Louis Sclavis & Benjamin Moussay – Unfolding

"Unfolding" brings together two outstanding representatives of European jazz in a duo with a particularly refined sound: clarinettist Louis Sclavis and pianist Benjamin Moussay. The focus is on the bass clarinet - an instrument with an unmistakable depth of sound, whose dark timbre has decisively influenced Sclavis for decades and has once again anchored it more firmly in contemporary jazz.

Sclavis and Moussay have been working together for many years, characterized by mutual trust, great attention and a fine musical intuition. Their pieces unfold as intimate chamber music encounters in which lyrical passages, improvisational openness and expressive contrasts remain in constant flux. Every note seems spontaneous and at the same time part of a carefully crafted overall musical picture.

In "Unfolding", the French duo creates a dense soundscape full of depth and poetic expressiveness - nuanced, focused and characterized by elegant restraint. A concert experience of extraordinary acoustic sensitivity.
