Description:

Leader Clovis Nicholas (b) joins together a jazz quartet featuring Jeremy Pelt (tp), Bill Stuart (d), Sullivan. Fortner (p), and ensemble parts by the Ulysses String Quartet. He is known for his work with André Ceccarelli and Stéphane Belmondo, as well as for his work as bassist for Baptiste Trotignon's first leader. Jeremy Pelto is one of the leading trumpeters of our time. Bill Stuart, a versatile drummer heavily used by charismatic musicians such as Pat Metheny and John Scofield; Tosarivan Fortner, who was Roy Hargrove's regular pianist from 2010 to 2017; the jazz parts of a stellar quartet, and string quartet ensemble, pieced together as a single work. Nicolas first became interested in classical composition at the Juilliard School. This is also his first attempt at classical music.The string quartet is called "Le Miroir" and features the New York-based Ulysses String Quartet. The string quartet was recorded first, and then jazzed up with a quartet based on the recording, a rather peculiar method of production.
