Sylvie Courvoisier - Improvisations and new compositions
It’s no longer extraordinary for contemporary musicians to be comfortable with both classical and improvised music, but pianist and composer Sylvie Courvoisier and Mark Feldman are so at ease that the result ceases to fit in either world and moves into new territory. Sylvie Courvoisier can also be heard with John Zorn and Jim Stanley.
