Description
'On Shoulders We Stand' showcases these 3 musicians on a journey of pure challenge, joyously undertaking a risk-taking endeavour, something of a rare phenomenon in our world's thirst for conformity.
David Linx the incomparable male jazz vocalist, has founded his singularity in both the African-American culture (let's not forget his friendship and his artistic collaboration, "A Lover's Question", with James Baldwin, a.o.), and the European musical landscape (Diederik Wissels, Paolo Fresu,…). Guillaume de Chassy, cross-border pianist between jazz and classical music (he has collaborated with Brigitte Engerer as well as with Paul Motian and Natalie Dessay), excels in the art of blending different musical languages.
The 8 composers chosen for this particular repertoire have given us piano pieces whose melodic evidence calls for the voice.
