Damien Sabatier<\/strong>: altto ja sopraninosaksofonit
\nHugues Mayot<\/strong>: tenorisaksofoni
\nJoachim Florent<\/strong>: kontrabasso
\nAntonin Leymarie<\/strong>: rummut<\/p>\n

Yhtyeen liikkeellepanevana voimana toimivat kaksi saksofonistia Damien Sabatier ja G\u00e9rald Chevillon, jotka my\u00f6s perustivat Imp\u00e9rial Quartetin vuonna 2010. jaZZanti-konsertissa kuullaan kuitenkin Chevillonin sijaan huippusaksofonisti Hugues Mayotia, joka soittaa mm. Ranskan kansallisessa jazzorkesterissa.<\/p>\n

Viidennell\u00e4 albumillaan Imperial Quartet jatkaa Keski-Euroopan kansanperinteen ja Tonavan halkomien alueiden tutkimista. Kulttuurisena lankana joki toimii kierron, kohtaamisten sek\u00e4 id\u00e4n ja l\u00e4nnen v\u00e4lisen kulttuurisen sekoittumisen symbolina.<\/p>\n

Kvartetti ammentaa kansanomaisista perinteist\u00e4 \u2013 Balkanin, unkarilaisesta, romani- ja klezmermusiikista \u2013 tuoden esiin niiden emotionaalisen syvyyden ja rytmisen rikkauden. Modaalisuus, ep\u00e4symmetriset tahtilajit ja virtuositeetti kietoutuvat yhteen vapaassa, improvisaatiosta ravintonsa saavassa s\u00e4velkieless\u00e4. Melodioita muokataan, sulatellaan ja luodaan uudelleen m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4tietoisesti nykyaikaisessa muodossa.<\/p>\n

Todellisena \u00e4\u00e4nen ja rytmin kokeellisen ty\u00f6skentelyn laboratoriona yhtye s\u00e4velt\u00e4\u00e4 ja sovittaa kollektiivisesti etsien orgaanista sointimateriaalia. Introspektiivisen pehmeyden ja voimakkaiden energiapurkausten vuorotellessa Dunav Magika on poeettinen ja maaginen \u00e4\u00e4nimatka, jossa jazz k\u00e4y vuoropuhelua eurooppalaisten kulttuurien el\u00e4v\u00e4n muistin kanssa.<\/p>\n
