If I knew, I might not come. I was expecting a jazz concert, electric of course, but rather it was electronic music with a saxophone moments (Julien Lourau also playing the Fender Rhodes, but then blends into the overall sound). And this music, at the intersection of Foley and Jeff Sharel turntables DJ Oil, seems thick, very subtle, sometimes only a little dirty, which is OK, but do not cling. The voice of Karl The Voice brings a soulful side, but it is far from the beauty of Anthony Joseph at Laurent Garnier (the comparison with this concert is cruel, but there are too many common elements that I don ' think not, and measure the distance). Also, repeat 500 times "When They Call Me, They call me Superman, Superman soon becomes tiresome and vaguely irritating and really annoying.
But it's not just music: it is a concert film. Above the stage, a large screen showing cartoons of the 40s, produced by the Fleischer brothers (the creators of Betty Boop) on the super-hero who fought volcanoes and mad scientists (with more power lower than those posted later, he tired quickly in those days!).
These cartoons are accompanied by Fred Ladoue hacks, filming live from small theaters where they place toys and various effects (spinning wheels, flames and smoke, etc..). In this discipline, its performance is halfway between the worst ( Gary Hill illustrating Varese) and best ( Pierrick Sorin starring Gerard Pesson ).
short, not great and all ...
Spotify: In the eclectic discography Julien Lourau, this concert is the album Brighter Days . I expected something more approaching Fire and Forget . But I'd rather see him in a truly Jazz Quartet kind Saigon.
