GROOV’OTHEOSE (vinyl)

Description

Jazz, Groove, Hip-Hop – to categorize “Groov’othéose,” the new (and 6th studio album) from guitarist ALEX GRENIER, solely with these genres would be to limit its ambition. - - With the guitar always at the heart of the discussion, this new opus immerses us in a rich and refreshing universe. It is brimming with that bluesy feeling, a hallmark of the beanie-wearing guitarist. - - He is joined by pianist Mathieu Debordes (J. Lourau, Bojan Z…), Hervé Moquet on electric bass (Kwal, JL. Bergère), and Franck Durand behind the cymbals (T. Vaillot, F. Pernel…). - - Thus, with contagious good humor, the four musicians transport us sometimes to the edge of a simmering Latin jazz, sometimes into a more modern, London-inspired vibe. - - Listen to 'Modern Hype' and its thundering groove at the album's opening, which alone encapsulates all the energy the quartet can unleash.
