Eternal Love, his latest project, has its roots in African spirituality. As in a prayer or an evocation, the group pays homage to the music of Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, John Coltrane and Dewey Redman. Immersed in this mystical bath, jazz returns to embody that spirit of total music that often seems lost, with the collective work of an ensemble of exceptional level.
