Agenda of the evening
- Jānis Fedotovs
Né en 1994 en Lettonie, Jānis Fedotovs commence les percussions à l'âge de 5 ans. À 14 ans, il commence à se spécialiser en vibraphone, percussion proche du piano, instrument rare parmi les plus récents de ceux qui composent un orchestre symphonique. À la même période, alors qu'il attend le début d'un cours de percussion au lycée professionnel de musique Emils Darzins, il commence à improviser avec un joueur de batterie. Le duo est rejoint dans les semaines qui suivent par un bassiste et un guitariste : ce sera le premier groupe de jazz de Jānis Fedotovs. En parallèle de cette pratique, il obtient de nombreux prix de musique classique (Prix spécial Richards Zaļupe au Concours National des instruments à vent en 2009, Premier prix au Concours International de Percussion à Fermo en Italie, catégorie vibraphone en 2012, Grand Prix de Musique de Lettonie catégorie Nouvel artiste de l'année et Concours Ineses Galantes talanti en 2014) et joue comme soliste au sein de plusieurs orchestres (orchestre symphonique National de Lettonie, Orchestre symphonique de Jazeps Vitols, etc.). Désireux d'approfondir sa pratique du jazz et du vibraphone, Jānis s'installe en France où il suit les cours d'Emmanuel Séjourné et d'Eric Watson au sein de la Haute École des Arts du Rhin, Conservatoire de Strasbourg. Il poursuit sa pratique de la composition, qu'il a également commencé très jeune, et alterne entre son poste de soliste au sein de différents orchestres et sa participation à des festivals comme Jazzdor, Artissimo, Inese Galante Summertime, Saulkrasti Jazz se produisant en Lettonie, en France, en Suisse, en Allemagne et au Luxembourg. En 2020, Janis rassemble autour de lui trois musiciens, pianiste, contrebassiste et batteur rencontrés au cours de son parcours, et fonde le Janis Fedotovs Quartet. Ce groupe, construit autour des compositions du vibraphoniste, allie influences pop, électro et métal, avec le goût pour l'improvisation et du dialogue propre au jazz. En parallèle des concerts du Quartet ou de ses productions solo en France et à l'étranger, Janis enseigne en tant que professeur de percussion au Conservatoire de Montesson.

Reviews Highlight
I've been to several of these events in the past year, and my favorite was the first one. The dancing and the atmosphere made it feel like we all knew each other, creating a fun experience. It feels like friends coming together for jam sessions at the end, which is really sweet. Another aspect I appreciate is having professional musicians involved, keeping the quality high. Overall, I really, really enjoyed the experience. I can't wait to go again!
My flatmate is a singer and she performs at loving room regularly, so I came here to support her. I liked my flatmate’s performance very much but also the third singer Abigael. She made me so emotional, I am really impressed. She was very open about her experiences and she shared quite some deep details. And then her music. I don’t speak Spanish, but it was just beautiful. Her last song was in English and it made me cry. The space is really nice too, I ordered a burger, its tasty and overall its cozy. I didn’t plan to stay for long, but I am already here longer than expected and I am not planning to leave.
I was looking for events online to go with my boyfriend and I saw this one and I thought it’s a nice one to go. I was not expecting the artists would be so good, and now I love it. My favorite artist was the third one, and I am definitely going to follow her on spotify. Personally, I love everything here honestly, also the atmosphere here. You told me you do it in different cafes, and its going to be a different experience every time, so far I love it.
I think it's funny, when I walked in I thought, oh, is this a meeting place? Is this a supermarket or an organic store? But I really like this. It's just something I've never experienced before.
I was thrilled with the idea of incorporating culture, which attracted more young people. I love connecting with people of all ages, seeing different faces, and enjoying the diverse music from around the world. It's a perfect match for us, gathering in the garden with people from Portugal, Syria, Turkey, Tunisia, and more. When I feel down after watching the news, coming here, hearing the music, and seeing young faces cheers me up.
