The French composer, saxophonist and clarinetist has been a pillar of European jazz for over 60 years. He has distinguished himself in many different styles and has been a free electron all his life between jazz, libertarian, free, contemporary and classical music and has composed a lot for the cinema!
On the occasion of his 85th birthday, Michel Portal breaks a recording silence of almost 10 years. MP85 is the audio concretization of his quintet formed during a concert in Le Mans in 2018 and for which the clarinetist had an intergenerational and international wish: France/Serbia/Germany/Belgium. The French clarinetist is fond of these projects with musicians from sometimes very distant universes that make these encounters enriching, color them with multiple influences and take the speakers out of their comfort zone, cultivating the unexpected!
