Sylvia Bruckner, Ivan Palacký, Quentin Rollet, Yoram Rosilio, Jaroslav Šťastný

This album was recorded in Brno, Czech Republic when these five masterful musicians were invited to perform together at a festival. Quentin Rollet started playing the alto saxophone at the age of 11 and the sopranino saxophone at 37.

This led him to find himself on record or on stage with groups as varied as Nurse With Wound, Prohibition or The Red Krayola. Sylvia Bruckner is an internationally acclaimed pianist, working in the field of experimental contemporary music and improvisation.
