Michel Doneda (saxophones), John Russell (guitar) and Roger Turner (percussion). Recorded at Studio Honolulu in France (2009). 'What story can a non-figurative music tell if not that of the men that made it ? The memory is adjusted to the shape of the present, the space is open to the need to communicate; the transparency of brass, steel and wood, of the flesh and of the soul, through which passes the evidence of an unfinished ancestral sound. The substance is fleeting and the incessant gestures link, in one instant, the immediate occurrence of a triple desire in a single form. Just as a swarm creates the appearance of immobility, so the precision of John Russell, Michel Doneda and Roger Turner offers us the chance to contemplate an endless expanse of invisible accidents of which we can never doubt the existence. Listening to the absolute truth of this music we are certain of having seen beauty like that of light fragmented through a stained-glass window and which is immediately reconstituted in the mind's eye of those who are watching it intensely. Thus this music shines through the trio and remains enduringly in our hearts
Recorded on 26 January 2009 at Studio Honolulu, Le Havre
