The interplay between this incomparable leader and his companions is pure elegance: smooth yet energetic and profoundly articulate. A sumptuous encounter.
An album which nourishes on a most genuine jazz feeling, between rhythmic and effervescent episodes and others marked by an atmosphere of great melodic gracefulness, such as the title track, which can be heard in two versions: the first with the participation of Elisabeth Kontomanou, and the second performed by the quartet. Everywhere André Ceccarelli's dynamic and masterly drumming is the pivot around which the musical machine rotates, with well-greased gauges.
Elisabeth Kontomanou appears courtesy of Nocturne.
