Description
A skilled drummer with a strong command of polyrhythms and complex meters, Olivier Le Goas is also an accomplished composer with a gift for pleasing harmonies and memorable melodies.
The veteran French bandleader showcased his abundant gifts on 2016's acclaimed album Reciprocity, which was hailed in a 4-1/2 star Downbeat review for its "appealing sound that has one foot in chamber-like formalism while also exploring heightened realms of improvisation". Le Goas' follow-up, his sixth as a leader, stakes out similarly agreeable and dynamic musical territory; the kind that was favourably compared to the Pat Metheny Unity Group on his last outing. Returning from Reciprocity is rising star American guitarist Nir Felder, whose warm tone and fluid lines are a key component here alongside John Escreet's cascading piano work, Larry Grenadier's resounding bass lines and Le Goas' irrepressible presence behind the kit.
