Sextet The advantage of the vast stage of the Salle Pleyel to deploy broadly, the guitarist Lionel Loueke on one side, the pianist Bojan Z on the other, the bassist Scott Colley and drummer Jack DeJohnette a little behind, and the center occupied by the trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire and clarinetist (and sometimes saxophone, bandoneon not tonight) Michel Portal.
It starts with Loueke's guitar, his dry, close to the kora and pace of mouth, and DeJohnette completes the frieze subtle percussive and joyous. Fairly quickly after chorus of all, some players are silent, and we are entitled to a beautiful piano trio-bass-drums. There will be more than one beautiful duet clarinet-guitar. And solos, of course. Talents are sufficiently numerous on the scene so that multiple configurations are possible, and they will be well exploited.
I do not know why the game tonight does Jack DeJohnette me neither hot nor cold, his solos seem uninspired, I do not feel any particular thrill to listen. It provides a flawless rhythmic layer, but no mystery for my liking.
I find more pleasure in the solos by Scott Colley (deep, ineradicable) is saying!
Bojan Z is discrete, mostly in support, piano more than electronic keyboards, and more agreements in clusters, away from his jazz-rock explorations in his own group. We can see that he has kept the same class when it is absolutely more to speak, even in this record that more African balkan.
invoked Africa among others by the guitarist Lionel Loueke, also at times very quiet, and then swinging between classical and electronic sounds tell others much drier and percussive.
And next to the master work of Michel Portal, always lyrical, generous, juggling between different hips, the revelation of the evening is the trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, sparkling a bit tense at first solo, as frustrated at not reaching the high notes blow it seems to seek, and thoroughly relaxed, sober stage presence, and play bright, clear, exciting.
As I am in the middle of the third, very close to the scene, therefore, the two blowers eat just the sound of the pianist and guitarist. Listening on ArteLiveWeb gives me blow impressions rather different from those experienced in the evening!
After initial a. Normally, musicians grow Portal on stage and then abandon it, and he submits to the exercise of the solo, a classic view of the reactions room, and absolutely gorgeous.
