Arnaud Dolmen, Jowee Omicil, Michel Alibo - Poets of Forest (2025)

Poets of Forest is a musical journey where the soul of jazz blends with the mysteries of nature. Drummer Arnaud Dolmen composes three themes, the starting points for a spellbinding exploration of sound. Alongside double bassist Michel Alibo and multi-instrumentalist Jowee Omicil (flute, alto and soprano saxophones, bass clarinet), these melodies are transformed and brought to life in multiple forms. Each version seems to emerge from another world, where the forest and its secrets whisper between the notes. Special guest harpist Sophye Soliveau sculpts soundscapes as vast as they are mysterious. Together, they weave a timeless musical canvas. Poets of Forest is a space of silence and light, where imagination and reality meet, where nature speaks to the soul. A meditation in sound, both fragile and powerful.
