Antonio Barcelona - Cotton Candy Armor

Antonio Barcelona presents Cotton Candy Armor, an ensemble of nine musicians based in Paris. A blend of rhythmic phrasing that is as asymmetrical as it is organic, of repetitive melodies, and of compositions combining dense writing with directed improvisation. The approach of Cotton Candy Armors belongs to this lineage of musicians who care about composition within jazz. During three years of studies at the Paris Conservatoire, Antonio met the musicians of his nonet during sessions and rehearsals. He naturally had the idea of bringing together this team, which shares many ambitions and aesthetic concerns, and with whom music is shared with ease.
