| Compositions, jazz moderne, invitée de New YorkLe nom du projet de la saxophoniste Caroline Davis (New York) et du pianiste Rob Clearfield (Chicago/Marseille) vient du titre du film marquant d'Ingmar Bergman, “Persona”. Le récit sous-jacent du film soulève la question de savoir s'il y a deux personnages distincts ou un seul, avec deux personnalités. Ou peut-être ces deux personnages partagent-ils une conscience commune. Le son de “Persona” est le résultat de la fusion des identités musicales uniques de Davis et Clearfield, et leur évolution se concentre sur des morceaux qui ont une forte dimension personnelle, qu'il s'agisse de mélodies déclaratives au lyrisme urgent ou de concepts rythmiques cycliques innovants.
