THE HARLEM SUITE (vinyl)

Description

" A MONUMENT OF EMOTION AND ELEGANCE " --- Jazz Magazine---." A Harlem Suite like a childhood dream... At least that's the title Jacques Schwarz-Bart chose for his new album. The saxophonist will benefit from a dream cast for the occasion with the participation of Terri Lyne Carrington, Grégory Privat, Reggie Washington, Arnaud Dolmen, Stéphanie McKay, and Sullivan Fortner. This music is not black magic, more or less folkloric, but indeed sacred music with its strictly musical codes, its modes close to those of jazz, its irregular meters conducive to swing. Fed by voices and words, this music touches us deeply. " --- TÉLÉRAMA ---." Raised in Guadeloupe with gwoka, biguine and Haitian tradition, saxophonist Jacques Schwarz-Bart is one of the major and most innovative saxophonists. " --- FIP ---.
