More Details

Summary:

At the Banlieues Bleues Festival, virtuoso flautist and fighter Naïssam Jalal gives a preview of Quest of the Invisible - a major work in terms of an intimate spiritual experience - two years before its release. Composed of air and space, the very essence of meditative music, the repertoire borrows from modal jazz and Sufi traditions, instilling the improvisations with a divine breath, something greater than themselves. Here, Jalal is surrounded by Leonardo Montana, Claude Tchamitchian and Hamid Drake, friends and enigmas who, like her, have no fear of silence or trance. From contemplation to ecstasy, in this way, the quartet cultivates the art of elevation by the grace of their particularly moving mutual attentiveness. **Jeanne Lacaille**.
