François Moutin & Kavita Shah Duo to Present New Album "Interplay" with Sheila Jordan at NYC's Winter Jazz Festival

Bassist François Moutin and vocalist Kavita Shah are proud to announce the release of their duo project, INTERPLAY (Dot Time Records), on February 16, 2018. They will present material from the album at New York's Winter Jazz Festival this Friday, January 12th at 6:20pm at Subculture, joined by special guest NEA Jazz Master Sheila Jordan on vocals, who is considered by many to be the pioneer of bass-and-voice duets.

"Interplay" is an improvisational journey across lyric-driven and wordless pieces alike. Together, Moutin and Shah embrace virtuosity, spontaneity, and lyricism through a repertoire of standards and original music adapted to the unique instrumentation of acoustic bass and voice. The album, recorded at Sear Sound Studios in New York and Le studio de Meudon in Paris, features 11 tracks ranging from classics like "La Vie en Rose" to instrumental songs like drummer Dafnis Prieto's "Blah Blah" to original compositions by Shah and Moutin. "Interplay" also includes the participation of two jazz legends (Shah and Moutin's mentors): Jordan, 89, who lends her voice to Lorenz & Hart's "Falling in Love With Love" and Horace Silver's "Peace" (a song she taught Shah), and French pianist Martial Solal, 90, who plays on two of his compositions—the wordless "Coming Yesterday" (which features an unedited, free improvisation by Shah, Moutin and Solal) and the gorgeous ballad "Aigue Marine, " set to lyrics penned by Shah.
