Un ensemble de dix sept musiciens et musiciennes \u00e9minemment mall\u00e9able et o\u00f9 l\u2019on peut d\u00e9tecter entre autres l\u2019influence de Maria Schneider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">C\u2019est essentiellement cet ensemble qui est ici mis en valeur, les solos se limitant \u00e0 un ou deux par titre.
