The French neo big band celebrates its 10th anniversary with a live concert broadcasted live on the French radio station France Musique.

The genesis of this one is an ode to the explorers who went to visit "the ends of the world", the North and the South poles

Between icebergs, extreme cold, icy waters, infnite landscapes, clear skies and current and crazy expeditions as led by Jean-Louis Etienne with Océan Polaire.

POLAR STAR embodies the visual and soundtrack of these crazy epics: a music that is at the same time intimate, fragile and epic, and sometimes abyssal to escape in a dreamlike exploration movie.

It is an "awareness" album, taking care of the extreme beauty of the world, but also a message full of hope: to be amazed and to continue to be. POLAR STAR reveals a new breath, at the same time powerful, sensitive and luminous. It is an epic whirlwind that immerses us into the depths of a progressive jazz with rock, electro, and sometimes pop fragments.

"We love what amazed us and we protect what we love" Jean-Yves Cousteau
