Much of the audience at Peter Brötzmann’s three-day anniversary concert celebrating his 80th birthday in August 2021 was skeptical when the then 28-year-old Camille Émaille, completely unknown to almost everyone, sat down behind her percussion for a solo performance. At first, especially the rather older, male free jazz audience continued to entertain themselves happily.

Much of the audience at Peter Brötzmann’s three-day anniversary concert celebrating his 80th birthday in August 2021 was skeptical when the then 28-year-old Camille Émaille, completely unknown to almost everyone, sat down behind her percussion for a solo performance. At first, especially the rather older, male free jazz audience continued to entertain themselves happily. But after a minute, not a sound was heard – everyone stared and listened intently to the cascades of sound Émaille was creating.
But did it work in a band context? The next day she simply blew the audience away in a quartet with Hans-Peter Hiby (sax), Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello) and Marino Pliakas (bass). The quartet’s motto: fast forward. The three players hardly allowed themselves any breaks, driving each other to flights of fancy without overloading the overall sound. Bass and cello were in constant, increasing dialogue. Hiby’s saxophone playing, sometimes lyrical on the alto, then stormy again on the tenor, blended in seamlessly.
At the LOFT, she can now be experienced with three quarters of this spectacular band.
