Jazz Finland Live

MIR is an acronym for Monniot, Ithursarry and Roy ; a word which in Russian language means “World” as well as “Peace”. In communion with these trio partners, the French saxophonist Christophe Monniot sounds more lyrical than ever and he continues to develop the potential of his lush artistry. The influences on Station MIR range from “ball musette” to Ligeti, via Duke Ellington. Nothing is excluded, certainly not popular music. The trio was created at the Grenoble Jazz Festival in April 2010 and published its first album in December 2012 on Le Triton –record label.
