Erik Truffaz live in Antibes

Experience Erik Truffaz live on July 18th

Erik Truffaz will perform at Square Franck Jay Gould in Antibes, France on July 18, 2026. Truffaz is a French trumpeter and composer known for blending jazz with electronic music, particularly drum and bass, and influences from hip-hop and world music. His style often incorporates atmospheric soundscapes and improvisation, creating a distinctive “jazznroll” aesthetic. He gained prominence in the late 1990s with albums like *The Mask* and *Floating Points*, establishing himself as a key figure in the nu-jazz movement.

Square Franck Jay Gould is an open-air performance space located within the Fort Carré national monument in Antibes. The fort itself dates back to the 16th century, undergoing significant modifications throughout its history under figures like Vauban. Franck Jay Gould, an American expatriate and art collector, purchased the fort in the early 20th century and transformed it into a lavish residence and cultural hub, hosting prominent artists and intellectuals of the time. Following his death, the fort eventually became state property and was restored as a historical site.
