Jazz with a New Core: Archibald Ligonnière brings A New Home to Mainz

On November 21, 2026, the M8-Liveclub in Mainz opens its doors for an evening that showcases jazz as a vibrant present. Archibald Ligonnière presents the A New Home Quintet, marking his debut as a bandleader - a project that has emerged from personal reorientation, compositional maturity, and international band chemistry.

An Album as a Departure

A New Home tells the story of a musician who, after years as a sought-after session and live drummer, finally places his own voice at the center. The official program text describes the album as a Rebirth: intimate, generous, and a musical home after a changed life and work situation. This is precisely what gives the evening its tension - a blend of experience, longing, and new beginnings.

Big Names, Fine Colors

On stage, Stéphane Guillaume, Tom Ibarra, Jean-Yves Jung, and Gildas Boclé are musicians known for their stylistic precision and colorful orchestration. Saxophone, guitar, piano, and double bass meet Ligonnière's distinctive drumming: this promises not routine, but a concert experience with dynamic synchronization, ample room for improvisation, and a clear dramatic line.

Live Atmosphere in the M8-Liveclub

The M8-Liveclub on Mitternachtsgasse 8 is one of the key venues for intimate jazz nights in Mainz. The venue is located in the House of Youth, well connected between Flachsmarkt and Peter-Altmeier-Allee. Those attending a concert here will feel the closeness between stage and audience particularly intensely - ideal for finely nuanced acoustics, direct audience atmosphere, and a sound that carries even soft nuances.

Voices of the Fans

On Archibald Ligonnière's official channels, the anticipation for A New Home is clearly expressed without detours. The resonance surrounding the project suggests a concert that will capture jazz lovers with musical depth and a personal touch.

Conclusion: An Evening for Jazz Fans with a Sense for Special Live Moments

Archibald Ligonnière brings a debut to the stage in Mainz that resonates with a sense of departure rather than reflection. Those seeking modern jazz storytelling, strong solos, and the intimacy of a club concert should mark this date and be there live.
