OFF Jazz | Dolma, Rossy, Jobin, An Experience for Voice and Percussion

In the context of Off Jazz, the sacred beauty of the Chapelle Saint-Louis was the ideal setting for this highly convincing and unique project led by drummer Aaron Dolman. Alongside two singers, Sarah Rossy and Eugénie Jobin, this trio navigates instrumentation that reveals a real depth and tenderness in Dolman’s rich chamber compositions.

With the two singers expressing themselves between harmony and counterpoint, and the drums performing between groove and melody, the uniqueness of the experience was soon imprinted on us, and the trio showed great sensitivity to make it all work.

Throughout the evening, the band not only shared their new compositions but also revisited tracks from their debut album, Are You Here to Help?

As the evening drew to a close, the trio left the audience with a particularly sweet memory: a folk rendition of the aptly titled “Can the Circle Be Unbroken.” Aaron joined in this more intimate sequence, furnishing the larger whole with warm drum triads, bringing the evening to a heartfelt conclusion, memorable for those in attendance.
