Now is the time to live... to set down his suitcases for a few moments and intensify the art of the encounter...
After covering several thousand kilometres with his guitar, Quentin Dujardin pauses in his voyage for a moment to blend his universe with that of a jazz pianist with a gift for finesse and sensuality: Ivan Paduart.
Both of them lovers of transparent melodies and the energy of the moment, it is no surprise that their universes cross and merge between jazz and world music. No more borders, no more boxes, only the pleasure of sharing the sound, the touch and the force of their stringed instruments.
