Noé Codjia & Neil Saidi Quintet

Trumpeter Noé Codjia and saxophonist Neil Saidi have worked together since meeting at a jam session a decade or so ago. In 2014 they traveled to New York to study at the prestigious New School. When they returned to Paris in 2016, they started a collective of young musicians they called The Zoot Collective. The objective of this initiative is to bring together the maximum number of musicians of their generation with creative and original projects. A good example is the quintet they lead, completed by the best new talents on the Parisian scene. Codjia, Saidi and their cronies pay homage to the styles of jazz they hold dearest—swing, bop, and hard bop—in combination with their own music.
