For her fourth album as a leader, pianist and vocalist, Leila Olivesi takes her inspiration from Etats et Empires du Soleil et de la Lune, a novel by 17th Century writer Cyrano de Bergerac. Combining social criticism, adventure novel and philosophical discourse, it is a major work of the time and it foreshadows science fiction. Olivesi's Utopia is a similarly modern work written in the universal language of music. 

She is joined by Manu Codjia on guitar and Yoni Zelnik on bass, and American saxophonist David Binney for three tracks. ~ Editorial Reviews http://www.amazon.com/Utopia-Leila-Olivesi/dp/B00TE80ZZO
