about
Mathilde Renault is a young pianist, singer and composer. She was born in Malmedy in 1986, both her parents are musicians. Her main passion has always been composition and creation; as a kid she played music, painted and photographed. But she only really began to study the piano at the age of 16 even if she already played and composed before. She began to sing with Bulgarian singers and then went away of that kind of singing to create her own style. She always did free improvisation,every time she met a new musician on her way,and she's still doing it... Jonas Knutsson was born in 1965 and comes from the northern Swedish town of Umeå. His parents were involved with the annual jazz festival there and through them his interest for jazz was awakened. He chose the alto saxophone as his main instrument. He studied in the late 70s with the American saxophonist Sahib Shihab who was then living in Denmark. Later he worked with the Indian tabla player Fazal Querishi, the American bassist Tom Kennedy and the fusion bands Cabazz and Mynta. He became a member of Elise Einarsdotter's Ensemble with which he has toured many times in France and Belgium.
