Jimmy Sax

Jimmy Sax in concert at the Ancient Theatre of Vaison-la-Romaine on 31 July 2026. A French saxophonist and composer, Jim Rolland unfolds an electronic live set in which the saxophone takes center stage. His hallmark: earworm melodic lines, a blend of melodic house, deep house and instrumental pop, jazz echoes, and extended stretches of improvisation that let each piece evolve in contact with the audience.

Seasoned both in clubs and on large stages, he plays in constant interaction, moving between buildups and releases, layering machines, beats and acoustic breath. The set assumes the feel of an outdoor dancefloor: driving tempos, sax motifs, and breaks that allow the music to breathe before kicking back in. People come as much for the live sensation as for the electronic momentum, with that grain of sax cutting through the mix.

In Vaison-la-Romaine, Jimmy Sax delivers a show designed to be both danced to and watched, balancing upfront energy with instrumental nuances. A direct, no-nonsense format that puts the stage on the same level as the audience and leaves room for the unexpected.
