NoSax NoClar continues to explore the acoustic dialogue between saxophone and clarinet. Atypical and mesmerizing, the french duo has been winning over professionals since 2019. (Jazz Migration 2019, Selection showcase M&D44 2021 and jazzahead! 2023, 1st Prize of 7 Virtual Jazz Club Contest 2023), and has seduced the general public with its concentration of raw beauty and pure energy.
After two albums (Kahmsïn 2019, Rëd Sisters 2022) and more than a hundred gigs, NoSax NoClar are introducing their new repertoire, called « No Dåhïss ».
Julien Stella et Bastien Weeger are renewing themselves once again, exploring new musical horizons inspired by a multitude of cultural influences, while retaining their now perfectly identifiable style.
The new generation of music from jazz and elsewhere is at work, and it’s beautiful and inventive.
