In this edition of arts24, Marjorie Hache is in the town of Vienne in southeastern France, where the 45th edition of "Jazz à Vienne" is taking place. Headliners include the likes of Jon Batiste, Marcus Miller, Buena Vista Social Club and Jeff Mills. The festival is also shining a spotlight on late jazz legend Miles Davis, 100 years since his birth. The American musician played at the festival four times during his life and left a lasting mark on the town. Marjorie also shares one of her festival highlights: Cameroonian band Akutuk's concert in a swimming pool in an ode to their ancestral links with water. She also chats with New Orleans trumpeter James Andrews, who is transforming the streets of Vienne into a giant parade.
