Presentation

The TC Quartet brings together the soul of New Orleans and the irresistible swing of classic jazz. At its heart is the powerful, soulful voice of Tricia “Sista Teedy” Boutté, joined by Adrian Cox on clarinet and vocals, Denny Ilett on electric guitar and vocals, and Sébastien Girardot’s wonderfully swinging double bass. Three voices, four distinctive personalities and an unmistakable musical chemistry, moving effortlessly between gospel, blues and swing with warmth, wit and spontaneity.

At the heart of the TC Quartet is the powerful, soulful voice of New Orleans singer Tricia “Sista Teedy” Boutté. Adrian Cox adds clarinet and vocals, Denny Ilett electric guitar and vocals, while Sébastien Girardot's double bass keeps the music swinging. Three voices and four distinct personalities weave together gospel, blues, soul and classic jazz with warmth and spontaneity.

The quartet thrives on contrast: a tender song can give way to earthy blues or spirited swing, with each musician listening and responding. The pleasure comes from their chemistry and the freedom they give the music. For larger stages, the TC Quintet adds Guillaume Nouaux on drums while preserving the same musical identity.
