Only for Savigné-L’évéque, here is an unpublished duet with the brilliant American drummer Hamid Drake. A favorite companion of Archie Shepp, David Murray, Chico Freeman, Pharoah Sanders, Don Cherry or the singer Laïka, Hamid Drake is at ease in all styles from bebop to the most contemporary jazz. His unprecedented meeting with Michel Portal will undoubtedly offer a most elegant and inventive conversation between two virtuosos used to instant musical jousting, and totally generous “live”! A new encounter that already counts in today’s jazz!
