ROSE FRANCK

WONDER JAZZ

The golden age of jazz reimagined,
blending classical, pop, and Spanish interpretations.
A unique take on timeless songs.

Rose Franck reimagines the great jazz standards, transporting them into a parallel universe where pop influences, early 20th-century-inspired harmonies, Latin-jazz colours and Spanish interpretations come together.

Jazz has always been an open-minded, welcoming art form, embracing curiosity and influences from around the world.

Rose Franck carries on this tradition by turning it on its head: rather than bringing pop or classical songs into the jazz idiom, the project reinterprets iconic jazz standards through an entirely new sonic landscape.

Under the musical direction of Franck Monbaylet, the arrangements create a subtle and sophisticated soundscape that brings out the distinctive voice and inventive interpretations of Rosa Ines Villegas, shaped by her Latin American heritage.

A musical journey that feels both familiar and entirely new, delighting jazz lovers and captivating newcomers alike.

Press

“A journey through the musical and poetic imagination of the duo, brought to life by a powerful, sensual voice, rich in South American culture.”
Midi Libre
28 mars 2022
“Diva Rosa Ines Villegas took 500 spectators on a musical journey. The singer performed Spanish-language renditions of reimagined timeless standards from the 1930s and 1940s. The atmosphere evoked the cabarets of Havana in the days of Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra.”
