NE:X:T / David Laborier (Vinyle LP - Gatefold)

Description

Wes We Can - Step Right Up! - The Wait Is Over - Best Served Cold - Closeness - Pendulum - Baked Goods "David Laborier is certainly one of the best guitarists and composers of the new jazz generation. A member of the Luxembourg National Jazz Orchestra, this talented jazzman presents his new album, NE:X:T, which draws inspiration from both European and American jazz. The album confirms an undeniable level of excellence with a highly developed melodic sense and particular attention paid to every guitar sound on each track. This is David Laborier's 5th album under his own name, and one can only be equally amazed by the musicians who accompany him, all as gifted as David. NE:X:T takes listeners on a journey to the stylistic extremes of jazz, pushing the boundaries of a classic instrumentation consisting of Luxembourgish drummer Niels Engel, German bassist Sebastian 'Schlapbe' Flach, French saxophonist Pierre Cocq-Amman, Dutch trumpeter Marc Huynen, and Dutch trombonist Tim Daemen. Discussing the stylistic influences of this CD is almost impossible, even if the track 'Wes We Can' pays homage to jazz guitar legend Wes Montgomery, because above all, there is a unique vision, that of David Laborier, who plays and juggles with notes like a painter with his palette of colors, to reinvent worlds that draw from many stardust particles of contemporary musical history."
