Born from Arnaud Cabay's passion for the Great American Songbook, this trio champions the love of standards as an endless source of inspiration. Contrary to the notion that jazz must constantly seek novelty to exist, the three musicians fully embrace the pleasure of revisiting the foundational works of 20th-century American music. Their approach is neither nostalgia nor mimicry, but a vibrant expression: each interpretation becomes a rediscovery, an intimate sharing of a common vocabulary and a deeply cherished heritage.

The trio plays this music with respect, joy, and freedom, allowing space for mutual listening, collective breathing, and shared emotion. These standards are not relics here, but living, imbued works that continue to tell an essential story, provided they are played with heart.
