Eastern waves in a sea of blue notes   

An exploration between nostalgia, meditation, emotion, lyricism, places of the soul where jazz, blues, world music combine and merge.

It is nourished by influences from South-West Asian music that Claude Evence Janssens composed the album "Eastern waves in a sea of blue notes", which also finds its roots in modal jazz where the rhythms get carried away and hang in turn, willingly taking the path of odd metrics or floating rubato, dotted with Indian percussion. A flow of oriental waves mixes with swirls of blue notes.

An exploration between nostalgia, mystery, meditation, tenderness, emotion, conflagration, lyricism, places of the soul where jazz, blues, world music and impressionist writing combine and merge to the sound of the bass clarinet, alto clarinet, flugelhorn, piano, oud, guitar, double bass and tablas.
