Jazz legend Henri Texier celebrates his 78th birthday this year. Throughout his career, the French double bassist shared the stage with stars like Joe Lovano, John Scofield, John Abercrombie or Bill Frisell, but Texier also has a nose for talent. Two generations meet in his trio that entered the studio for the album Heteroklite Lockdown during the pandemic. An ode to freedom and to pure jazz.
