Gary Brunton, Daniel Beaussier and Célestine de Williencourt form a brand-new trio of multi-instrumentalists with a strong vocal presence, performing original works and inspired contemporary improvisations. The trio express itself via a certain form of Jazz Chamber Music. Through a narrative and lyrical approach to jazz creation, LOOK NORTH, the trio’s first album, takes you on a unique journey that evokes the wide-open spaces of Northern lands. An invitation to discover their captivating melodies and exciting spontaneous improvisations.
Gary Brunton (double bass, tabla) evolves in the company of Daniel Beaussier (oboe, clarinets, saxophones, flutes, English horn) and Célestine De Williencourt (voice, flutes). They form a unique trio, with each instrument playing its role in a fluid, organic musical conversation. The diversity of the musicians’ instruments and influences (Jimmy Giuffre, John Surman & Karen Krog, Jim Hall, Gary Peacock, Carla Bley), creates a rich atmosphere, both intimate and expansive, where improvisation plays a central role.
