For the beginning of this year, 2012, the LEBOCAL Collective will be in residence from the 12th of February till the 17th of February at the Boëge Concert Hall to work on a new repertoire and to record a new album (planned release September 2012 under the MUSEA label; distribution MUSEA RECORDS).
On another front, an educational project will be undertaken with the EMVV in Boëge comprising jazz workshops with the students and will take the form of musical creations and rehearsals of works arranged by Thierry Girault. The fruits of their labour will be presented during the opening part of a concert evening given by the LEBOCAL Collective on Saturday 18th February in the Concert Hall in Boëge.

After having studies composition with Mr. Lusignan at the Grenoble Music Conservatory for four years, pianist Thierry Girault went on to study film scoring in Los Angeles. Together with trombonist Stephane Monnet, he decided to create LeBocal. This Collective is a true arena for creativity where personalities, atypical in the field of contemporary jazz are to be found, such as saxophonist Guillaume Perret (Electric Epic), guitarist Cyril Moulas (Imperial Tiger Orchestra) as well as singer Ernie Odoom...
Most of the musicians in the Collective have been playing together since the beginning, thereby allowing, thanks to a number of discographic projects (Harmonia Mundi, Bee Jazz), for the creation of a particularly original and accomplished product. Their style is not easy to classify since it is a mix of rock energies and harmonies more representative of the jazz world; electric sounds mixed with horns; quasi-free improvisation mixed with more complex writing.
After more than four years in existence, this group has received many accolades and is now touring more and more abroad: Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Africa... and sometimes even in France!
