Spring 2014: the legendary Impulse! Company is reborn in a nice way, since the first release was the album “Viper’s Drag”, by Butler, Bernstein & The Hot 9. An unexpected meeting between New-Orleans native pianist Henry Butler and New York trumpet player Steven Bernstein, the opus was the synthesis of very different influences, from classical jazz to avant-garde. The Hot 9 will perform on different French stages in October.
