Think Big is an unprecedent quartet which has the air of a libertarian manifesto. A ground of experimentation furiously alive. The double bass player Thibault Cellier and the saxophonist Raphaël Quenehen got to know each other for 18 years within the collective of artists “Les Vibrants Défricheurs” and the band “Papanosh”. Along with them, Mike Reed, drummer and composer, hyper-activist on the Chicago’s scene and member of the AACM plus Ben Lamar Gay, his long-time partner, trumpetist and multi-instrumentalist coming from the same galaxy. Think Big, for a perpetual musical de-liberation
