Eric Le Lann had the idea of an album tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim following his participation in 2002 in the albumWinter Garden Henri Salvador very influenced by bossa nova. How to play the 2005 Jobim without falling into cliché, déjà vu? How to renew the genre after jazz giants like Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie  Byrd? Simply playing purer, simpler in. Le Lann has put a damper on his trumpet, Ecay took his acoustic guitar. They agreed to play songs little known, in the most pure way as direct as possible. Likewise, the sound is crisp, direct. As the attacker to the point, they go to the heart.

Ipanema girl is not the appointment. You will recognize from the standard "Corcovado", "Desafinado". The version of "Aguas do Março" now mell into my head to the original and to the French version of Georges Moustaki "Waters of March". Are also included a version of "Portrait in Black and  White" Eric Le Lann played in duo with Martial Solal in 1999. Vannes Jazz Festival Every musician is entitled to his composition. "Arm" to Ecay, "Arabia" for Le Lann, compositions that fit perfectly among the songs of Jobim. The dry sound of the trumpet of Le Lann mingles wet sound of the guitar of Ecay. An acoustic fusion. A music taste drip, note by note, in the early hours of the day and night. We were expecting this album forward. To listen every morning to make sure the day will be sunny. ~ Translate by google  http://www.citizenjazz.com/Eric-Le-Lann-Jean-Marie-Ecay.html

The trumpet player and the pianist played together on the album Life On Mars by Le Lann and then met on a cruise celebrating the arrival of the first jazz band in France in 1917. The idea of celebrating the DNA of the swing duo then appeared as a challenge as unexpected as obvious. Long before embarking on the bop, to pay homage to Chet Baker or David Boxie, Eric Le Lann , exceptional jazz storyteller began with the New Orleans, inspired by the 78t of the first grand master of the genre discovered in the record collection. his father. Pianist and outstanding composer of the new generation of French jazz, Paul Lay and his encyclopedic taste for the history of jazz piano, led him to study the art of Jelly Roll Morton and Earl Hines leading him straight to Louis Armstrong. The duo met to celebrate with rare elegance the Satchmo repertoire on the album Thanks a Million. In addition to two original titles, the choice of titles has landed on particularly outstanding pieces of Armstrong, not as a composer, which he was to a lesser degree but as an interpreter who would propel these songs in the galaxy of the tubes: What a Wonderful World, Dinah, Mack the Knife, St. James infirmary ... The duo lives, sings, swings, whispers, surprises and proclaims their attachment to Armstrong's precursor universe with sincerity and poetry. The melodic purity of the lines, the rhythmic accuracy of the accents, the harmonic intuition, the sense of listening and complementarity, the duo excels in this exercise yet perilous tribute to Armstrong.

Trumpeter Eric Le Lann must be a late bloomer according to the studio photographs included on this recording. His personal sound also reflects that he is a developing jazz musician, featuring a diffuse sound that occasionally drifts off into sunset horizons. With minor-key flourishes and fading-light tonalities, Le Lann is definitely a work in progress as he sails through calm waters on this mix of standards and originals whose focus is dimly lit, smoky, and elusive to a small degree. Certainly Le Lann has hired a top-notch band to back his hazy sound, with the always extraordinary pianist David Kikoski, veteran drummer Al Foster, and solid pro bassist Douglas Weiss. Perhaps the sound of this brassman takes getting used to as he sounds like nobody else, but that in fact might be his ace in the hole. His rounded, softer edges may sound somewhat enigmatic, but to others strike an appealing chord far removed from the modern edgy or more heartily swinging vintage horn players. His warmth is easily heard on the well-worn "Yesterdays" and the light bossa treatment of "You Don't Know What Love Is," where his legato-based stream of sounds comes through clearly. His originals sport French titles like the somber funereal dirge "C'est la Nuit Lola" and the bopper "La Bleu d'Hortense," while "Hervé in Black and Blue" reflects the style of Dizzy Gillespie and the composition flavor of Benny Golson and "Today I Fell in Love" is a light funk strut with Kikoski on Fender Rhodes electric piano for contemporary contrast. There are two versions of "Ayam," both paced in easy swing where Le Lann's unanchored, wandering mood is laid down gently. The strength of the backing trio bolsters the trumpeter immeasurably in his favor in an overall credible effort, not essential or spectacular, but fateful via a pleasant mood. ~ Michael G.

"Monsters" so that the press service compares to air and fire ! .... if you want. The two leaders have called on musicians such as guitarist and singer Lionel Louéké (heard with Herbie Hancock) and talented young drummer Damien Schmitt (plus some good guests) to perform original compositions co-signed. Scientific meeting of contrasting atmospheres, alternation of acoustic and electric music, diversity of colors (dark for the last two titles), an indisputable cohesion. All in all, a disc bursting with a beautiful energy ( Middle class ) or groovy at will ( It's so blue ) during which the trumpet player excels in the transmission of highs and other high-pitched and where the guitarist expresses the extent of his Early talent, supported by an irreproachable bassist and drummer as well as guests at their height. http://www.culturejazz.fr/spip.php?article405

Born in Ploeuc-sur-Lie (Côtes d'Armor) in November 1957 Eric Le Lann was introduced to the trumpet by his father, a dentist and amateur trumpet player. After high school, he decided to leave his native Britain in 1977 and moved to Paris where he became a professional musician. During the first months of this professional career, Eric Le Lann done recording sessions in the studio, accompanied by numerous entertainers like Bernard Lavilliers, the Gibson Brothers and Henri Salvador (in the big band of Eddy Louiss) and assiduously frequent jazz clubs. With over twenty years, the young trumpet player already has a strong musical personality that will lead to rapidly emerge in front of scenes of jazz: he won in 1979 the first national competition of Jazz Price of Defense (Paris).

In 1980, the reputation of Le Lann is growing and it is engaged in the quintet of pianist René Urtreger ribs of Jean-François Jenny-Clark (bass), Aldo Romano (drums) and Jean-Louis Chautemps (saxophones). René Urtreger (born 1934) is an accomplished musician, renowned, from the "American School" bop: he recorded with Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, Philly Joe Jones .. . experienced pianist, very demanding, he chooses his soloists with great taste, and it is through the front door Eric Le Lann integrates the middle of French jazz. The disc quintet Live Antibes is published in 1980 and gives a fair idea of ??the high quality of the group. In 1980 still, Eric Le Lann performs sixty dates with singer Henri Salvador, he will find twenty years later. The same year, bassist Henri Texier engages in his first quartet (which we find drummer Bernard Lubat, future creator of Uzeste festival). At that time enjoying a solid reputation, trumpeter gives in 1981 a series of concerts with the American saxophonist Pepper Adams, former member of Charles Mingus. It is also invited by the bass player Jacques Vidal and guitarist Frédéric Sylvestre in recording a disc, Vidal Sylvestre + 2 (with drummer Eric Dervieu). He recorded a few years later two discs with this remarkable duo. 1981 is the year when Eric Le Lann integrates Onztet bassist and conductor Patrice Caratini. He was also invited by pianist Martial Solal to integrate his big band, with whom he takes part in many European festivals (The Hague, Prague, Pori, Montreux, Berlin). Le Lann became the main soloist of the orchestra, the starting point of collaboration between the two men which still continues today. In 1982, Eric Le Lann presents his personal project, a quartet. He invited three exceptional musicians, but modern connoisseurs of tradition and history of jazz piano Olivier Hutman, Cesarius Alvim on bass and André Ceccarelli on drums. He published with this orchestra the disk Nightbird (1983), participated in the festival of European radio stations in Stockholm and wins Django Reinhardt awarded by the Academy of Jazz. The quartet has a flexibility, a sound and a remarkable unity. The music that is born is both very melodic and very rhythmic, and takes on a new dimension on stage. Far from fashions, rooted in the tradition of a nice jazz listening, swinging "American" quartet affirms immediately by maturity and respect, and stands out from most contemporary experiences of European scene  who seeks and monopolizes the press.More..Translate by Google http://www.ericlelann.com/fr/biography

French trumpeter Eric Le Lann has a bit part in Bertrand Tavernier's 1986 film Round Midnight, the story of a French jazz fan's friendship with wayward American jazz musician Dale Turner, played by tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon. Le Lann plays a French jazz trumpeter not much of a stretch. More to the point, the film's story mirrored, however approximately, an episode in his own life, in which Le Lann befriended the expatriate Chet Baker during the latter's troubled final decade. On I Remember Chet, Le Lann pays tribute to the older trumpeter, a quarter century after his death. The record features a cross section of tunes closely associated with Baker; the sole original, Le Lann's "Backtime," fits in well enough. Le Lann's playing would not likely be mistaken for Baker's, but the record makes clear his affinity for several key features of the late trumpeter's playing: particularly, a singing tone, a swinging sense of time and a certain tenderness. At the same time, Le Lann's playing is steely and more forthright than Baker's vulnerable sound. Le Lann favors the lower to middle portion of the trumpet's range. Most important, Le Lann is not in the least intimidated by Baker's mythic reputation, and he and his trio turn in a remarkably strong and satisfying performance.

The record's instrumentation is spare: trumpet accompanied only by Nelson Veras' acoustic guitar and Gildas Boclé's double bass. The Franco-Brazilian guitarist has an enigmatic style, never approaching a solo in a predictable way, never hewing too closely to the written melody but, at the same time, restrained and reverent. As a sideman on this project, Veras is excellent, maintaining a level of improvisational complexity that nicely complements Le Lann's directness. In fact, at times it sounds like Le Lann is encouraged by Veras' elliptical sensibility to develop solos that float a little more freely from the songs' melodic mooring.

Bassist Boclé, meanwhile, is essentially the sole rhythm instrument (Veras is particularly minimalist when he is not soloing, and on a particularly sunny "The Touch of Your Lips," he is absent altogether). Boclé provides a solid beat on what is, after all, a fairly swinging session.~Jeff Dayton-Johnson https://www.allaboutjazz.com/i-remember-chet-eric-le-lann-bee-jazz-review-by-jeff-dayton-johnson.php

One of the finest European jazz pianists of all time, Martial Solal (a unique stylist) has never received as much recognition in the U.S. as he deserves. Born in Algiers to French parents, Solal has been based in Paris since the late '40s. Although a modernist, he was flexible enough to record an album with Sidney Bechet in 1957 and make other records with Django Reinhardt, Don Byas, and Lucky Thompson. Solal has been primarily heard with his own trios through the years although he has recorded several notable albums with Lee Konitz. ~bio by Scott Yanow
