In 2024, with "Above the laws", she gives a highly anticipated follow-up to the album "Outlaws", released in 2020, receiving among others the congratulations of the legendary American flautist Hubert Laws himself, whose jazz funk work she revisited. She continues her homage to other of her great inspirations: Gil Scott Heron, Nils Landgren, and other flautists who have greatly influenced her such as Jeremy Steig, Bobbi Humphrey and Dave Valentin.
It features original compositions by Ludivine, imbued with the 70's jazz funk tradition of the CTI label, as well as carefully selected covers. For the occasion, she brings together a team of renowned producers: Eric Legnini, Michael Lecoq, Laurent de Wilde and Alex Finkine.
Always passionate about the mix of jazz expression techniquesand those of funk, Ludivine brings a modern and resolutely current vision of jazz, inspired in recent years by the English scene (Kamaal Williams, Yussef Dayes, Nubiyan Twist...) or American scene (Snarky Puppy...).
She explores all the flutes, particularly alto and bass, orchestrated for the first time here with a brass section and surrounds herself with outstanding musicians.
