SORTIE DE DISQUE ECM « UNFOLDING »Depuis la création de sa saison Jazz, l’ECUJE a le privilège et le bonheur de participer au Festival Jazz sur Seine, un événement phare de la scène musicale parisienne, qui marque la rentrée musicale dans la capitale.L’édition 2024 du Festival Jazz sur Seine ne dérogera pas à la règle en accueillant le concert d’ouverture de la saison #4 de Jazz à l’ECUJE, lundi 12 octobre 2024, avec deux figures emblématiques du jazz contemporain : le clarinettiste Louis Sclavis et le pianiste Benjamin Moussay. Ces deux artistes, reconnus pour leur créativité et leur audace musicale, ont choisi Jazz à l’ECUJE pour la sortie de leur album « Unfold » chez ECM.Ce concert d’ouverture s’annonce déjà comme un moment fort du Festival Jazz sur Seine 2024 et de notre saison Jazz à l’ECUJE !Déjà partenaires sur de nombreux disques publiés par Louis Sclavis sur le célébrissime label ECM dirigé par Manfred Eicher – et notamment le dernier en date, Characters On A Wall – le clarinettiste et le pianiste Benjamin Moussay ont ces dernières années considérablement développé leur complicité et leurs sens de l’interplay, en multipliant avec succès les concerts partout en Europe.Dans ce nouveau disque au programme uniquement constitué de thèmes originaux (composés aux 2/3 par le pianiste, le dernier tiers revenant au clarinettiste) – le duo de musiciens français imagine aux confins de la musique de chambre un monde fait de conversations intimistes, juxtaposant des séquences contemplatives au lyrisme intense avec des moments beaucoup plus fantaisistes mettant en valeur la complicité joyeuse au cœur de leur collaboration.Toujours très concentré, le duo fait surgir de thèmes délicats des improvisations intenses et chaleureuses qui jamais ne débordent mais au contraire explorent patiemment les potentialités de la matière écrite, en dialogues fluides d’une créativité rare.
