ECHO SESSION - DANCING WITH DON

Echo Sessions is a cutting edge concert series blending Jazz, Contemporary Music and Collective Improvisation into resonant, spontaneous performances. To projects who play those concerts will be offered up to three days Residency at Sounds, right before playing preparing and researching for the performance. The idea is that during those three days of Residency, artists can prepare material for the performance, trying out things, pushing the boundaries considering that the audience of Echo Sessions are mostly interested in these kinds of music. After the concerts there will be a Jam Session. This is a jazz trio that improvises songs in a very original way. Besides being three excellent musicians, Lynn, Manolo and João have been collaborating for about 20 years in various constellations. They have their own unique improvisational language, carved and polished over the years. From a home session, recorded without pretension, came this album, released in 2022 by Robalo. Here we are in the very essence of jazz: music in the moment. ... Tous les trois sont de grands improvisateurs, ils le montrent dans cette Danse avec Don, qui ouvre des paysages sonores magnifiques, joyeux ou mélancoliques, brutaux ou éthérés.(J-C-V for Le Soir) A mysterious sound world that fits like a soundtrack to the film noir genre.(Bernard Lefevre for Jazzhalo) Those who like to get lost in the electro-acoustic mists of the great improv realm have a lot of work to do here.(Georges Tonla Briquet for Jazhalo)
