Ensemble Echos
​
This acoustic trio was born from the meeting of its three members while studying at the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP).
Looking for new sound textures combining the breeze of the accordion and the blowing of the trombone, this atypical band revisits the jazz repertoire, from the era of Fats Waller to the more contemporary one of Dave Holland, and brings to life compositions from the members of the ensemble.

Dirty Jazz Corner
​
Co-led with trumpeter Quentin Lourties, this project has an original concept: transcribing and recording a few tunes from a legendary jazz album.
By approaching a repertoire and an esthetic, the goal is to get as close as possible to the original sound while keeping our freedom in improvisation.
4-5 tunes, a single 2-hour session, a Zoom recorder and let's go!
