Thurgot
Théodat was born in Port-of-Prince in 1959. At the age fourteen,
he left haiti for france. There he developed a strong passion
for jazz music. He was fascinated by jazz musicians from Black
America, especially the free jazz players, the incredible power
of their music, the freedom they expressed in their
inprovisation and the determination in their political
engagement. He could hear this music in Paris where he was
living and New York where he spent his summer vacations :“From
my bed I could hear the music in New York. Summer 78 I lived on
Bleeker Street, right across the street to the “Village Gate”
famous jazz club. Then in 1981 I had moved to the rue Dunois in
Paris and once again with a famous jazz club right across the
street “Dunois”. In that club I could see live all the great
jazz musicians who came to paris.”
