The jazz revelation of the year, discovered on YouTube thanks to the hundreds of thousands of views of her voice and note-by-note interpretation of Coltrane's saxophone playing in "Giant Steps," transforms this virtuosic exercise into a prodigious manifesto of a free singer on her album "Pas de géant." Mixing explosive covers of French song standards ("Comment te dire adieu" by Gainsbourg, "Je me suis fait tout petit" by Georges Brassens, "Conne" by Brigitte Fontaine) and reinterpretations of classics like her open grave aria from Bach's "Goldberg Variations," or her sweet "House of Jade" sung in Portuguese, Camille Bertault offers a jewel that reflects her image: bold, passionate, free, sensitive, funny, and touching at the same time. She is accompanied on the record by Michael Leonhart (trumpet, bugle, arrangements, and production), Stéphane Guillaume (saxophone), Dan Tepfer (piano), Daniel Mille (accordion), Matthias Malher (trombone), Christophe Minck and Joe Sanders (bass), and Jeff Ballard (drums).
