Festival du Rossignolet – No sax no clar

At a time when we think we know it all, NoSax NoClar reminds us that travel remains a mystery to be cherished. Julien Stella and Bastien Weeger deepen their knowledge of others, through Julien Stella?s boundless musical curiosity (Ireland, the Balkans, etc.); and of themselves, through the elevation to the dream they call with their breath. In this atypical formation, they have no choice but to reinvent themselves relentlessly, deploying the energy needed to keep breathing while exploring the possibilities of rhythms, harmonies and timbres… “Bewitching from start to finish, the duo is united by the idea of travel, with a Berber-influenced piece, a reworking of a Bulgarian song transposed for clarinets, and evocations of klezmer” – Alice Leclerq, Citizen Jazz
