Nacelle’s original compositions are based on afro-creole inspired rhythms, blended with meditative melodies and grooves leading to trance. The group is inspired by spiritual jazz musicians from the 1960s such as Abdullah Ibrahim, Yusef Lateef, Mal Waldron or Alice Coltrane, as well as by contemporary ones such as Naïssam Jalal, Matthew Halsall or Shabaka Hutchings.

Pierre-Antoine Savoyat (trumpet), Fil Caporali (double bass) and Lara Humbert (piano) perform a wide range of compositions by the famous composer, pianist and arranger Carla Bley. An artist who has greatly influenced Lara's personal world, and to whom she has decided to pay tribute.

Born in California in 1936, Carla Bley was hailed early on as a pioneer of the avant-garde. She left behind an immense body of work, formidably served by the greatest improvisers of her time. A work open, in its freshness and proposals, to many inspirations.

Il existe une musique intercontinentale provenant d’un pays qui n’existe pas, un lieu où les sons peuvent s’entrecroiser et dialoguer sans bagage ni passeport. Des mélodies plutôt simples qui donnent inspiration à des moments d’improvisation parfois proches de la transe. « Il n’y a plus de saison », ou peut-être une cinquième, qui se joue des habitudes. Un trio équilatéral où se répondent le souffle généreux de la clarinettiste Aurélie Charneux, qui signe également la plupart des compositions, Simon Leleux (spécialiste du doholla et de la darbuka) et le contrebassiste Nicolas Puma, musicien protéiforme et caméléon.
