Overview
A new breath for Porgy & Bess! Philippe Chagne on sax and Rémi Toulon on piano revisit this classic with humor and finesse. A vibrant album to savor without moderation!
An essential work in twentieth-century music, George and Ira Gershwin's opera has continually inspired jazz musicians.
On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the creation of Porgy & Bess, saxophonist Philippe Chagne and pianist Rémi Toulon offer an intimate and personal re-reading.
Built on a long-standing complicity and over 1500 concerts in France and Europe, this project surprises by the richness of its sonic textures and appropriates the timeless melodies of Porgy & Bess with virtuosity, humor and particularly communicative joy to play! ) We savor it!
