Reconnu par ses pairs, aussi bien en Europe qu’aux États-Unis, comme l’un des musiciens les plus brillants et influents de sa génération, le saxophoniste américain d’origine philippine Jon Irabagon mène depuis le tournant des années 2000 une carrière aussi essentielle que confidentielle. Son quartet réunit, autour de son saxophone ténor, trois des personnalités les plus décisives de la scène jazz avant-gardiste new-yorkaise, parmi lesquelles l’époustouflant pianiste Matt Mitchell. Passant du néo-hard bop moderniste au post-free coltranien avec une virtuosité formelle constamment surprenante, son univers est à la fois expérimental et profondément ancré dans le jazz, Jon Irabagon propose là une musique aussi ludique qu’exaltante, ouvrant incontestablement de nouveaux horizons au jazz contemporain.
