LOUIS SCLAVIS TRIO: Louis Sclavls came out of the experimental musical scene in Lyon, where he was a member of the L'ARFI collective, and has gone on to establish himself as one the most distinctive artists on the European jazz scene in a range of very different settings. An exemplary performer on bass clarinet and tenor saxophone, he is joined by bass player Bruno Chevillon and drummer Francois Merville in his regular trio to launch a three-night mini-series of innov- ative contemporary jazz with a distinctly French flavour at the Tron.
