The much-anticipated self-titled album from St Germain (Ludovic Navarre), which came 15 years after his last album, Tourist, was released on Nonesuch Records in October 2015 to acclaim. Navarre "remains a sly master of the textural mix," says NPR, and the Wall Street Journal calls it "a clever and very pleasing album, one that justifies the long wait." In support of St Germain, Navarre has embarked on a world tour. In a four-star review of his London concert, the Times wrote: "[St Germain] filled the hall with an ocean of sound. Western instruments mingled with African strings … it took flight, unfurling into life-affirming polyrhythmic jams." Navarre brings the show to North America this spring. A full itinerary is below.

For the St Germain live show, which KCRW calls "a must see at this year's Coachella," Navarre will be joined by revered Malian guitarist and n'goni player Guimba Kouyate (whom Brian Eno recently heralded as "the greatest guitar player I've heard for years and years"), Senegalese kora player Cheikh Lo Ouza Diallo, and Brazilian percussionist Jorge Bezerra, all of whom perform on the album, as well as Didier Davidas (keyboard), Sadio Kone (n'goni), Edouard Labor (saxophone & flute) and Sullyvan Rhino (bass), with Navarre himself at the center, acting as musical director.
This Friday, March 11, Navarre digitally releases a new set of four remixes of tracks from the current album, including a remix of "Real Blues" by DJ Deep & Roman Poncet, and three versions of "Sittin Here," by Atjazz, Boddhi Satva Ancestral Soul and a Terry Laird Deep Duba Mix. You can get it on iTunes.
St Germain's albums Boulevard (1995) and Tourist originated a genre of French electronic music. His self-titled record marries percussive grooves, always central to his sound, with traditional Malian instruments.
St Germain features various musicians and singers from the African diaspora and beyond including the touring band's Kouyate, Diallo, and Bezerra, Malian kora player Mamadou Cherif Soumano, Malian violinist and vocalist Zoumana Tereta on "How Dare You," Senegalese bass player Alioune Wade Malian n'goni player Adama Coulibaly (on "Family Tree"), Malian vocalists Nahawa Doumbia (on "Sittin' Here") and Fanta Babayogo, among others.

“One of the most majestic and stunning singers on the current scene,” TSF Jazz host Jean-Charles Doukhan says of Cécile McLorin Salvant, his guest on Deli Express, in translation from the French. “Each of her albums is a masterstroke. And each of her concerts is a powerful and unforgettable experience.” Of her new album, Mélusine, he exclaims: “As always, brilliant!” You can watch Salvant’s performance of the album track “Le temps est assassin” in the TSF Jazz studio with Glenn Zaleski on piano and Keita Ogawa on percussion here.
Cécile McLorin Salvant's album Mélusine is a mix of originals and interpretations of songs dating as far back as the 12th century, mostly sung in French along with Occitan, English, and Haitian Kreyòl. They tell the folk tale of Mélusine, a woman who turns into a half-snake each Saturday after a childhood curse by her mother. She has shared a new live performance video of the album track "Doudou," which you can watch here. "Anyone who thinks they already know the full extent of Cécile McLorin Salvant's artistry should listen to Mélusine without further delay," exclaims Jazzwise. "It's a remarkable recording in several respects. Beautifully recorded, Salvant continues to confound and delight at every turn."
