On Living Being II: Night Walker, French accordionist Vincent Peirani reassembles the lineup from 2015’s original Living Being, juxtaposing the reedy, intimate sound of his instrument and Emile Parisien’s soprano saxophone with the electric haze of Tony Paeleman’s Rhodes piano and keyboards. With Julien Herné on electric bass and guitar, and Yoann Serra on drums, the group assumes an identity somewhere between a rock band, a jazz combo, and a chamber ensemble. Peirani’s writing for this tight, unorthodox unit can be as delicate as “Falling” or as startlingly intricate as “Le clown sauveur de la fête foraine.” He also reinterprets music by Henry Purcell (“What Power Art Thou”), Sonny Bono (“Bang Bang”), and Led Zeppelin (the highly effective “Kashmir to Heaven” suite). Valentin Liechti’s electronics on “Smoke & Mirrors” provide an ideal surprise to close out the set. ~ Editors' Notes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/living-being-ii-night-walker/1405224136

The eleven poetic themes proposed here by accordionist Vincent Peirani in collaboration with saxophonist Vincent Lê Quang and, here and there, the remarkable guitarist Sylvain Luc , is a luminous testimony of wandering and friendship. The all-out opening to free music as the air allows them to run sometimes under the feverish light of flickering lanterns of a nostalgic musette ("Truc'Muche", which opens the album), sometimes looking for a Balinese melody gleaned by a heart exalted by the journey. This is the case of "Gunung Sebatu", which gives its title to this album; this beautiful and tender evocation of Sebatu - a Bali village between sea and rice field - allows Serena Fisseau to gently stir the sensitivity of a skin-deep theme. This delicacy of the compositions and their nomadic membership to fantasized landscapes imbue the disc with a subtle essence. The spontaneity and the diversity of the themes were forged in the intimist improvisations behind the scenes, without virtuosity misplaced but with an obvious jubilation, in the periods of waiting, in particular at the time of the bel Air Libre of Muvien, Céléa and Humair ... It is these encounters, and the notion of exchange attached to it, that found this "world" music in the sense that it travels freely, without contingencies. There is in Gunung Sebatu all the poetry of the stolen moments to see the fluffy atmosphere of the "Ballad in D flat", which allows to appreciate the depth of the sound of Lê Quang to the soprano, or the mischief almost childish d "Wavy Anatas", when Peirani and his saxophonist play hide-and-seek in a frenzied pursuit with rhythm. A rhythm that we find at the corner of a dilettante visit in the Indian modes and cycles on the beautiful "Untitled Suite". Drunk with travel and contrasting colors, Gunung Sebatu offers itself a few suspended moments of wandering poetry, letting go that take you into the universe of two accomplices, who take an undeniable pleasure to give the keys. A delightful crossing without compass. (Translate by Google) https://www.citizenjazz.com/Vincent-Peirani,3463878.html
