An emblematic figure of this edition, drummer Hamid Drake presents a new facet of American jazz with his Indigo Trio. Coming from the vibrant and innovative Chicago jazz scene, the trio has been rarely heard in Europe.Nicole Mitchell, the composer of the ensemble, who also plays flute, is one of Michigan's powerful voices. Her supple and warm tone is particularly at home within the trio. Harrison Bankhead builds subtle rhythmical and harmonic structures, with the inventive support of Hamid Drake on drums.For this concert, Michel Edelin joins the trio. The flute is a rare instrument in jazz and Edelin, following in the footsteps of Eric Dolphy, invents new rules and transcends the limits of the instrument.
