People think you’re blasé, through with surprise. And then, hitting you in the face, after eight hundred and forty weekly “Jazz Clubs”, comes this funny trio – one piano, two saxophones – that plays strong and originals works, elaborated inside and crunchy at the ear, and that gives you the will to go back to childhood and feel the urge to glutton some.
For this music seems to have the pure desire to say deep things without the drama, thorough and true, and probably as simple as life, love, peace, fresh water, blue sky, and the fear to lose them all.

GRAND PRIX DU DISQUE CHARLES CROS 2002
Kind of like the right concert, at the right moment, at the right place.
Jonathan Duclos-Arkilovitch Jazzman****, march 02
Innovating, delicate, this jazz of intelligences deserves more than just your attention: your support.

Originals compositions (…) are full of sweetness, maturity and loads of emotion.
