Suite \u00e0 la rencontre aux \u00c9tats-Unis lors de ses \u00e9tudes (entre 1994 et 1998 \u00e0 l’universit\u00e9 de Duke, Caroline du Nord) \u00a0avec son mentor devenu rapidement un grand ami, le saxophoniste Paul Jeffreys (qui accompagna 10 ans le guitariste et chanteur B.B. King, ainsi que les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es active du pianiste Thelonious Monk), il se passionne d\u00e8s ses d\u00e9buts notamment \u00a0des musiques traditionelles nord et latino am\u00e9ricaines, rejoignant \u00e9galement les traditions carrib\u00e9ennes qui leur sont intimement li\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

C’est aujourd’hui dans le jazz et blues traditionnels (en particulier de la Nouvelle Orl\u00e9ans et Mississippi et du sud des \u00c9tats-Unis) qu’il se produit sur sc\u00e8ne et dans une vari\u00e9t\u00e9 de lieux et de contextes, visant avant tout la pr\u00e9servation des communaut\u00e9s et des traditions \u00e0 la fois festives et spirituelles. De par son r\u00e9pertoire vari\u00e9, il interpr\u00e8te \u00e0 sa mani\u00e8re tr\u00e8s personnelle et intime des chansons populaires allant de l’\u00e8re pionni\u00e8re am\u00e9ricaine, jusqu’\u00e0 des artistes actuels en passant naturellement par les grands innovateurs, compositeurs et interpr\u00e8tes du Blues et du Jazz du d\u00e9but du 20\u00e8me si\u00e8cle (et en particulier des ann\u00e9es 20, 30 et 40 de cette \u00e8re).<\/p>\n

En solo (guitares\/voix) et dans des collaborations allant du duo jusqu’au septet ou la fanfare, c’est dans cet esprit qu’il fonde le collectif musical \u00ab\u00a0The Dusty Bottoms\u00a0\u00bb au sein duquel, entour\u00e9s par de nombreux et talentueux musiciens passionn\u00e9s par ces styles, il se produit tout au long de sa carri\u00e8re autant dans des salles de concerts, des bars et autres troqu\u00e9s, des festivals et bien s\u00fbr dans la rue, lieu de naissance de ces musiques populaires et point de rassemblement naturel des communaut\u00e9s si centrales \u00e0 ces traditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"alexis-calfan-blues","image":{"url":"https:\/\/theartcafelagny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6348.jpeg","id":697,"extension":"jpeg","width":709,"height":1200,"filesize":141880,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":177,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":17454,"url":"https:\/\/theartcafelagny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6348-177x300.jpeg"},"large":{"width":605,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":109622,"url":"https:\/\/theartcafelagny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6348-605x1024.jpeg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":9758,"url":"https:\/\/theartcafelagny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6348-150x150.jpeg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2025-11-01 20:30:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"01","hour":"20","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2025-11-01 20:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"01","hour":"20","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2025-11-01 19:30:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"01","hour":"19","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2025-11-01 19:30:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"01","hour":"19","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"Europe\/Paris","timezone_abbr":"CET","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":212,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2023-11-30 15:42:26","date_utc":"2023-11-30 14:42:26","modified":"2023-11-30 15:42:26","modified_utc":"2023-11-30 14:42:26","url":"https:\/\/theartcafelagny.com\/?tribe_venue=the-art-cafe","venue":"Th\u00e9 Art Caf\u00e9","slug":"the-art-cafe","address":"1 Place de la Fontaine","city":"Lagny-sur-Marne","country":"France","zip":"77400","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Th\u00e9 Art Caf\u00e9","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"1 Place de la Fontaine","addressLocality":"Lagny-sur-Marne","postalCode":"77400","addressCountry":"France"},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"theartcafelagny.com?id=212","global_id_lineage":["theartcafelagny.com?id=212"]},"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Alexis Calfan – Blues","description":"<p>Alexis Calfan est guitariste et chanteur \u00e9clectique, d\\'origines franco-mexicaines, amoureux des musiques et chansons du monde, autant traditionnelles que modernes.
