The raw sound of the acoustic instruments is the symbol of a return to the source... The totem spirit of a small tribe lives in its primitive music, through which retains its essence, its breath of life: music with power in its simplicity, one that touches directly the core of your being.
Tribal Jazz Project are:
Marc Pujol (Percussion)
Christian Mariotto (Drums)
Cedric Hanriot (Piano)
Jean Luc Deat (Contrabass)
Damien Prud'homme (Tenor Sax & composition).
The deep roots of Jazz originate in Africa. It is this route that the 5 musicians of Tribal Jazz Project aim to explore... a tapestry of percussion and drums weaved into the fabric of the group. Saxophonist, writer and arranger Damien Prud'homme invites you into his world through his compositions: a delicate balance between melody and drum...
