Five in Orbit - Tribulus Terrestris (2016)


Five in Orbit brings together the musical personalities of Ramon Fossati, Laurent Bronner and Olivier Brandily in a collective project that includes all jazz languages. Together with Nicolas Rageau and Luc Isenmann, they offer us a unique, luminous and communicative music. Five in Orbit have fed on the sources of jazz transmitting vitality, energy and a special ability to enjoy music.

Their original compositions show an especially well cared for writing, sound textures and arrangements, in a well-organized “chaos”. Always in search of new timbres to enrich their compositions, Five in Orbit also plays with the sound of shells, prepared piano, flutes, gongs and the songs of birds.
