An acoustic, intimate duo, without overdub: Francois Verly plays bass marimba, harpsichord, tablas, gongs, tibetan bowls and percussion; I play English horn, bass and piccolo clarinets, soprano and tenor saxophones.
I sign all compositions except Octobre Blanc and Clou de
Girofle which are from Francois. I recorded and mixed the CD myself.
Creation 2006.

Marcin and Bartlomiej Oles, two Polish twin brothers of Jewish origin, decided
they would record their compositions, written for oboe/English horn, bassoon, cello,
double bass and drums, with the best musicians in the world able to improvise on
those instruments: Michael Rabinowitz on bassoon, Erik Friedlander on cello, and...
myself on oboe and English horn. We recorded this CD while on tour in Poland, in 2004.
Creation 2004-2005.
Compositions for 9 musicians chosen for their musicianship rather than their instrument, written in New Mexico and recorded in New York, influenced by all continents: one can spot Bulgaria, Turkey, India, Africa, Middle East through the improvisations.
Soprano saxes (Peter Epstein), French horn (Tom Varner), cello (Jonas Tauber), hammond organ, frame drums, bass clarinet and more orchestrate this CD.
All compositions by Emmanuelle. Created 2000-2001.
As a result to Emmanuelle's and Marc's encountering, this CD includes compositions of both co-leaders.
Chamber jazz finely executed, reminding of programmatic, film music, and incorporating many different styles with taste.
Created 2000.
First CD of Emmanuelle as a leader, it perspires New York dynamic and her fresh jump, full of illusions, into the jazz world.
Electric with the Helios Quartet, more contemporary and intimate with the Tone Poets, it includes Jim Black on drums,
Chris Potter on bass clarinet and Jay Elfenbein on viola da gamba.
This CD was recorded at New York's legendary Knitting Factory.
All compositions by Emmanuelle.
