Saxophonist Grégory Sallet and his Sur Écoute Quartet are touring Japan in October 2026 with their album Otsukaresama, joined by Japanese flutist Yuriko Kimura.
Ten dates from October 15: Kani, Ōmihachiman, Okayama, the Tokushima Jazz Street Festival, Ōita, Saga, Fukuoka, Isesaki, Yamagata and Kurihara. Just before leaving, the band played Les Abattoirs in Bourgoin-Jallieu on October 9.
For the tour, Monart produced a content campaign around the album: five Instagram reels, including a note-for-note cut from Grégory’s studio to the stage of Le Crescent, two 25-second ads subtitled in English and Japanese, a tour poster and an Instagram campaign in France and Japan. By October 16, the ads had brought 931 visits to Grégory’s Instagram profile.
