Unessa

Magnifique rencontre que Happy Hour a pu immortalisé lors de ce concert, celle du de Kari Ikonen, pianiste finlandais et du saxophoniste iconoclase Louis Sclavis. 
Pour cette émission, tout d'abord un solo de Kari Ikonen qui cultivera un jeu personnel qui s’inspire aussi bien des gammes arabes (maqâmat) que de l’histoire du jazz, ou encore de l’œuvre du peintre Vassily Kand. En seconde partie, nous retrouvons ensuite le clarinettiste Louis Sclavis qui partagera la scène aux côtés de Kari Ikonen pour un duo exclusif.
