Body & Soul Consort, a quintet dedicated to jazz and baroqueBorn from the meeting of musicians from rich and varied backgrounds, Body & Soul Consort is willing to create bridges between two musical languages that have a lot in common, even if they are separated by more than three centuries : baroque and jazz. The founding idea of Body & Soul Consort is to blur stylistic barriers by mingling the features of jazz and baroque chosing among a repertoire from both styles. Through intimate and warm sonorities of ancient instruments (cornetto, archlute, viola da gamba, double bass), coulourful rhythmics and a jazzy-lyrical vocality, but also innovative arrangements and compositions, the band explores new ways to interpret and improvise on these repertoires. Since 2019, Body & Soul Consort has performed various concerts in Paris, in Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Bordeaux) and Bretagne to present its first album I Put a Spell on You, released in 2021 by Les Belles Ecouteuses. |
