What I like about it: This recording displays a masterful balance between simmering tension and explosive volatility, and I like how the tonal and emotional shifts it incites resonate like mad. I like how this music barely maintains its structure at times, and then suddenly dives deep into a melodic inspiration, thereby giving sharp definition to everything in that moment and all that has passed.
Your album personnel: Paul Jarret (guitar), Maxence Ravelomanantsoa (tenor sax), Léo Pellet (trombone), Alexandre Perrot (double bass), Ariel Tessier (drums), Isabel Sörling (voice) and Jozef Dumoulin (Fender rhodes).
