LUDIVINE ISSAMBOURG - ABOVE THE LAWS

With 'Above the Laws', she gives a highly anticipated follow-up to the album 'Outlaws',

released in 2020, which received among others the congratulations of the legendary

American flautist Hubert Laws himself, whose jazz funk work she revisited.

She continues her homage to other of her great inspirations: Gil Scott Heron, Nils

Landgren, and other flautists who have greatly influenced her such as Jeremy Steig,

Bobbi Humphrey and Dave Valentin. It features original compositions by Ludivine,

imbued with the 70's jazz funk tradition of the CTI label, as well as carefully selected

covers.

For the occasion, she brings together a team of renowned producers: Eric Legnini,

Michael Lecoq, Laurent de Wilde and Alex Finkine. Always passionate about the mix

of jazz expression techniques and those of funk, Ludivine brings a modern and

resolutely current vision of jazz, inspired in recent years by the English scene (Kamaal

Williams, Yussef Dayes, Nubiyan Twist) or American scene (Snarky Puppy).

She explores all the flutes, particularly alto and bass, orchestrated for the frst time

here with a brass section and surrounds herself with outstanding musicians, including

guests Brian Jackson, Nils Landgren, Wolfgang Valbrun, Laurent de Wilde, Chassol,

Eric Legnini, Celine Bonacina. Plus a superb band: Ludivine Issambourg (flutes),

Swaeli Mbappe (bass), Michael Lecoq (keys), Yoann Serra (drums), Vincent Aubert

(trombone), Lucas St Cricq, Sylvain Fetis (saxophones).
