World jazz excursions on the baritone saxophone with heart and open ears. Virtuoso and with long breath for growling low notes, Céline Bonacina "simply blows her listeners away" (Jazzthing).

Céline Bonacina
The French jazz saxophonist has made a name for herself with her unique approach and virtuoso technique. With her main instrument, the baritone saxophone, she has established herself on the European jazz scene and has impressively demonstrated her musical versatility in projects such as the ‘Céline Bonacina Quartet’ and the ‘Céline Bonacina Trio’. Her music combines classical jazz elements with contemporary sounds and influences from world music, which contributes to her characteristic and multi-layered sound. She is recognised for her creative expressiveness and her ability to combine emotional depth with technical brilliance.
