Patricia Brennan & Sylvie Courvoisier (MEX, FRA)

The name TALAMANTI is inspired by the Mexican Nahuatl word “tlamantli”, which refers to two objects that simultaneously exhibit similarities and differences. The music of the Courvoisier/Brennan duo creates space for these similarities and differences. The compositions build on the unique instrumentation and the infinite sound possibilities of combining the two instruments. Both the exceptional pianist Sylvie Courvoisier and the vibraphonist Patricia Brennan explore and expand the sonic boundaries of their respective instruments, developing a new collective improvisational language that continues and enhances the legacy of this unusual instrumental pairing in jazz and improvisational music.
