Tauchen Sie ein in das musikalische Universum von Raphael Imbert und seinem Quartett mit diesem fesselnden Album, das live im legendären Pariser Jazz- und Elektro-Treffpunkt la Gare - le Gore aufgenommen wurde. Sie werden die Virtuosität und Kreativität des Quartetts in ihrem eigenen berauschenden Blues Ecosystem of Citybirds, dem stimmungsvollen Adelphi Street und dem nachdenklichen La Dame à la licorne hören. Jedes Stück lädt zu einer musikalischen Reise ein, vom emotionalen Wiedersehen in I'll be seeing you bis zu den tiefen Nuancen von Japanese Sketch und Kadidja. Raphaël Imbert und sein Quartett zeigen, wie intensiv eine Live-Performance sein kann, wenn sie von ihrer eigenen Musik, der Inspiration des Augenblicks und ihrer Interaktion mit dem Publikum angetrieben wird.
