MY MINI MARSEILLE JAZZ DES CINQ CONTINENTS
School public
1. Sachem workshops – The Jazz Child
Sachem (Fred Pichot) tells the story of his encounter with the Jazz Child who lives in harmony with Nature. Together they celebrate the beauty of existence in a musical journey where Blues, Swing, Groove, cross rituals of the five continents with the aim of getting rid of the sixth: the plastic continent… Then the freedom of jazz agrees with the ecological conscience. Objects recycled into musical instruments transform the future… “Throw away less and create more” would be the optimistic and educational leitmotiv of this musical adventure.
In 2022, 16 stopovers of Sachem in 16 elementary schools of the city of Marseille :
Estaque-plage School, Emile Vayssiere School 1, Martegaux School, Saint-Barnabé School, Gillibert-Olivier School, Sainte-Sophie School…
