Louis Sclavis's 13th ECM recording finds the French clarinetist drawing inspiration from two sources – the street art of Ernest Pignon-Ernest, and the interpretive originality of a splendid new quartet.
In the Sclavis group, gifted bassist Murcia and expressive drummer Lavergne join pianist and key collaborator Moussay making this the first time Sclavis has explored – in characteristically individual fashion - the classic jazz format of reeds, piano, bass and drums on an ECM disc.
