Carte blanche à Tony Tixier

| Jazz, compositions

Led by pianist and composer Tony Tixier, The Poetry Syndicat offers a sensitive exploration of sound textures, opening up spaces of meditative trance where minimalist melodies blend with spellbinding grooves as if to suspend time. This vibrant material also gives rise to a deeply political song: a musical voice that seeks to dispel shadows, break down the barriers that separate us, and exorcise discrimination through the subtle power of collective poetry.
