How can we pay tribute with an orchestra without falling into an exercise of style? How can we perform the same, oft-played songs and give them that ideal breath of freshness? Since clichés tend to rub me the wrong way – although I deeply love the jazz standards - I have always enjoyed composing within the “usual” frameworks and adding “surprises”, particularly working with form - creating an introduction-within-an-introduction, slipping in interludes, inventing new canvases for improvisation, even linking a repertoire piece with one of my own compositions. The writing stays here in the service of improvisation. And my double bass is happy amongst them all. Pages turn. Open windows. Written or blank. Like them, on the border between chance and necessity, we vibrate. Therefore we are.
