Rita Payés at Jazz à La Villette, September 6 2025

A digest of some excerpts from Rita Payés (and company) at La Villette, a fabulous concert that should have been filmed properly for the benefit of all those who couldn't be there – with an image fall out during the harmonica solo, probably because of the emotion the iPhone could not withhold, but I kept the sequence anyway because music is the issue here. Many sequences display rather unique occurrences in Rita's recorded shows. I've published an article on that concert on the All About Jazz web site: https://www.allaboutjazz.com/rita-pay... Cast : Rita Payés-Roma (voice, trombone, guitar, direction), Elisabeth Roma (guitar), Horacio Fumero (bass), Pol Battle (guitar, voice), Juan R. Berbín (percussion, drums), the string quartet (Paula Sanzalas and Marina Arrufat Grau on violins, Nina Sunyer Vidal on viola and Irma Bau Rubinat on cello), and as invited guests : Antoine Boyer on guitar and Yore Kim on harmonica.
