Their objective was to create an annual jazz festival in Serres, village with 1200 inhabitants, situated between Gap and Sisteron, in the beautiful site of the Open Theatre of La Germanette.

 

2003

The first festival takes place at La Gemanette. The programme included well known musicians with long experience, André Jaume, Alain Soler, as well as young artists such as Tigran Hamasyan and Antoine Simoni, Three concerts over 2 evenings attract more than 500 people.  In addition, an exhibition on the great names of Jazz at the Tourist Office and an art exhibition of drawings by the jazz critic and drawer Jean Buzelin met a large audience, as well as the street concerts by a jazz band from the "Atelier Jazz Impro" of Gap at the lively Saturday morning market in Serres.

2004

Encouraged by their first success, and supported by the Municipalité de Serres and the Communauté de Communes du Serrois, Blue Buëch organized a second Festival. The saxophonist Eric Barret joined Tigran Hamasyan trio, Nuages de Swing invited the manouche guitarist Sébastien Félix for a tribute to Django Reinhardt, and last but not least, Sergent Pépère jazz band concluded the Festival on a high note. The 3-day concert finished with an all night jam session in the medieval cellar of l'Entre Pots. In addition, an exhibition about the History of jazz, together with sculptures about the greatest hits of jazz and the Buëch was presented at the Tourist Office. Street concerts were held in Serres and neighbouring Laragne, by the saxophonist François Giuliana.
