In the quite nebulous universe of the summer music festivals, one question keeps coming up. What miracle has allowed Jazz in Marciac , an event smelling sweetly of soil and penality tries, to gather the fi nest artists of international jazz on its rugby ground - which has yet nothing to do with an olympic stadium - for over a heavily programmed fortnight, and moreover for the last thirty six seasons ? Would the President (of JIM not of ASM) have some acquaintance with Bernadette Soubirous, his (high ) Pyrenean neighbour ? Or has he been dealing with some sort of occult and vague Hootchie Cootchie Man follower of a New Orleans magic juju ? Thus explaining Wynton Marsalis suspicious presence at each festival edition, and confi rming by the way the current rumours of a secret worshipping the Marciacais would devote to the cheerful trompet players, as his own statue erected in the village could already betray.But lets stop joking around ! For anyone having visited the premises, the answer is crystal clear. The best musicians of our times come back regularly to Marciac, simply because they feel good here. Thats why, this year again, theyre all rushing in to be part of the scene. From the blues brother Robert Cray to the batucada minister Gilberto Gil, from the Cuban Chucho Valds to the diva Diana Krall, from Miles Davis spoiled child Wayne Shorter to the fl amenco player Paco de Lucia, from the funk maniac Maceo Parker to the Turbo folk Goran Bregovic -the latter to the delight of the local serb community.Joe Cocker himself - having kept a fi ne memory of his last appearance in Marciac - is said to have favored his Gers venue at the expense of some umpteenth celebration of Woodstock. Regarding the new guests, one name stand out from the bill : George Benson whose smooth jazz hits should not let us forget that he has previously been known as Wes Montgomerys heir. Lets bet that with this musician also, the Marciac love affair is just about to start too.

Dens lunivrs un tansiput nebuls deus hestenaus musicaus de lestiu, ua medisha question que si torna a cada escasena. Per quin miracle ua amassada que sentish bon au terrador e lensai de penalitat coma Jazz in Marciac si escad per acampar pendent duas setmanas abondosament programadas, e atau dempui trenta-sheis sasons, lo beri monde deu jazz internacionau dens lo barralh deu son estadi que na aquel pas arren dOlimpic ? E lo President (de JIM, e non pas de lASM) entertenguer relacions de las privilegiadas damb los arrrhilhs de la Bernadeta Sobirs, la sua vesia (hauta) pirenenca, o aur passat quauque ocult acrd damb ua srta de Hootchie Cootchie Man adpte deu magic juju neo-orleans ? que explicar alavetz la presncia suspcta deu Wynton Marsalis a cada navra edicion e ahortir la rumor de lexistncia deu culte mescresent que vdan los Marciaqus au joviau trompetista, atau que natsta, dens lo vilatge, la sua estatua. Pro de contaralhas, la responsa quei praqu la quita evidncia ende tots los quan corrut los lcs. Los magrs musicians deu moment que tornan totjorn a Marciac, tot simplament pramor que si sentishen plan. Atau enguan, se sarran tots au rendetz-vos. Deu blues brother Robert Cray au ministre de la batucada Gilberto Gil, deu Cuban Chucho Valds a la diva Diana Krall, deu gojat vesiat deu Miles Wayne Shorter au fl amenquiste Paco de Lucia, deu maniac funk Maceo Parker au papa turbo flc Goran Bregovic, aqueste a la gran gaujor de la comunautat srba locau.Joe Cocker eth-medish, pramor qua guardat un soviner esmavut deu son passatge davant, aur se ditz, privilegiat lo Grs au detriment dua enau celebracion de Woodstock. Costat nautat un nom queus passan a tots. Lo deu George Benson, deu quau ne se caler pas desbrembar quavant de produsir los tubes smooth jazz FM, simpausc coma leretr deu Wes Montgomery. Hasm la joga quentre Marciac e aqueth tanben, listria ne hr pas que comenar.

Dans lunivers un rien nbuleux des festivals musicaux de lt, une mme question revient sempiternellement lordre du jour. Par quel miracle un rassemblement fl eurant bon le terroir et lessai de pnalit comme Jazz in Marciac parvient-il rassembler pendant deux semaines abondamment programmes, et ce depuis trente-six saisons, le gratin du jazz international dans lenceinte de son stade qui na pourtant rien dOlympique ? Le Prsident (de JIM pas de lASM) entretiendrait-il des rapports privilgis avec les descendants de Bernadette Soubirous, sa proche voisine (haute) pyrnenne, ou bien aurait-il pass quelque accord occulte avec un vague Hootchie Cootchie Man adepte du magic juju no-orlanais ? Ce qui expliquerait dailleurs la prsence suspecte de Wynton Marsalis chaque nouvelle dition et renforcerait la rumeur de lexistence du culte mcrant que vouent les Marciacais au jovial trompettiste, ainsi quen atteste, dans le village, la statue de celui-ci.Trve de balivernes, la rponse est pourtant lvidence mme pour tous ceux qui ont frquent les lieux. Les plus grands musiciens du moment reviennent rgulirement Marciac, tout simplement parce quils sy sentent bien. Ainsi cette anne, se pressent-ils tous au rendez-vous. Du blues brother Robert Cray au ministre de la batucada Gilberto Gil, du Cubain Chucho Valds la diva Diana Krall, de lenfant gt de Miles Wayne Shorter au fl amenquiste Paco de Lucia, du maniaque funk Maceo Parker au pape turbo folk Goran Bregovic, ce dernier la plus grande joie de la communaut serbe locale.Joe Cocker lui-mme, parce quil a conserv un souvenir mu de son prcdent passage, aurait dit-on, privilgi le Gers au dtriment dune nime clbration de Woodstock. Ct nouveauts un nom ressort du lot. Celui de George Benson, dont il ne faudrait pas oublier quavant daligner les tubes smooth jazz FM, il simposa comme lhritier de Wes Montgomery. Gageons quentre Marciac et celui-l aussi, lhistoire ne fait que commencer.
