In recent years, Henri Texier multiplies the name of its formations while still keeping some of the same musicians. This "Brain Dance Quintet" is the "North-South Quintet", renamed on the occasion of this concert as part of the Brain Festival for research on neurodegenerative diseases. This quintet is actually the "Red Road Quartet, plus Bearzatti Francesco (the leader of the Quartet Tinissima saw two days ago ). This "Red Road Quartet" was itself sometimes called "Strada Quartet, as is the famous Strada Sextet, private and Corneloup Kornazov.
short, we Christophe Marguet on drums, sometimes less explosive, more concentrated, but still impressive, able to fire even with mallets. Henri Texier will do little in front, behind leader, offering small moments to Archer, a great play, and a small percussion instrument used on the strings. Manu Codjia is still volatile, liquid sounds here, burning, and we offer a solo electronic sound processing extraordinary inventiveness ("Tormentoso") before a very very rock song ("Mucho Calor"). The two blowers, Sébastien Texier and Francesco Bearzatti play more on the parallel on the complement, thus both on the clarinet, or both on saxophone. They exchange little lines like sax and trumpet can do. Faithful to the way in making Texier, they take solos one after another, spreading their ideas on large periods of time.
The concert features mostly songs from the album "Canto Negro" (sold in preview at the concert). Texier drew on his African inspiration, oscillates between energy and sadness (magnificent "Sueno Canto final). Some older chips ("Sacrifice") round the program.
All this gives excellent jazz, even if we could dream of more surprises, but the failure to have often seen this small group of musicians, a sense of their performance is "excellent as usual" .
