“Global Warning,” a warning never taken seriously. Michel Fernandez, saxophonist and composer, with his musicians and guests, has decided to seize it to play all his references, all the memories of Jazz and elsewhere to make the need to become wild again, to reconnect with the earth, the environment.
Echoes from forgotten times, trances to rediscover the taste of the sublime, of dance, the groove to make bodies and minds move. Civilization needs to go beyond itself to continue top exist. The embers of Free Jazz, Blues, Caribbean and Brazilian cultures are reborn, fanned by a new breath, a vital breath, that of our need to share musical territories so that they become common. A vital, living, joyful and blue music. – Nicolas Béniès, Le Souffle bleu
