Franck Nicolas is a disciple of Miles Davis and Kafé Edouard Ignol (master of the modern Gwo ka Guadeloupean) of an insatiable spirit of innovation, he makes avant-garde unusual artistic proposals or blossoms jazz harmonies and traditional rhythms from Guadeloupe.

Jazz language and dialectic of ka merge perfectly, and thus give birth to Jazz ka.

The work of Lockel and Kafé, on the modern Gwo Ka in the 70s, inspired Franck and allowed him to create his jazz ka in 2002, in New York. He manages to find his precious alchemy by bringing together the great Guadeloupian jazz musicians that are: Alain Jean-Marie, Jacques Schwarzbart, Magik Malik and the avant-garde drummers: Joby Julienne and Sonny Troupé, without forgetting the original percussionist Martiniquais Louis Allèbe Montjoly de Montaigne and American counterpart Lonnie Plaxico.

So that the “sound palette” of jazz ka is enriched, Franck surrounds the young talents Guadeloupeans Sylvain Joseph to the sax, Arnaud Dolmen to the Ka, musicians Martiniquais who bring another artistic sensibility: Mario Canonge, Michel Alibo, Grégory Privat and the Cuban Irving Acao at the tenor sax who sets the tone for Latin Jazz.
Creator of new concepts, Franck explores new ideas by immersing himself completely in the culture of the Kalinas (Caribbean) and his ancestors slaves. To perfect his art, he enriches his music with the prodigious and profound sounds of sea conches. In parallel with his career as a stage musician, Franck develops a revolutionary pedagogy in learning music and jazz ka.
The extreme musical sensitivity of Franck Nicolas leads him to create innovative sounds and melodies that seem to have their source in prehistory and foreshadow the future of man to the stars

Candlelit Jazz, this promises to be an evening of superb music!
