{"product_id":"emile-parisien-quintet_sfumato_2016_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"Sfumato","description":"Emile Parisien (33 years old) has been collecting trophies and awards for a few years. In 2009, the year of his \"takeoff,\" he was Talent Jazz Sacem, Winner of Jazz Migration Afijma, and Jazz Primeur from the Ministry of Culture; in 2012 he received the Django Reinhardt Prize from the Academy of Jazz and finally, in 2014 he won a Victoire du Jazz? An impressive record. Highly sought after on the French scene as well as on the European scene, he juggles, with difficulty, a packed schedule to find \"slots\" compatible with his multifaceted commitments. In October 2014 in Toulouse, Emile met Joachim Kühn and the connection was immediate. When he invited the pianist to participate in the residency in Marciac, the response was immediately positive. \"This meeting is a logical continuation of my work with Daniel Humair and Jean-Paul Célea. They both have done many concerts with Kühn, from which they have dazzling memories. Kühn records on the same label as me and he told me he listened to and appreciated my album at ACT. With Daniel, we often play themes by Kühn. When we worked on the Yes Ornette project with Celea, he reminded me that Kühn is the only pianist who played with Ornette? This gave me the idea to propose this residency to him because our aesthetics are similar. A kind of post-free, channeled, organized, with a lot of energy.\" To complete the group, in a \"trans-generational\" approach (Kühn is 71 years old? and has incredible vitality), Emile chose Manu Codjia (40 years old), one of Daniel Humair's baby-boomers (he was his student in the jazz class at CNSM) who is also sought after from all sides to participate in numerous groups and projects. Plus an unprecedented rhythmic tandem: the double bassist Simon Tailleu (32 years old), also a graduate of CNSM, chosen for his solidity and groove, and the \"youngster,\" almost unknown in France, Mario Costa (29 years old), a Portuguese drummer with whom Emile has played and recorded in Portugal (CD Particula 2012 with Dominique Pifarély). In 4 days of intense and warm rehearsals, this surprising casting generated a creative, enthusiastic, joyful, and cohesive group. Each composition generates a great variety of atmospheres with beautiful alternations between written parts and improvisations. Parisien impresses not only with his technical virtuosity but also with a sound quality that is not so common among sopranists: ample, generous, warm, with some sound effects and other harmonics arranged with relevance. The quintet offers a beautiful illustration of the Humairian concept of \"controlled freedom.\" Ardonceau Pierre-Henri (blog Jazz Magazine).","brand":"Emile Parisien Quintet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57712789487960,"sku":null,"price":23480907.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/emile-parisien-quintet_sfumato_2016_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
