Cellist Fanny Balestro and pianist-composer Julien Boss form The Boss Ensemble, a Lausanne duo exploring the borderlands between jazz, contemporary and classical music. Their work balances written structure and spontaneous improvisation, weaving chamber-like precision with jazz freedom. The recent album, recorded at Bauer Studios in Germany in March 2025, reveals a more personal, expressive voice. Intimate dialogues between cello and piano create shifting textures and contrasts, often tender, sometimes luminous.
