THIS album demonstrates yet again the elasticity of the blues form.

Each of the French duo's compositions explores a different angle, from the pastoral Couleurs Nuit, via the stately Mingus Street Blues to the pulsating Meeting At Douglaston. Benoit Sourisse's keyboard work is nimble and imaginative throughout, while co-leader Andre Charlier's subtle and swinging playing reaches a peak on his feature, Singin' Drum. Guitarist Jean-Marie Ecay and guest saxophonist Kenny Garrett turn in superior solos.
