Louis Sclavis Quartet

Since the 1980s, French clarinetist Louis Sclavis has been making his way to the top of European jazz. He is one of the pioneers who set the new track for European jazz and improvised music by developing his own personal style of academic-free expression. The iconic musician, who turns 70 this year, has long admired the street art of visual artist Ernest Pignon-Ernest.

For the music of the Characters On A Wall quartet, formed in 2017, Sclavis has chosen Pignon-Ernest's wall images from Paris to Ramallah in Palestine.

With this new ensemble, Sclavis returns to the classical jazz quartet line-up: wind instrument, piano, bass and drums. He has invited three unique musicians who have the ability to develop strong interpretations of his compositions.

Louis Sclavis | clarinet  
Benjamin Moussay | piano  
Sarah Murcia | double bass  
Christophe Lavergne | drums
