About Ton kozh

\"Ton kozh\" is a collaborative track recorded live by Italian trumpeter and composer Paolo Fresu, French guitarist Jacques Pellen, and Breton singer and multi-instrumentalist Érik Marchand. The piece appears as the twelfth track on an archival release documenting performances from the Festival d’été de Québec 2001.

The recording was officially released on July 15, 2021 under the Canadian label Bell in CD format. The track spans 2 minutes and 5 seconds, showcasing an improvisational fusion of jazz, Breton folk, and Mediterranean influences. Specific compositional or lyrical details remain undocumented in available sources.

The 2001 festival performance marked a cross-cultural exchange between the artists, with Fresu contributing trumpet, Pellen on guitar, and Marchand providing vocals alongside traditional Breton instrumentation. The release compiles selections from the festival’s world music programming, though the full setlist and production credits for the original live event are not publicly specified.

No additional studio versions or alternate takes of \"Ton kozh\" have been confirmed. The track’s title translates from Breton as \"your/old skin,\" a phrase often linked to themes of identity and heritage in Marchand’s work. The 2021 CD release represents the only known commercial distribution of this performance to date.
