Nicolas Folmer "Hommage à Miles Davis" & Guests at Sunset-Sunside

Miles Davis fait partie de l’ADN musical de Nicolas Folmer, l’un des rares musiciens qui a été produit par Teo Macero, producteur légendaire et historique du « Prince des Ténèbres » et qui a également partagé la scène avec quelques-uns de ses partenaires tels que John Lewis, René Urtreger, mais aussi Dave Liebman et Rick Margitza... Ainsi, quoi de plus essentiel pour ce trompettiste, arrangeur et compositeur hors norme au sommet de son art que de se lancer un nouveau défi : s'attaquer à cet Everest musical qu’est l’univers de Miles Davis et d'en proposer son authentique réappropriation.
