Hugues Mayot - L'arbre Rouge (2019)

For this musical project, saxophonist Hugues Mayot has designed an instrumentation close to chamber music, recalling the intimacy of a classical quintet. Worn by five musicians with the formidable instrumental technique, counting among the most talented of the new jazz scene, the Red Tree dares the experiments all over the place.
Through a minimalist and repetitive writing, a research on timbres and textures, the musician gives a singular rhythmic dimension to this miniature orchestra, and creates a playing field conducive to improvisation, which he shares with jubilation with his four companions of adventure.
