Michel Portal is a clarinettist and saxophonist with a dazzling technique, a tireless explorer of sounds, always on the lookout for new musical adventures. He is as comfortable with Brahms as he is with Bernard Lubat or as a composer of film music. After a ten-year absence, he makes a masterly return to the recording studio on his 85th birthday and leads a high-flying quintet that includes French bassist Bruno Chevillon, German trombonist Nils Wogram, young Belgian drummer Lander Gyselinck and pianist Bojan Z.
