First of all a surprise, let's face it: this meeting between the capital trumpet player, native Breton and the master bassist, Marseille by birth, has something to surprise illico, no? ... especially as, if we played at the blind, why not (the famous blindfold test that is practiced between friends to get trapped), it's well Miles Davis (as defined by Laurent Cugny in his book Electric Miles: 1968 - 1975 , editions Birdland 1993), which would come out winner from the first title ... and more with Spirit (well, in the spirit of?) ... well, lost, it's him Eric Le Lann, with well-stocked jazz, faithful partner of Martial Solal (their Portrait in black and white and the different formations of the pianist) ... and Jannick Top, Christian Vander's accomplice in Magma, then accompanist and musical director of various variety stars. "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
