Through her entire life, Carla Bley (1936 - 2023) took a stand against academicism and conformism, and to this large ensemble (ONJ), engaging with her scores equates to taking an antidote and a hefty dose of vitamins!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Carla is the inaugural programme of Sylvaine Helary's tenure as Artistic Director of the ONJ (appointed March 2024), conceived together with saxophonist and arranger Remi Sciuto. The album offers a panoramic journey across 12 tracks - from Carla Bley's best-known compositions, through orchestral frescoes, gentle songs and chamber moments, to her most unbridled grooves. The project celebrates an artist whose work transcends the boundaries of the jazz field, blending written and so-called 'popular' music in ways that continue to captivate wide audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than prosaic rewritings, Remi Sciuto's arrangements are extensions - augmentations in which Carla Bley's presence is dual: the textual evocation of her compositions for the pure pleasure of hearing them again, and a 'provocative' spark that ignited Sciuto's imagination and affirmed his own jazzy signature. Led by 17 exceptional soloists including a string quartet, this creation embraces all musical cultures: the spirit of freedom, fantasy and comic power rubbing shoulders with rigor, exacting standards and originality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Lightweight mastodon.
