<p><strong>///////SHALL YOU SPICE YOUR EVENT UP WHILE SUPPORTING A YOUNG BAND?</strong><strong>/////</strong></p>
<p><strong>I. WHAT'S L'EPICERIE DU JAZZ? </strong></p>
<p><em><strong>"2018 Laureates of the Jazz Festival of Vannes, </strong>l'Epicerie du Jazz (literally "Jazz Deli") is a French Jazz Quartet, majorly inspired by French Jazz songs masters such as Claude Nougaro. <strong>Margaux Kayser sings in French, English and Polish </strong>over <strong>Rémy-Benjamin Lesage's groove (drums), and Hugo Rongières's rock influences (bass) carry the classical lyricism of Quentin Lupinko's guitar.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Taking off from Poland, thanks to a summer tour in 2017, the band lands in october on the stage of a famous Parisian Jazz Club, le Baiser Salé. An annual concert residency allows them to compose until the 2018 music contest of the </em><em>Festival de Jazz en Ville, in Vannes, Britanny.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>The prize they win in Vannes</strong> leads them to the recording studio from which they will emerge on March 29th 2019, for the Release Party of their 1st Album: l'Epicerie du Jazz En Visages - or l'Epicerie du Jazz in Portraits".</em></p>
<p><strong>II. OUR STORY:</strong></p>
<p><strong>It all began in Poland. A stage above a beautiful lake, an attentive audience, </strong>a<strong> </strong>garage lost in the countryside, a campfire...</p>
<p>Fine, it all began in a rotten parisian bar. At the time, we had no drummer, no stylist, no limousine, nothing! </p>
<p>Three years later, we're about to release our first album. "My oh my ! What a journey !" we can hear you say. You bet...</p>
<p>Since 2016, we played dramatic songs, American-style...<iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="281" scrolling="no" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FnCNNarpMZAQ%3Ffeature%3Doembed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DnCNNarpMZAQ&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FnCNNarpMZAQ%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="500"></iframe></p>
<p>...and French-Style.<iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="281" scrolling="no" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fs99znUxY8Qc%3Ffeature%3Doembed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Ds99znUxY8Qc&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fs99znUxY8Qc%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="500"></iframe></p>
<p>We were broadcasted on<a href="http://youtu.be/dY2aY0JELgk" target="_blank"> the polish radio</a>...and had an article in a French regional newspaper,<a href="https://www.ouest-france.fr/bretagne/vannes-56000/jazz-en-ville-concert-l-epicerie-du-jazz-la-maison-d-arret-de-vannes-5899237" target="_blank"> Ouest France</a>.</p>
<p>We performed on a tiny stage at the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba1ly2ZlnZi/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet" target="_blank">Baiser Salé...</a>and we were just fine on that of the Festival de Vannes:</p>

<p><strong>III. OUR 1st ALBUM:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ladies & Gentlemen, we are approaching our final stop, after this 2 year journey departing in Poland...landing at the</strong><strong> Zèbre de Belleville, for our Release Party on Friday 29th of March 2019. </strong></p>
<p>However, for the journey to end safely, we need you, dear co-pilots.</p>
<p><strong>Your mission? Pre-order, via this platform, your CD or Vinyl, a signed poster, a private gig at your house or a private lesson from one of us...</strong>to help us fund the expedition till the last stop!</p>
<p><strong>You helped us believe in ourselves, and be able to create and move forward, these last three years. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Will you help us release our 1st album and show the world what on earth this Jazz Deli is about?</strong></p>
<p><strong>RECIPE FOR AN ALBUM:</strong></p>
<p><strong>A cup of Music = 7600€</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Recording and mixing studio</strong> = 6500€</li>
<li><strong>Mastering</strong> = 1100€</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>An ounce of CD & Vinyls = 3150€</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>CD & Vinyls Pressing = 2300€</li>
<li>Artwork = 650€</li>
<li>Taxes = 200€</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>...and a teaspoon of Communication! = 3250€</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Press Relations = 1000€</li>
<li>Design & Print = 250€</li>
<li>Crowdfunding video = 400€</li>
<li>And a very cool Release Party in Paris…= 1600€</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>LET'S CALCULATE:</strong></p>
<p><strong>- What we need = 14 000€</strong></p>
<p><strong>- What we have = a 1500€ prize from the music contest +</strong> the bottom of our pockets</p>
<p><strong>- What we need to reach for the campaign: 8000€ = almost 60% of total budget</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>"BUT WHY IS THE GOAL SMALLER THAN THE ACTUAL TOTAL BUDGET?"</strong></em></p>
<p><strong><em>Because, if we don't reach the goal before the campaign ends, we lose everything and every contributor is refunded...:( that's the dangerous game of crowdfunding!</em></strong></p>
<p>However, if ever, thanks to you, we reach MORE than 8000€, we would then be able to refund all of our costs and reinvest in other projects such as...I don't know...a videoclip? An international tour? A show? We have ideas.</p>
<p><strong>Also, let us specify that all funds will be collected by the Epicerie du Jazz association, and no one else, and for no other purpose than our album !</strong></p>
<p><strong>Look as us - how can you not trust us?</strong></p>
