Tuba player and serpentine player Michel Godard likes to cross paths with jazz and classical music, and his explorations have led him to eclectic and rich musical associations. His Franco-German trio with pianist Florian Weber and drummer Anne Paceo may come as a surprise, given how unusual it is for a piano and percussion instruments to be led by a tuba, but it is the powerful bass instrument that sets the rhythm and drives the music on a journey into unsuspected worlds of sound.

Jazzdor gives a free pass to singer and bassoonist Sophie Bernado, who has surrounded herself with musicians from very different backgrounds. Marie-Pascale Dubé is a specialist in Inuit throat singing, Taiko Saito is one of Germany's most eclectic vibraphonists, and Joachim Florent is a double bass player constantly on the lookout for new sound territories, in particular with drummer Francesco Pastacaldi.  Sophie Bernado has conceived her creation as a palette of colours, as many textural possibilities offered by the instrumentarium. The protean quartet takes us on a journey between contemporary reveries and world music, between improvisation and classical influences, in the impalpable clouds of the imagination.
