"You could find here the brassy hymns of a Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra, the swaying of a dazzling Ornette Coleman (his double quartet on "free jazz"), the heartbreak and the natural melodic of a John Zorn , the temptations of the noisy music of Henry Cow ("Unrest" for example), or the raging scansions and electric era of a King Crimson
(his influence is barely hidden in the hypnotic pounding of "La
Foley" and downright explicit in the final three minutes of "Free
to KC Gawa", two compositions by guitarist Philip Gordiani with his
known love for Robert Fripp when he does not celebrate Syd Barrett in
the I. Overdrive Trio)"

If we could qualify the inventive musical period of the end of the sixties as "Pop, free and political", it is really in that direction that it is necessary to go to search influence of these musicians: "... Artists hired in a confused world, they give us a direct, approachable music without simplism, free without concession... A succession of pieces which speak about anger, brotherhood, hope, cordiality and uprising. Of freedom especially... " (CITIZEN JAZZ 2009) This orchestra, which assumes all the influences of the musics of these last 40 years with happiness, is a collective group not subjected to the absolute dictatorship of an unique leader : each one comes here with his ideas, his scores, his sense of playing, to put the music in division, by conjugating (by cultivating) the singular to the plural...
