Gilles Peterson presents Impressions – two exceptional evenings of music celebrating jazz at the Fondation Maeght, on August 5 and 6, 2026.
In the late 60s and early 70s it hosted – alongside the leading lights of the European avant garde – some of the most forward thinking American Black Music without hesitation and with the full understanding of its importance as high art. Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, Milford Graves and Albert Ayler stood shoulder to shoulder with Merce Cunningham, La Monte Young and Terry Riley nestled alongside works by Calder, Giacometti and Miró.
This year – our third for Impressions – we are fully embracing that founding spirit of the Fondation and focusing entirely on newer artists which you can read about below.
Please join us in discovering these wonderful musicians as we listen and dance amongst the sculptures and beneath the stars.”
