Saxophonist Emile Parisien is one of the most important protagonists of contemporary French jazz—a jazz visionary, who may have one foot in that ancient soil, but whose gaze is firmly fixed on the future. The leading French newspaper Le Monde has called him “the best new thing that has happened in European jazz for a long time,” while the Hamburg radio station NDR made the point of telling its listeners to give Parisien their “undivided attention.” The reference points on Parisien’s personal musical map are very widely spread indeed, ranging from the popular folk traditions of his homeland to the compositional rigor of contemporary classical music, to the abstraction of free jazz.
