“Paris Anthem is an hommage to Miles Davis
And his tribute to the boxer Muhammad Ali.
All his lifetime Miles continues boxing
And his box is also the trumpet.
The moment Miles discovers Paris
Paris discovers Miles.
Miles introduces a sound of chaos and improvisation
A breathing of freedom and innovation
A poetics of change...”

Une souffle de liberté et d’innovation
Une poétique de transgression...”
