Jazz couscous Funky Beat...what the hell is it? It's a secret recipe..
Take a bit of jazz. Not too much conventional nor extravagant.
Add a well-furnished couscous , composed by thin semolina, nice vegetables and well-cooked sausages.
Fiddle the whole with a spicy-funky rythm. Let's call it a funky beat. In short, it grooves seriously...
Shake it energetically, close your eyes and countdown from 30 in Welsh. Ready for consumption.

The post genesis: things are going on right now. some improvised shows without any directory, surfing on riffs, with a glance, a modulation. The Jazz Couscous concept was born.
