Marciac Sweet is the “first jazz serial”, which brings together all the major names of music in this century. It is a series of prestigious musical portraits which each relates the music of our time. Its subjects: Jelly Roll Morton as seen by Wynton Marsalis, Duke Ellington by David Murray, Charlie Parker by Ray Baretto, John Coltrane by Elvin Jones, the pioneers of the blues by Buddy Guy, Afro-Cuban music by Oscar D’Leon, Stéphane Grappelli by Didier Lockwood, Miles Davis by Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, to cite just a few of the musicians at Marciac, not to mention Charlie Hayden, Clark Terry, Brad Mehldau, etc. Finally, Marciac Sweet, thanks to the personal and professional qualities of the accounts of some hundred musicians, constitutes the first genuine survey of that musical form we call jazz and which, during 10 days and 10 nights, thrilled the festival public in this town in the Gers region.
