Water overflows and violent weather are now part of our reality. So was it prescient to give a French-speaking jazz group the name L’Orage 8 years ago? The author of this act, drummer Nelson Schaer, admits to being concerned about the question of water and its accessibility for everyone. To underline his point, the band’s new album is entitled Water Tower (“The Water Tower”). The seven pieces it contains unfold, sometimes playing repetitive motifs (Art to)or melancholic (Medegalia, named after the Ticino village where it was designed) or even fun (Mohan dedicated to the daughter of one of the musicians).
L’Orage is a group with variable geometry, whose core is made up of four members with very distinct musical profiles: the prolific guitarist and co-founder of the Cheptel Records label, Robin Girod, the jazz saxophonist Ganesh Geymeier, the bassist and sound maestro Fabien Iannone and Nelson Schaer, drummer, programmer of the Ella Fitzgerald Stage and therefore initiator of the training.
