NEW ORIGIN
EXPLOSIVE FRENCH-AMERICAN TRIO
Finding the trail, following the path, bridging the beginning and the horizon, to be swept up into the depths of the present. The NEW ORIGIN TRIO makes time and space pulsate with free, colourful music that connects the United States and Europe, formal music and wild freedom.
On one side, Christophe Rocher, head of Ensemble Nautilis, a highly experienced musician who has played with some of the greatest names (Hamid Drake, Nicole Mitchell, Rob Mazurek, Vincent Courtois, Edward Perraud… ), and who participates in international projects such as ARCH and “The Bridge”.
On the other, two internationally renowned American musicians, Joe Fonda and Harvey Sorgen. They have collaborated with Wadada Leo Smith, Anthony Braxton, Barry Altchul, Dave Douglas, Oliver Lake, Hot Tuna, Brenda Bufalino, Karl Berger, Ahmad Jamal and many others. Joe Fonda was named Musician of the Year 2023 by New York Jazz Record.
Over many years of touring and recording, the members of this trio have left their mark on the history of jazz and improvised music. Each of them has received numerous critics, awards, and distinctions.
With financial support of DRAC Bretagne, Région Bretagne, Conseil Départemental du Finistère, Ville de Brest, Sacem, Henri Selmer and JLV Sound Paris.
