"The sound of this formation allowed me to fetch themes from different musical worlds, from jazz to brass bands or street performers. I called this project INDIA as a reference to the title of the album I first recorded as a band leader: CHINE.
This music is composed of melodies, dances, and improvisations supported by tenacious beats and rhythms. This brings out memories of a theatre on the docks of Calcutta, of a long train in the countryside, of a night in the Kalighat Kali Temple, of a brass band during Hindu Festival Ganesh Chaturthi... I wish that people hear the sounds of a faraway place that feels more like a dream than reality.
I have been playing with this band which includes Sarah Murcia, Benjamin Moussay, and Christophe Lavergne since 2015. After “Loin dans les terres” and “Characters on a Wall” (ECM Records), this is our third opus, for which we were joined by trumpeter Olivier Laisney."
