The cat which illustrates the cover of the disc is probably not there by chance. Tricycle takes us on a journey with the agility and finesse of a feline. With this group, we travel through different countries, different atmospheres of jazz tinged with Slavic, Latin or imaginary folklore music. Throughout this journey, while fragile and sometimes unspoken, the breath of the accordion by Tuur Florizoone is rightly mixed with that of the viola or soprano by Philippe Laloy . And as if to stay the course, the warm and enveloping bass from Vincent Noiret is the third essential wheel of this tricycle. For this second album, the trio this time took on a few traveling companions (hence the title King Size ) who are not one to slow down the cart: Laurent Blondiau (Mäâk's Spirit, Octurn, Rackham…) at the trumpet and flugelhorn, Stephan Pougin (Phinc, Rêve d'Eléphant Orchestra…) with volatile percussion and Brazilian-born guitarist Victor Da Costa . We pass from light and joyful moments, which promise a carefree perspective ("4 & 3 + 4"), to clearly darker moments. "Epilogue" for example, with a heavy and desolate atmosphere, suggests the delicate marriage of the sax and the trumpet in a song of extreme restraint.
From this meditation escape piano notes which fall like tears that cannot be held back. Between nonchalance and lively slowness, Tricycle has a sense of simple happiness and flexible rhythm. The slow and melancholic waltz of "Belly Button", which evokes a tired fun fair inspired by an Italian neo-realistic film, echoes the malicious "Not tonight, I'm exhausted" ... Here, it is the double bass that has the hangover. The theme hesitates between going dancing or resigning itself to staying in bed. Da Costa's guitar, with slightly South American accents, and the accordion are trying to get this little world out of a soft torpor.
Our little band then pays a beautiful tribute to Trovesi and Coscia by taking "Tribute To Vissotsky" where the twirling soprano by Laloy exchanges winks with an accordion with a deep voice. Detour also on the side of Central America with "Tupyzinho" who races like a sarabande, this time taken by a flute and Pougin's percussions. Of course, dreaming is part of the journey with "3 Pinguins On A Sunday Afternoon" and especially "Sylvana's Dream" where a light, sensual and lunar saxophone resounds. All these melodies advance in hushed steps, between perpetual folklore and jazz which does not say its name. Tricycle is not cluttered with labels and only takes emotion with it as luggage. And it's already a lot. https://www.citizenjazz.com/Tricycle.html
