David Sauzay (ts), Gaël Horellou (as), Laurent Courthaliac (p), Luigi Trussardi (b, piccolo bass), François Ricard (d).
Bassist Luigi Trussardi is one of these bassists. Europeans who have accompanied a whole world, including the biggest, American or European, in the world of clubs, standards and swing that remains at the heart of jazz practice. It is this experience, covering a few decades, that he brings to this new CD, dedicated to the compositions of Monk, Bud Powell and other boppers. This is how it helps to convey the great tradition of bebop to its young partners and the public.
To the remark of François Lacharme in the booklet - "While everything, in music, seems today to take the place of event, it is necessary to venture the path of the bebop "- one could answer that it is nevertheless a way that many borrow, even nowadays. But precisely, it is not necessarily the audacity we seek - here we admire the authenticity of this bebop, starting with the repertoire, of irreproachable taste, and continuing with the sound of the rhythm section, very "vintage." A repertoire music, but that did not take a wrinkle.
The instrumentation varies throughout the CD. Tenor David Sauzay is honored on four compositions, joined by the hot Gaël Horellou alto sax for two tracks, including a furious "Shawnuff". The trio Courthaliac / Trussardi / Ricard stands out on "Wee See" by Monk, "Hallucinations" by Bud Powell (who will be recognized as the "Budo" of the famous "Birth of the Cool" sessions by Miles Davis), and " Salute to the Band Box "by Gigi Gryce. Finally Trussardi, following the example of Ron Carter, plays the bow a bass piccolo, somewhere between the cello and the bass, on "Crepuscule With Nellie" and the superb "My Ship" by Kurt Weill, that we do not hear often enough Despite the solid work of the group on the other pieces, it's these two, where the themes are played simply, without solo, that I prefer.
