Orchid

Emanation of the Parisian-Aquitaine jazz collective Déluge, the Orchid is a large modern ensemble, which draws from the big jazz bands of the great era (Count Basie, Thad Jones) but also from European scholarly music, music of the world and even of its American counterparts (Maria Schneider, Kenny Wheeler), until the music of today. This young group brings together 18 musicians passionate about group play and original music. Everyone is free to offer compositions of their own, which abound a common constantly evolving repertoire. Driven by the enthusiasm of its members, the Orchid deploys a rare energy in concert, lyrical ramblings in feverish tuttis.
