[Sun Dew] - derived from latin ros solis, meaning "dew of the sun". Carnivorous plant growing in swamps, with an ingenious way to catch its prey.
This project is an international combination of 6 young musicians coming from diverse musical backgrounds. Co-leaders Héloïse Lefebvre and Paul Audoynaud discovered a fertile breeding ground in Berlin for Sun Dew, whose features, like the plant, are as striking as they are bewitching.
After the release of their critically acclaimed debut in 2017 on french label Laborie Jazz (rated "Revelation" by Jazz Magazine), the two French musicians announce a new collaboration with Heartcore Records (founded by iconic guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel) and the release of a new EP called "This Secret Cay" on September 14th, 2018.
The first single and title track "This Secret Cay" is accompanied by great visuals by Chrisse Kunst:
This non-standard sextet aspires to create a powerful and dreamlike universe built with ambitiously diverse compositions, delivered by talented players.
"I became aware of Sun Dew through some former students of mine in Berlin. I found their music engaging, well constructed and thoughtful. They are able to realize their creative aesthetic in a way that for me embodies the Heartcore ethos - with high quality and deep commitment." - Kurt Rosenwinkel
