At the risk of inconveniencing the author of the title of the album, let's say it bluntly: we are clearly not here "off" the beaten track, but securely installed inside of them, the developed aesthetic with enthusiasm and passion during these sessions recorded live at Duc des Lombards is unquestionably that of a hard-bop via binary and soul-funk as it has been practiced since the second half of the 60 years up 70-80 (Lee Morgan, Woody Shaw and Bob Mintzer, and many others). Nicolas Folmer and has the art of writing compositions sounding like standard, simple and catchy. The guest, Mintzer already invited as a soloist in the Paris Jazz Big Band Folmer and Pierre Bertrand, the directory provides a "hit" staff Bop Boy, but above all a game, and a spirited, youthful. While Mintzer, American figure of the tenor saxophone and writing for big band, does not reach here the accuracy and excellence that was his in the 80, it is indisputable that collaborations with Nicolas Folmer give him the desire to "set fire" and perhaps try more things than usual. Also be noted the ability of Antonio Farao instill a bit of strangeness in a context altogether very conventional. In the end, a sort of "jam session organized" mess, to say the least and extremely ... tonic. Translate by google ~ Eric Quenot  http://www.musiquefrancaise.net/echo/voir_sujet.php?ID=114
