Mountain Hendrix. For the climb, should borrow the most prestigious tracks, trying to browse faster, more sporting than the predecessors? Should we open a new passage that illuminates the work in a new light? Rémi Charmasson and his quintet favor a middle way, staying true to the particular condition of the left Seattle for composition, while sidelining the most famous plane its image, guitar hero. Certainly we hear on The Wind Cries Jimi few solos anthology - especially in "Wait Until Tomorrow" surge of energy saturated sublimated by the wah-wah effects and overlays. But the choice of repertoire makes it clear that the group prefers to focus on longer written pieces. We do not find here the "Hey Joe," "Wild Thing", "Purple Haze" and other "Red House" titles certainly true undergoing shock treatments at concerts Hendrix but harmonically more minimalist. The quintet has retained securities representing the essence of the composition hendrixienne and stressing its "pop", "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", "One Rainy Wish", "Little Wing" ... 

The harmonic digressions Perrine Mansuy contribute widely to reveal further write this wealth. In addition, arrangements highlight the pieces as songs, thanks to the interpretation of Laure Donnat truly inhabited by the texts she appropriates masterfully bypassing the melody and pushing far the art of rubato . We may be surprised to hear at the end of album, "People Get Ready" by Curtis Mayfield: the latter having had a significant influence on Hendrix, one will see a way to contextualize it in the sixties, instead of restrict it to a meteorite would have changed everything in less than four years. The long quote from "Hey Jude" at the end of "The Wind Cries Mary" is the same approach. The greatest success of The Wind Cries Jimi is make people want to listen to Hendrix. Not to prefer the original to the copy, but to rediscover the richness of a work sometimes masked by the excess of the purely guitar musician.
