The Harlem Suite

Description

"A MONUMENT OF EMOTION AND ELEGANCE" (Jazz Magazine) - - A Harlem Suite like a childhood dream... This is the title that Jacques Schwarz-Bart has chosen for his new album. The saxophonist will benefit from a dream lineup with the participation of Terri Lyne Carrington, Grégory Privat, Reggie Washington, Arnaud Dolmen, Stéphanie McKay, and Sullivan Fortner. - - - - - This music is not black magic, more or less folkloric, but rather sacred music with its strictly musical codes, its modes close to those of jazz, and its irregular measures conducive to swing. Nourished by voices and lyrics, this music touches us right in the heart (Télérama) - - - - - Raised in Guadeloupe in gwoka, biguine, and Haitian tradition, saxophonist Jacques Schwarz-Bart is one of the major and most innovative saxophonists (Fip)
