GHOST SONGS

RELEASE MAY 28, 2021

 Winner of the Talents Adami Jazz 2019 device, Paul Jarret formed on this occasion the Ghost Songs project with the American drummer Jim Black, the Belgian rhodist Jozef Dumoulin and the French saxophonist Julien Pontvianne. As part of the Adami program, they performed in 2019 and 2020 on the biggest stages of five jazz festivals: Jazz à Vienne, Jazz à La Villette, Bratislava Jazz Days, EFG London Jazz Festival and Jazz Sous Les Apple trees.

“Taking deliberately simple, almost pop or folk melodies, the strong temperaments of these musicians allow for individual expression, but favour collective playing especially, leaving ample room for the sound, silence, improvisation and group interplay. Extensive playing spaces allow a certain freedom guided by communicative melodies that are poignant, almost childlike. The songs naturally create their own climates while appearing only as 'ghosts': moving shapes that create surprise”. EFG London Jazz Festival
