The host of the prestigious Invitation series in 2009, brilliant French trumpeter Erik Truffaz airlifted us on a musical voyage with his triptych Rendez-vous. Last summer, he returned with a pair of concerts showcasing his 11th album, In Between, a work of somber and melancholy beauty enriched by the presence of Swiss singer Sophie Hunger-who also joined him onstage. The exceptional reedman will present the results of his most recent explorations-and pieces from an album due in early autumn-in L'Astral.
