Join us to celebrate the launch of Jacques Schwarz-Bart’s powerful new trio project, Resistance.

French Library / Alliance Française of Boston & Cambridge

The French Library is proud to present an exceptional evening with Jacques Schwarz-Bart, one of the most compelling voices in contemporary jazz, celebrating the release of his new album, Resistance. For this special Boston performance, Jacques Schwarz-Bart will be joined by Terri Lyne Carrington (drums), a multiple Grammy Award–winning artist, and Max Ridley (bass). Together, they will bring to life Resistance, a deeply personal new album that explores themes of freedom, history, memory, and transmission. Conceived as a musical response to the times we live in, the album transforms urgency into artistic expression, and music into an act of resilience. Born in Guadeloupe and based in Boston, Jacques Schwarz-Bart has developed a singular musical language at the crossroads of jazz, Afro-Caribbean traditions, and spirituality. A pioneer of gwoka jazz and voodoo jazz, and a longtime professor at Berklee College of Music, he has collaborated with major artists including Roy Hargrove, D’Angelo, and Erykah Badu. He was recently recognized as Best Saxophone Player in France (2025). This concert offers a rare opportunity to experience his work in an intimate setting, carried by an exceptional trio whose musical interplay reflects a rich blend of jazz, French, and Afro-Caribbean influences. The evening will conclude with a wine reception and light refreshments.
