NEW ALBUM & TOUR

Jacques Schwarz-Bart — Resistance

Resistance is the new trio project by Jacques Schwarz-Bart. Paris release dates take place in autumn 2026, with 2027 bookings available.

He has collaborated with Roy Hargrove, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, Meshell Ndegeocello and Danilo Perez. A pioneer of gwoka jazz and voodoo jazz, his work engages with Afro-Caribbean traditions, spirituality and collective memory.

His latest album, “Resistance,” was born out of a need to respond to the challenges of our time. More than a stylistic exercise, the album is a true musical manifesto. For this project, the saxophonist chose a trio line-up without a harmonic instrument, creating space for radical improvisation.

Join him for the album release on October 15, 16 and 17, followed by a tour in 2027!
