Michel Godard - Monteverdi : A trace of grace (2011)

Jazz Trio (Michel Godard, Steve Swallow, Gavino Murgia) meets Early Baroque Trio (Guillemette Laurens, Fanny Paccoud, Bruno Helstroffer) and lets two musical dimensions grow, enlaced together in labyrinthine arabesques, playing songs of Claudio Monteverdi, Michel Godard and Steve Swallow in a natural implicitness and lightheartedness.

Michel Godard, Serpent & Bass
Guillemette Laurens, Voice
Gavino Murgia, Saxophone & Voice
Fanny Paccoud, Violin
Bruno Helstroffer, Theorbo
Steve Swallow, Bass
