Après une solide formation en flûte classique et contemporaine, Emilie Calmé a également étudié le bansuri à Bombay avec le flûtiste indien Hariprasaad Chaurasia. Riche de cette expérience qui a fortement influencé son jeu et sa composition, elle choisit de revisiter le répertoire de John Coltrane, accompagnée des musiciens les plus inspirants du moment: Alain Jean-Marie, véritable légende du jazz et de la biguine, Gilles Naturel, compositeur et multi-instrumentiste qui accompagne régulièrement les plus grands (Benny Golson, Lee Konitz...), soutenus par le groove unique du batteur cubain Lukmil Perez.S'approprier une oeuvre et en creuser les finesses est une démarche artistique à part entière qui demande rigueur et passion, valeurs communes à ce Quartet.
