VINCENT COURTOIS/SYLVIE COURVOISIER/ELLERY ESKELIN
Vincent Courtois-cello, Sylvie Courvoisier-piano, Ellery Eskelin-tenor saxophone
Creative music without boundaries, three strong soloists that aim for a group alchemy, an original sound as a starting point for inventive and expressive improvising. Cellist Vincent Courtois performed with Rabih Abou-Khalil and Louis Sclavis for many years. Pianist Sylvie Courvoisier leads her own groups and momentarily plays with Herb Robertson and Yusef Lateef. Tenorist Ellery Eskelin, ‘a major player in today’s creative music’ (Down Beat), shines in his own highly praised trio with Andrea Parkins and Jim Black.
