Info for Live in Paris

The queen of this fiery quartet, whose name refers to a Wayne Shorter composition, is Delphine Deau, pianist and composer, the pivot of this group of former students of the Paris Conservatoire, as close-knit as they are complementary. Each of them brings his own freedom of sound: Camille Maussion and his lyrical and organic saxophone, Pierre Demange, a drummer familiar with the world of film, and the Brazilian Pedrio Vio Ferreira, an all-round bassist. With two albums already under their belt, the Néfertiti Quartet continues their exploration of permanent movement.

Nefertiti Quartet:
Delphine Deau, piano
Camille Maussion, saxophone
Pedro Ivo Ferreira, bass
Pierre Demange, drums

Nefertiti Quartet
is about a passion for working on the form of compositions. This quartet of superb players was formed by pianist Delphine Deau in 2013, and her pieces have a compelling dramaturgy. The pulse and the melodic line only emerge after joyous free interchange, frolicking and shadowplay. Saxophonist Camille Maussion is a melodic player who is involved in ‘soundpainting,’ and also collaborates in the fields of dance, theatre and storytelling. He extends Deau’s concept and complements her lyrical playing in an ideal way. Drummer Pierre Demange also works in other art forms, notably the film and circus worlds. His mode of working with the wonderfully flexible Brazilian double bassist Pedro Ivo Ferreira often feels like they have together discovered the secret of perpetual motion.

The masterful interplay of the four musicians of this gender-equal unit contained all achievements of modern North American jazz in a highly developed manner and offered highly precise soloing. - Henning Bolte (All About Jazz)
