On today’s music show on Arts24, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with two talented French musicians. Scott Tixier, a six-time Grammy-winning violinist, composer, and professor, has collaborated with some of the world’s biggest artists, including Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Beyoncé, Hans Zimmer, and Jon Batiste. His new solo album, “Bonfire”, offers a bold, innovative take on jazz improvisation. Célia Kameni, one of France’s most exciting singers, draws inspiration from a wide range of artists, from Nina Simone to Björk. Recently, she won one of France’s most prestigious jazz awards for her intimate and beautiful EP “Meduse” (or Medusa in English).
