En ce 3 juin, seize ans déjà sans Ernest Wiehe. L'architecte du jazz mauricien s'est tu, mais sa musique continue à se faire ressentir.

There are artists who impress you... and then there are artists who quietly reshape the way you hear, feel, and express music. For me, Ben Wendel has been one of those rare artists.
The way he approaches melody, harmony, rhythm, and space completely changed my perspective on music and composition. His sound is deeply modern, emotional, intelligent, and honest at the same time. Listening to him made me understand that music doesn't always need to be loud or complex to say something powerful. Even today, his artistry continues to guide and inspire me. In many ways, Ben helped me shape the musician I am still becoming.
