“Open Heart“ is also the name of her new album. Similarly to her impressive ACT debut “Way of Life”, for which she was nominated for the “Victoire du Jazz” prize and selected as one of five “Rising Stars” of the “Take Five Europe” scheme for emerging artists, the name again speaks for itself. Due to her vitality, passion and openness for harmonies, various influences from her earlier career are brought together on this album: her classical saxophone education, her experience in big bands, the trio that she has recently formed with the excellent drummer Hary Ratsimbazafy from Madagascar and electric bass player Kevin Reveyrand with chanson and world music experience as well as the seven years she taught music at the La Reunion.
