French guitarist Manu Codjia jazzes Hanoi

French guitarist Manu Codjia, a world famous French jazz guitarist, will perform at the Tuoi Tre Theater, 11 Ngo Thi Nham Street in Hanoi at 8 p.m. on December 10.

The artist and his friends, contrabass player Jérôme Regard and drummer Philippe Pipon Garcia will take jazz fans on a passionate journey of sophisticated melodies from his latest album. They will also perform famous songs by the Jamaican musician Bob Marley and “the King of Pop,” Michael Jackson.

Graduated from the Paris Conservatoire under the guidance of Professor Francois Jeanneau, Manu Codjia began his career playing classical guitar but quickly found his passion in jazz.  His first album, ‘Songlines’ (Bee Jazz) was released in 2007 and received enthusiastic praise from both audiences and critics.

He won best guitarist at the 2007 Djangos d’Or Awards, one of the most prestigious honors for jazz in Europe, and the Victoires du Jazz Award for best new instrumentalist of 2008.

Tickets are available at L’Espace Center, 24 Trang Tien St., Hanoi for VND50,000 to VND100,000.
