After an opus in 2012 self-production, made of original compositions revealing an inspired and modern universe, the French saxophonist Thomas Ibanez presents his new album which is part of a great tradition of Hard Bop. He signed with the Jazz Family label and released “If Ever I Would Leave You” in March 2018. Beyond the warm, voluble and powerful sound developed in order to be on the trail of the legendary saxophonist Dexter Gordon, Thomas worked for several years on the repertoire of this new album.
