Too short

Description

Fabien Mary continues to deploy his talents by extending them for the first time to the scale of a big band. Composed of about ten pieces, "Too Short" can be seen as one of the culminations of a musician who, for more than twenty years, has been passionate about jazz and has embraced this music in an astonishing blend of erudition and sensitivity. His writing seems to have absorbed all the techniques and effects that can give relief and colors to a big band, skillfully handling nuances, voice layering, and timbre bundles with precision. Rich in reminiscences, it maintains a connection to the clarity of lines and masks its formal sophistication under the constant drive of swing and the warmth of the ensemble.
