Jazz, blues, swing, and boogie-woogie festival in Tinténiac (Jazz'N Boogie)
About Boogie-Swing 137
Boogie-Swing 137, which became Jazz'N Boogie in 2019, is a jazz, blues, boogie-woogie, and swing festival created in 2016 in Tinténiac, Ille-et-Vilaine. Initiated by musician Gilles Blandin and supported by the Jazz'N Boogie association, the event annually offers jazz and boogie-woogie concerts, swing dances, open stages, and discoveries of French and international artists. Since 2023, the festival has been held at Espace Ille et Donac in Tinténiac, between Rennes and Saint-Malo.
Boogie-Swing 137 / Jazz'N Boogie in Tinténiac
Created in 2016 under the name Boogie-Swing 137 by the eponymous association, the festival became Jazz'N Boogie in 2019. Initiated in Tinténiac and Combourg, in Ille-et-Vilaine, it is now concentrated in Tinténiac at Espace Ille et Donac, a municipal hall located near the Ille-et-Rance canal and the music school.
A project driven by passion
The project was initiated by musician Gilles Blandin, a jazz and piano enthusiast, who has become one of the ambassadors of swing jazz and boogie-woogie in Brittany. As the festival's artistic director, he annually programs renowned headliners of traditional jazz, boogie-woogie, and swing, alongside young regional groups. The association is chaired by Louis Rochefort, honorary mayor of Tinténiac.
From Boogie-Swing 137 to Jazz'N Boogie
In 2019, the Boogie-Swing 137 association became Jazz'N Boogie, continuing and expanding its mission to promote jazz, blues, and swing. The festival continues to offer thematic evenings (New Orleans jazz, gypsy jazz, boogie-woogie piano) as well as free early evening concerts and swing dances with an outdoor dance floor.
A friendly gathering
The festival brings together professional and amateur musicians around a common passion for jazz and swing dance. The 11th edition will be held on June 12 and 13, 2026, at Espace Ille et Donac in Tinténiac, with a program mixing big international names in traditional jazz (Les Haricots Rouges, the oldest French jazz band still active) and gypsy jazz virtuosos (Raphaël Faÿs Quartet).
