The golden age of jazz reinvented, blending classical, pop, and Latin jazz.
A familiar yet unprecedented experience.

Jazz has always been a welcoming, open, and inquisitive music, drawing inspiration from both instrumental pieces and songs from other musical traditions.

This tradition abounds with remarkable examples: Jacques Loussier and his reinterpretations of Bach, Thierry Eliez with “3 Around the 4″ as a tribute to the Beatles, Paul Anka with ” Rock Swings”, or Miles Davis reinventing Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time”.

Rose Franck reverses this dynamic by propelling great jazz standards into the parallel universe of their imagination, offering a fresh aesthetic to these timeless songs.

With pop accents, harmonies imbued with 20th century classical music or more ethnic rhythms, Franck Monbaylet creates a sound setting around Rosa Ines’s voice, sensual, strong and rich in her Latin American culture, giving these magnificent timeless songs a new aesthetic, in their debut album in duo

The second album, even more audacious, fully embraces this approach, offering original interpretations in Spanish, performed by an exceptional quartet featuring the marvelous William Brunard on double bass and Frédéric Sicart on drums.

Of Colombian origin, Rosa Ines Villegas grew up to the sound of salsa and bolero. After several groups dedicated to Latin music, her path led her to meet musicians with whom she embarked on the jazz adventure. She then sang with Bibi Louison, Thérèse Henri, Julie Saury, Jean Pierre Ismael, Felipe Cabrera, Lukmil Perez and Rafael Paseiro. Her career as a singer, author and composer infuses her jazz repertoire with the warmth of her origins and her tours as far as Mexico, with Spanish adaptations.

Rose Franck has produced two albums and performs as a duo & quartet.
