THE HARLEM SUITE (vinyl)

Description

" A MONUMENT OF EMOTION AND ELEGANCE " --- Jazz Magazine---." A Harlem Suite like a childhood dream... At least, that is the title Jacques Schwarz-Bart has chosen for his new album. The saxophonist will, in this instance, benefit from a dream cast 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 rather sacred music with its strictly musical codes, modes close to those of jazz, and irregular measures conducive to swing. Nourished by voices and words, this music touches us right in the heart. " --- TÉLÉRAMA ---." Raised in Guadeloupe in gwoka, biguine, and the Haitian tradition, saxophonist Jacques Schwarz-Bart is one of the leading and most innovative saxophonists. " --- FIP ---.
