In the days following the interview, you receive additional information, entire pages of notes decorated with emojis and puns; he explains that he woke up in the morning thinking about a point that had not been sufficiently enlightened. Yvan Ischer, with his narrowed eyes, his leather vests, his long hair with short temples, this way he displays of flying over the world in search of the perfect tempo, hides behind his jokes the anxiety of a professional aesthete.

This is because he likes stories to be told with care. The conversation lasts a long time, full of incises which respond to countersongs, an anecdote which leads to a detail. It feels like you’re on the radio when, behind the microphone, you feel like you’re taking part in a bebop recording session, the full credits of the musicians, the weather outside, the smell of sulfur, the taste of sugar, the mystique of the moment which makes jazz a suspended acrobatics.
