For this last quarter, La Forestière, at Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines), offers a cycle of six evenings, with a line of programming unchanged for years. The master of the house created in 1928 by his grandparents, remembers.
“When I was little, my grandfather made me listen to Chopin, or great operas. I have been immersed in classical music all my life, and I came to jazz much later: one of my clients had a recording studio reserved for jazz, and made me discover this musical genre which has an improvisation side. that we do not find in the classic. “
“Jazz is a big family”
Once the meal is over, the guests settle down “at home” to turn towards the stage, respecting the rules of distancing. Philippe Cazaudehore has no difficulty finding artists for his season.
“I trust my” turner “, Dany Doriz, host at the Caveau de la Huchette who allows me to have foreign musicians passing through Paris, and also Aurore Voilqué, violinist who accompanies Thomas Dutronc, and who also organizes jazz evenings in his restaurant. Jazz is a big family. “
The important thing is to share
This enthusiast quotes among his beautiful encounters Thomas Dutronc who made a splash with his gypsy guitar, Cecil Mac Lorin that he had committed after hearing 3 measures, or Matthieu Boré, talented pianist and a formidable crooner voice.
Philippe listens to music five hours a day. He owns more than 3,000 CDs, mostly classical, and for jazz, it stops in the 60s, which does not prevent him from believing in the arrival of a new generation, which he will listen to on the street. of the Lombards.
“Music is part of my universe, it allows me to escape, like sculpture, which is another passion: these are two very comparable ways of communicating, because for me, the important thing is to share. “
For Philippe Cazaudehore, it is essential to ensure that the performing arts restart.
“Artists need it, they have ‘toasted’ a lot,” he says. This week I attended a back-to-school show at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, we feel that people want to listen to live music again, see the artists in the flesh, that’s why that I restart. “
