The very first jazz album was released 100 years ago: The Original Dixieland Jass Band with ‘Livery Stable Blues’. That’s why AB will be paying extra attention to jazz for a year. From contemporary classics to musical troublemakers who are inspired by jazz, to the latest incredibly headstrong jazz generation from local soil.

WHAT?
Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville, a first-class Canadian orchestra, will accompany the integral screening of this acclaimed animation film live, led by composer Benoît Charest.

FOR FANS OF
Josephine Baker, Fred Astaire, The Andrews Sisters, groundbreaking cinema, inventive live swinging jazz, sport & horror... Hot Club de France

AWARDS
There were countless nominations for the likes of Oscars, Grammys, …up to and including a César for 'Best Music’.

AB TIDBIT
Fits right into our select series of live film & music such as Sunrise/Aurore with Zita Swoon, Café Zonder Bier with Daan, Man With A Movie Camera with Cinematic Orchestra, Nanook Of The North with, that’s right: Nanook alias André Goudbeek & Co.

FUN FACT
the film was a French-Canadian co-production, but also had a third Belgian partner and so this ciné-concert fits right into this rather 'national' December month with the likes of Front 242, K's Choice... and even more soon...
