"This unique repertoire is the result of a thorough work of transcriptions and rearrangements from recordings and scores, including some unpublished material found in New York. Under the direction of Pierre-Antoine Badaroux, the fourteen musicians from the French jazz new avantgarde, pursue their work of highlighting forgotten figures of the jazz history, with a generous and communicative enthusiasm.
From the Harlem Public Library basement to the wooden floor of the Lavoir Moderne Parisien theater in Paris, it is a special invitation to enjoy together here and now an ageless music."
