A prominent activist on the new French music scene, the saxophonist
Sylvain Rifflet has a musical culture that goes far beyond jazz, taking
in experimental rock and contemporary music of all sorts.
In this
daring multimedia project, conceived in collaboration with fellow
saxophonist Jon Irabagon, Rifflet has breathed new life into the art and
spirit of Moondog, the hallowed New York tramp who rubbed shoulders
with the great and the good, inspiring the likes of Charlie Parker,
Allen Ginsberg and Philip Glass. This subtle reworking, a blueprint for
creative reinvention, is available here in both audio and video versions.
