MONTEVERDI - a trace of grace

Über die CD

In the tradition of „Le Concert des Parfums“ (Carpe Diem CD- 16277), “Monteverdi“, a brainchild of Michel Godard, was also recorded in the magical abbey of Noirlac, France, during enchanted Summer nights.

Jazz Trio (Michel Godard, Steve Swallow, Gavino Murgia) meets Early Baroque Trio (Guillemette Laurens, Fanny Paccoud, Bruno Helstroffer) and lets two musical dimensions grow, enlaced together in labyrinthine arabesques, playing songs of Claudio Monteverdi, Michel Godard and Steve Swallow in a natural implicitness and lightheartedness.

Michel Godard - serpent, bass
Guillemette Laurens - voice
Gavino Murgia - saxophone, voice
