The round table was really interesting.

And this morning there was a masterclass with all the musicians : I could play piano with these giants... I was very impressed and a bit ill at ease...

The French sax player Jean-Louis Chautemps was in the audience...

Nathan told anecdotes with Monk, the Nicholas Brothers, etc very interesting !

Tonight, concert at the Unesco in Paris.
