Following the international success of PLANET, LETTER, and NOCHE, Sofiane Pamart returns with MOVIE, his most ambitious and deeply personal solo album to date, conceived as the first InchfilmInch he has ever scored himself. Spanning 20 tracks, the album marks a major artistic turning point, blending intimate piano compositions with cinematic scale and featuring the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra alongside 14 international collaborators including Wyclef Jean, Celeste, SIA, J Balvin, Nelly Furtado, FKJ, and others. MOVIE reflects Pamart's evolution into a defining figure in contemporary piano music, underscored by over one billion global streams, mastering by Grammy winner Matt Colton, landmark performances such as the Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony, and historic achievements including selling out Accor Arena, an upcoming Stade de France performance, and high-profile collaborations ranging from Formula 1's Charles LeClerc to global pop and hip-hop icons.

Throughout his career, Zoot Sims was famous for epitomizing the swingin musician, never playing an inappropriate phrase. He always sounded inspired and from the 1950s onward, Zoot's enthusiasm and creative never wavered. A freelancer throughout most of his career, Sims often led his own combos and co-led bands with his friend Al Cohn. Zoot started doubling on soprano quite effectively in the 1970s. Through the years, he appeared in countless situations, and always exhibited impeccable musicianship, good taste and no small amount of improvisational heat. Here is a live session which finds Zoot in the company of pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist, George Mraz and the underappreciated drummer, Mousey Alexander.
