Born in 1970, Julien Lourau attentively listened to contemporary currents. Like a whole generation which grew up listening to fusion bands of the ‘70’s and the ‘80’s, the saxophonist naturally evolved in mixed sounds of his time.

We may find in it free influences, Ornette Coleman’s harmolody, a rock energy and a lot of freedom.
