This Way Please is a project that brings together exceptional musicians! FABIEN MARY. DAVID SAUZAY. FRANK BASIL. LUIGI GRASSO. JERRY EDWARDS, NIHOLAS THOMAS. LAURENT MARODE. FABIEN MARCOZ. MOURAD BENHAMMOU. This configuration allows Laurent Marode to use a prior arrangement techniques far apart from each other: the Big Band but also those of the great quintets and sextets of the history of jazz, as well as techniques related to classical music.

Passionate about film music and beautiful melodies, the compositions and selected pieces awaken and rehabilitate a forgotten jazz: popular, dreamlike and unifying, far from the elitist shackles of complex compositions intended for the discerning ears or the jazz ambulatory of fanfare. In this intermediate space of creation, This Way Please brings back to life a universalising jazz, demanding and offers a vast playground dedicated to the tribute and the creation.

Wendy Lee Taylor (voc), Pierre Christophe (p), Luigi Trussardi (b), Mourad Benhammou (dm), Cindy Taylor (vib, perc), Fabien Mary (tp), Pierrick Pedron (as), David Sauzay (ts, fl), Xavier Richardeau (bs), Michael Joussein (tb), Laurent Colombani (arr), Michel Delage (arr) Recorded in February 2008, Paris Duration : 56’ 38’’ Safety Records 201002 (Intégral)

Australian singer and dancer Wendy Lee Taylor has trodden a singular path; following an international career in musical theatre, a stint as one the famous Bluebell girls at the Lido de Paris, founding a vocal trio (The Jazzberries), she returned to musical comedy (1999 ‘Lautrec’ written by Charles Aznvour and created for the Shaftesbury Theatre in London) before finally recording her first album “Let’s Do It” (2005) She continues a career encompassing her two fundamentals, dance and singing. ‘All You Have To Do’ is an album recorded some time ago but only recently released, successfully ambitious, as the profusion of horns convivially marries with an absence of pretention.

It’s an album of standards, the majority with a sentimental mood, sung with enthusiasm and lifted by a luxurious staging: counter melodies of flute and muted trumpet on “After you who?” the excellent intro of “Plus je t’embrasse”, the atmosphere of an Art-House Film on “All you have to do”. This sentimental style without soppiness or lament suits Wendy Lee Taylor well and, in a spirit slightly “west-coast be-bop” (Teach me tonight) lets her joy take flight with power and sensitivity. It’s true that’s she has the advantage of a veritable “all-star” of today’s French be-boppers, musicians who illuminated the Franc Pinot in its prime and who distinguish themselves constantly with their own groups: Mourad Benhammou, Fabien Mary, Pierrick Pedron, David Sauzay, Xavier Richardeau, Pierre Christophe, Michael Joussein, are all impeccable and bring a beautiful momentum to the recording, not forgetting the regrettably deceased Luigi Trussardi (29th April 2010). A lovely album: simultaneously rich and simple, classic yet intimate. ~Jean Szlamowicz
