Description
This album by saxophonist Louis Sclavis is the 11th release in Intuition's European Jazz Legends series. The concert opened the WDR 3 Jazzfest at the Theater Gütersloh on February 2, 2017, which also happened to be Louis Sclavis' 64th birthday.
As a present to himself and to his audience, Sclavis presented a new quartet that evening, with Sylvain Rifflet, who more than stepped up to the plate as the second reed-voice on saxophone, the excellent Christophe Lavergne on drums and Sarah Murcia on bass.
Sclavis adores this eclectic group and explains that especially Sarah Murcia, best known in France for accompanying chansonnier George Moustaki or writing the score to a successful movie about Serge Gainsbourg, brings a different flair and freshness to the music. "I like drummers and bass players, but they just did not appear on any of my last albums", he says. "So I was very happy to be playing with a real jazz rhythm section again in Gütersloh."
