Conceptions, the fourth album of the pianist Olivier Collette, presents a repertoire formed only by original compositions inspired mainly by jazz but also blues or world music. Olivier is surrounded by great musicians such as Samuel Gerstmans on double bass, Matthias De Waele on drums and on four songs, and Steve Houben on alto saxophone. The music puts the accent on melody, harmony, and diversity, sometimes close to the tradition, sometimes close to modern jazz. “Conceptions” has a double meaning: the concept and to give birth to something, the basic principle of artistic creation.
