It might be surprising, but not it would not be perverse to invite the reader to first watch the archive where Otis Redding sings "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" surrounded by about thirty children, which is found at the end of the program In the group, there is a kid who has such an innate sense of dance and showmanship that it makes Otis Redding smile. After this dazzling musical moment, it is possible to pick up the thread of a beautiful program dedicated to Soul Music. Hybridization of gospel and rhythm & blues, brought to the end of the 1950’s by Ray Charles, in phase with the spirit of the struggle for civil rights of Martin Luther King, soul music marks the desire for emancipation of the African-American youth, and the bringing to the foreground of black pride and its culture. This music, which both identifies and challenges, is not exempt from contradictions; it oscillates between incisive incantatory singing with James Brown, and sexualized syrupy ballads, as if it had to comply with the demands of entertainment. To produce its own effect with an insane but not kitsch look becomes a scenic imperative: Rufus Thomas' cape, canary yellow suit, and blood red boots are a perfect illustration of this. One forgives this narcissistic childishness as the expressiveness of the voices always reaches an exceptional level; you just have to listen to Carla Thomas, Gladys Knight or the versions of "Spanish Harlem" by Ben E. King or "For Your Precious Love" by Jerry Butler, who was Curtis Mayfield's sidekick in the group The Impressions to be convinced. Philippe Lesage

Heard with Miles Davis via Bitches Brew and A Tribute To Jack Johnson, on equal footing with Jack DeJohnette, then alongside guitarist John McLaughlin in the very fusion Mahavishnu Orchestra, American drummer Billy Cobham is an inseparable figure of jazz from the 1970s. Captured at the Palais Des Festivals in Cannes in 1989, the drumming virtuoso gives us a clear demonstration of expertise with his very particular touch. Accompanied by a solid band including his own brother Wayne Cobham on keyboards, Rita Marcotulli on piano, and Wolfgang Schmid on bass, the instrumentalist and composer builds various arrangements typical of jazz-rock. Often more groovy than some of his counterparts at the time (he later released a live album with George Duke), Billy Cobham assimilates notably the Latin elements – a cultural legacy transmitted by a family of Panamanian origin. Illustrated by short interviews with the main players and opening shots of the very photogenic Mediterranean coast, this forty-five-minute scenic document sets the record straight with the hectic "Incoming," an extract from the very recent eponymous opus, and with "Tinseltown," a bewitching sequence fueled by the interventions of Nippy Noya on percussion. Vincent Caffiaux
