Green Wagon is the culmination of a musical collaboration between three friends from diverse backgrounds. Recorded in 2012, this album marks the first trio project by Guadeloupe pianist Jonathan Jurion, accompanied by his drummer friend, 2025 Victoires du Jazz winner Arnaud Dolmen, and Cuban bassist Damian Nueva. The title Green Wagon evokes a shared space, a kind of sonic vehicle where Caribbean, Afro-Cuban, and modern New York jazz influences intersect. Each piece is an exploration of the roots and rhythms that unite the three musicians, blending tradition and innovation. The compositions, both personal and collective, allow for great freedom of improvisation, creating a fluid and organic musical flow. Through Green Wagon, Jonathan, Arnaud, and Damian weave an intimate, sincere musical conversation deeply rooted in their respective histories. The album is a bridge between cultures, a creative encounter full of energy and emotion. Thirteen years later, Arnaud Dolmen's Samana Production label finally releases this superb album.

Poets of Forest is a musical journey where the soul of jazz blends with the mysteries of nature. Drummer Arnaud Dolmen composes three themes, the starting points for a spellbinding exploration of sound. Alongside double bassist Michel Alibo and multi-instrumentalist Jowee Omicil (flute, alto and soprano saxophones, bass clarinet), these melodies are transformed and brought to life in multiple forms. Each version seems to emerge from another world, where the forest and its secrets whisper between the notes. Special guest harpist Sophye Soliveau sculpts soundscapes as vast as they are mysterious. Together, they weave a timeless musical canvas. Poets of Forest is a space of silence and light, where imagination and reality meet, where nature speaks to the soul. A meditation in sound, both fragile and powerful.
