I'm sure you have some good informations ;o))))

Any date around Marseille, Montpellier or Nice ?

Maybe a festival with return to forever in the first part of the show (they play the 8th of july at the olympia in Paris ;o)))).

Why is always everything happening in Paris ?? Crying or Very sad

Hope they'll have a date more in the south !!!

Yeah yeah yeah!

A date has been announced during Paris Jazz Festival at the Parc Floral and it seems to be free!
July 26.

Sooooo cool.

5 euros the ticket for the entire day at the festival, really not expensive for the quality of music that'll be played.

Here are some informations available at this page :

http://www.parisjazzfestival2008.com/prep/FR/home-fr.html

Sam. 26 Juillet
15h SFJAZZ Collective
16h30 Steve Coleman + 5 Elements + Opus Akoben

Dim. 27 Juillet
15h David Murray
16h30 Stefano Di Battista

Last show of 5 Elements & Opus Akoben @ Sons d'Hiver was awesome, just can't wait to see that one.

I heard Robin Eubanks and Miguel Zenon are members of the SFJAZZ Collective, so it can't be anything but great !

And David Murray on sunday afternoon with Hamid Drake on drums.

This late july week-end sounds really good !

I've just phoned the people in charge of the festival and they told me there would be no pre sale and that the tickets would be available at the parc Floral the day of the show.
The man told me he was not even sure ( he said "I don't think it would be possible") it would be possible to purchase ticket the day before.

He told me that if I wanted to be sure to see the concert, I should come early and wait.

Anybody has ever been there, knowing the size of the concert open air space?
Any chance to create a ticket list for the Forum/Steve Coleman Archives people...?

Best.

That would be cool.

And if it do not work, maybe I could come up early in the morning and secure tickets for some people, providing they all come to pick them up and buy them from me at a certain time before the show...

Just an idea, but then again I don't know if the Parc Floral people will allow many tickets at the same person.. even if due to my financial limitations it would not be that many... Laughing

Best.

Hello Dimitri.

Hot damn, I'm 99,9% sure I will not be able to make it to Paris for Steve Coleman's concert at the Parc Floral. Crying or Very sad

Sh*t I planned this trip months ago, I was so happy to see see/hear 5 Elements and Opus Akoben live again.

Do you plan to record the show on video or audio?

I gonna keep my fingers crossed, who knows, maybe the 0,1% option is going to work.

Best.
