Description
Exciting release from French clarinettist Louis Sclavis, that sits somewhere between jazz and rock and with gates open to contemporary composition and folklore as well.
A new year, a new Sclavis quintet - this one born out of the wish to continue the work begun back in 2005 with "L'imparfait des langues" - and retaining guitarist Delpierre and drummer Merville from that project - and to invent new musics in which to lose oneself. To uncover fragments of memory by chance, while chiselling at new ideas.
Track titles allude to the voyages of Ulysses. Sclavis: "I wanted to travel somewhere unknown, letting myself be blown from Scylla to Charybdis by mastering the winds and the torrents of return to re-evoke a history" - along the way looking at aspects of jazz, rock and modern composition from unfamiliar perspectives.
Louis Sclavis is one of the most influential musicians in European jazz today, widely recognised as a masterful jazz composer and arranger, and regarded by many critics to be amongst the most creative clarinettists in jazz today. He has won many major awards for his work, including the Grand Prix National de la Musique (awarded by the French Ministry of Culture), the "Django d'Or", and the MIDEM Jazz Award. He has been an ECM recording artist since 1991.
Personnel: Louis Sclavis (clarinets, soprano saxophone), Matthieu Metzger (soprano and alto saxophones), Maxime Delpierre (guitar), Olivier LÚtÚ (bass), Franþois Merville (drums)
