Contemporary jazz, groove and urban textures
On June 18, Toots Jazz Club welcomes Alexis Valet & The Cypher, a bold project led by vibraphonist and composer Alexis Valet, one of the most exciting voices of the new European jazz scene.
With The Cypher, Valet brings together a new generation of adventurous musicians around a vibrant and forward-looking jazz language, where modern improvisation meets hip-hop rhythms, organic grooves and subtle electronic textures. Rooted in the African-American jazz tradition while embracing today’s urban aesthetics, the band creates a sound that is sophisticated, immersive and firmly connected to the present.
On stage, the quintet delivers an intense and captivating experience, moving between cinematic atmospheres, hypnotic pulses, spontaneous interplay and virtuosic flights.
A night dedicated to groove, invention and the new energy of European jazz — not to be missed at Toots Jazz Club.
