Listening session with Jean-François Braun

To mark the 100th anniversary of Miles Davis’s birth and the 45th edition of the Jazz à Vienne festival, the Musée d’Histoire de Vienne – église Saint-Pierre will host the exhibition “Miles Davis, 100 ans d'influence” from June 25 to July 11, 2026, from 2 pm to 7 pm. A major figure in the festival’s history and an absolute legend of jazz, Miles Davis will be celebrated through an immersive and evocative journey designed to explore his body of work and his era.

The exhibition features a section titled “Miles en musique”. Every day at 2 pm, a guest speaker will invite the audience to immerse themselves in the artist’s musical world.

On July 10, Jean-François Braun takes a look back at the second-generation artists and bands who collaborated with Miles, through the standout vinyl records in his collection!

A vinyl collector and music lover, music is inseparable from the personal and professional life of Jean-François Braun, who is considered a “activist-builder” in the contemporary music scene. He helped launch several music venues before going on to manage them: the CLEF (Saint Germain), the Brise Glace (Annecy), and the Source in Fontaine (Isère). He concluded his career as director of SMAC 07 (Scène de Musiques Actuelles de Territoires d’Ardèche) in the spring of 2024. Working within national, regional, and cross-border music networks has been a constant throughout his career. He regularly speaks at conferences and training programs and is interested in social transmission.
