What I like about it: I like how little hints of a folk-jazz sound pop up from time to time, and how they accentuate the modern sound with something a bit rustic. I like how even the up-tempo pieces seem to beat with the heart of a ballad, as if the quintet Awake sees a love song everywhere they look. When the ensemble turns the heat up, I like how it’s never with the intention to burn, only to mesmerize.
Your album personnel: Romain Cuoq (tenor sax), Anthony Jambon (guitar), Leonardo Montana (piano), Florent Nisse (double bass), Nicolas Charlier (drums), and guests: Anne Sila, Bastien Picot (voice).
