A Tree in the Mist (4 stars Jazzmagazine) is Italian bassist Matteo Bortone's (2015 Best New Italian Talent Award) fifth production as a leader, the second with the same band
(“One of the most daring bands on the new jazz scene” Theodore Van Claer, DJAZZ).

But it is also a collective album, where it is impossible to distinguish the soloist from the accompanist. The composer plays the role of an imaginary cartographer, drawing places that the musicians can then traverse as they see fit.
The name of the group is a profession of faith: No Land's, no land, no fixed place. The landscape evolves, and the traveler with it.
Matteo Bortone draws his inspiration from ancient myths and cosmologies that celebrate not the ideal essence of being, but becoming. An exploration of inner transformation when we travel, dream, grow old, or remember.

Each composition is governed by a principle of morphing,
of transformation, of entropy. The fragments of melody, the riffs, the ostinati are signals designed to get lost.
This uncertain landscape, consumed by mist, is created by Benjamin Garson on guitar, Yannick Lestra on keyboards, Julien Pontvianne on saxophone, and Ariel Tessier on drums. They abandon themselves together to find the darkness in each piece.
In the darkness lies the sacred. In the darkness lies the sacred. They play with the fervor and humility of mystics.
‘A Tree in the Mist’ has the evocative power of a panorama seen through the clouds, a sum of memories, a path among ruins and wild grasses.
