Naïssam Jalal has invited in her trio, the Brazilian pianist Leonardo Montana and the French Armenian double bass player Claude Tchamitchian in search of the Invisible. This music program is at the cross-road of extra-western, traditional mystic musics and modal jazz. The silence has a central place and the rhythm always leads towards trance in a repetitive and hypnotic shape, sometimes the voice comes to help the other instruments to get in touch with the Invisible. The album won the «Victoires du Jazz 2019», the highest jazz award in France and has received critical and public acclaim since the release.
Production: Les couleurs du son. Supported by the DRAC Île-de-France, the Seine-Saint-Denis Department, and La Dynamo de Banlieues Bleues.
