustic protest songs for much less militant songs bathed in electric guitar! What a shock! A second trip back in time propels us 56 years later, on 5 November 2022. That evening Cat Power will reinterpret this legendary and electric Royal Albert Hall concert and record it on an incredible album entitled “Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert”. The last teleportation is scheduled for 10 July on the stage of the Palais Longchamp, where Cat Power will take us back through this page in history with her emotions, her modernity and her very special way of taming the covers between respect and disobedience.
