Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"It is often said that jazz is about innovation while paying due respect to tradition. Leaves and Snows is the work of three young musicians eager to make their voices heard and to share their music — very “actual” music, because it successfully brings together their diverse musical identities (jazz, contemporary music, rock…) in a free improvisation context. The result: music that addresses the listener, inviting him/her to widen his/her musical perception through countless variations and colors, without ever weakening the coherence of its poetical approach."-Ambiances Magnetiques
