About

PolyMorphosis (Urban jazz trip) is a patchwork made of jazz, soul, funk, gospel, organised on the basis of themes composed by CLaude EVence JAnssens, blended with variations on jazz standards, paraphrases of J.S. Bach and influences of various blues guitar players, groovy bass players and funky drummers, with the contribution of singers and instrumentalists gathered around the project.

A surprising interpenetrations game where standards themes take unexpected forms over the variations which they are subjected and depending on the new harmonic context in which they appear. The whole thing is overhanging a groovy background tinged with jungle-jazz and brass band tones.

Claude Evence Janssens is a Belgian composer, but also instrumentalist, graduated in musicology. He composes mainly for ensembles and groups that he creates according to his various projects, which do not belong to jazz in particular but to crossings which relate to urban jazz, electro-jazz, world-jazz, and in general what one could call a 'shifted jazz', although always close to roots. Due to the lyrical expressiveness that dominates his compositions, Claude Evence readily qualifies his music as narrative, cinematographic or scenographic.
