lyrics

We are not ‘free’ at all... improvisation is an ART (all the great musicians of history were improvisers); it is natural, it’s a life-art (un art de vivre)...
improvisation is about life and death – that’s why it’s such a strong jubilation, it’s a drug... because each time we improvise we are in between life and death. Joëlle Léandre
