La Drave est une activité ancienne destinée à accompagner la libre flottaison des troncs d'arbres dans un cour d'eau.
Depuis quelques années, c'est aussi un groupe constitué de quatre ami.e.s rencontré.e.s en Bretagne, et naviguant parmi les airs et les ritournelles d'un imaginaire folklorique intemporel.
Leur musique est généreuse, personnelle, elle s'immisce dans les interstices du jazz, des musiques traditionnelles et improvisées. La texture sonore de la Drave emprunte celle du bois flotté, sculpté par les courants, les vents et les marées.

Barbastelle is a musical hybrid combining the sounds of strings and woodwinds with those of impressionist drums, and blending written chamber jazz with the unexpectedness of episodes composed in the moment. It communicates through songs made up of chirps. Its sounds are formed by a repetition of clearly discernible melodic sequences. Its song varies according to the season, but everyone can understand it.

This sextet was formed in tribute to Eric Dolphy (1928–1964) on the 60th anniversary of his death. We revisit the last four years of his life, which were crucial in understanding Dolphy’s legacy and influence. His legacy has continued to resonate since his passing. It is impossible to know what Dolphy might have achieved had he lived beyond 36 years, but what he left behind in such a short time spans multiple lifetimes of monumental creativity.

With their new album Tomorrow A Flower, Muito Kaballa embarks on another chapter of their sonic journey, picking up where Like A River left off – at the boundaries of genres and conventions. The album is a vibrant manifesto of love and life, a work that is both intimate and expansive, playful and profound, nostalgic and futuristic. Across ten tracks, Muito Kaballa weaves influences from global jazz, Afrobeat, electronic soundscapes, and a touch of untamed experimentalism. The songs effortlessly shift between wild energy, introspective reflection, and ironic humor. They invite listeners to lose themselves in a sound world that resists categorization, yet remains consistently authentic and unifying. The live show for Tomorrow A Flower is a captivating blend of musical spectacle and theatrical staging. Muito Kaballa mesmerizes audiences with boundless energy and their unmistakable stage presence. Each of the ten songs becomes an experience that simultaneously excites, moves, and surprises. 

Saxophonist and musical omnivore Benjamin Herman has been one of Holland’s most productive musicians of his generation for over three decades. Aside from thousands of gigs, Benjamin has released over 50 albums as a solo artist and as frontman of his groove-orientated ensemble New Cool Collective. His wonderfully diverse musical output includes straight-ahead jazz, Gypsy jazz, punk jazz, film scores, Afrobeat, Latin music and postmodern interpretations of pieces by Dutch composer Misha Mengelberg, as well as collaborations with vocalists, poets, pop stars, hip-hop artists, and instrumentalists from all over the world. The common thread is his quest for a recognizable, personal sound on the alto saxophone. As usual, his latest album finds him exploring new territory.
