Paul Jarret feat. Hannah Tolf, Éléonore Billy & Étienne Renard - Emma (2020) [Hi-Res]

The Franco-Swedish guitarist Paul Jarret’s project EMMA is inspired by the wave of Swedish immigration to the United States who happened during the second half of the 19th century. A theme that resonates with many of our contemporary issues.

With his quartet, he creates a chamber-jazz that blurs the lines between improvised, minimalistic and repetitive musics, traditional Swedish music and liturgical musics, it’s also inspired by songs evoking exiles and Scandinavian melodies.
