From 2009 to 2019, we find them in the great ensemble Pee Bee, co-directed by Claudio Pallaro and Gary Brunton (Night Bus). Always driven by the desire to play together, Claudio and Didier continued their collaboration and initiated the project “ONE PAGE”, which reveals two personalities, two different approaches but the same language. They first formed a quartet without harmonic instruments (two saxophones, double bass, drums) which turned into a quintet with vibraphone.
Why “ONE PAGE”? Each of the compositions of the album fits on a single page…or almost. For the artists, it means going to the essential with spontaneity and creativity.

The form of this 32 bar tune in the key of C is inspired by George Gershwin’s « I Got Rhythm ». The « up tempo » feel and the somewhat chaotic nature of the melody came about as Gary brunton watched the antics of the new family kitten Polka (Oriental Shorthair breed).
