This album is a reinterpretation of the opera "La Bohême" by Giacomo Puccini. It's a project which Dave Burrell really cared about, but it was not easy to set up, fortunately everything is possible in Paris in this year 69.
It is not a new opera creation but an essentially instrumental reinterpretation. The reading will be done in the jazz way, and even sometimes with a hint of free. There are also a lot of Instrumental improvisations.
