The Big Fish quartet is the result of a collaboration between the ethereal trio Dancing Birds (Julien Soro, Gabriel Midon, Ariel Tessier) and alto saxophonist Léa Ciechelski; a journey into the imagination of water and air. Originally founded to celebrate the music of the great jazz composers and musicians of the 20th century, such as Paul Motian, Ornette Coleman, and Chris Lightcap, the group quickly took a more personal and original direction: each member adds their compositional touch to create music of depth and lightness.

A companion of several French jazz legends, such as Daniel Humair and Bernard Lubat, Christophe Monniot has made a name for himself through his astonishing mastery of several instruments in the saxophone family (alto, baritone, and sopranino) and his ability to take musical cross-streets where the legacy of the great jazz innovators meets more European ways of improvising music.

Clément Janinet is one of the most promising French violinists and composers who, although deep into jazz, emerge from it to retain only freedom of play and style.

South-Korean pianist Francesca Han, French double bassist Pierre Fenichel, and drummer Fred Pasqua combine their unique talents and worlds in Wakan.
