Jean-Luc Thomas Quartet - Sillons (2026) [Hi-Res]

Flutist Jean-Luc Thomas and his quartet are releasing "Sillons," an album that seamlessly integrates traditional Breton music with modern jazz and global cultural elements. The title emphasizes the continuity of experience and cultural memory. The record is characterized by a deep acoustic sound, modal improvisations, and rhythmic diversity gathered by the bandleader during his international expeditions. The work serves as an exploration of soundscapes where folkloric roots provide the foundation for free artistic expression.
