“The summer evenings are the highlight of the concerts and performances that, throughout the year, mark the rhythm of life on the Côte d’Azur,” says the mayor of La Gaude, Michel Meïni.
The summer will be enriched by these evenings on July 21, 29, and 31, as well as on August 11.
Free and open to a wide audience, the program combines music and theater, all at the flavor market, outdoors in the gentle summer of La Gaude.
-CANNES REGIONAL SCHOOL OF ACTORS
Thursday, July 21, 2011, at 9 PM at the Flavor Market
“No more watering, thank you”
It’s difficult to talk about an event that is based on the day, the time, the mood, the location, the residents, the tourists…
Let’s talk rather about a bet than a show.
Let’s make an appointment for an evening, take over a village square, wait for the night to fall, for the family to be complete, for the absentees to show up…
-ORIGINAL COSOLETO BROTHERS

– DENIA RIDLEY QUARTET
Sunday, July 31, at 9 PM at the Flavor Market

-MELLOW SWING – JAZZ
Thursday, August 11, at 9 PM at the Marcel Pagnol School
Listening to them, one can easily feel as if they are in a saloon in the French Quarter of New Orleans, or even one of those “charming” houses where swing was born.
Mellow Swing is an original and talented jazz ensemble, atypical in the Côte d’Azur context. Indeed, this group, far from the overused standards, beautifully highlights the freshness and jazz swing as it could be heard in the cabarets and jazz clubs from the 1920s to the 1950s.
Mellow Swing strives to revive a repertoire of artists who blended jazz, blues, and popularity, such as Rose Murphy, Little Esther, Billie Holiday, or Nat King Cole.
