CUT-UP (vinyl)

Description

JULIEN DAÏAN QUINTET - LE TRUBLION DU JAZZ. Includes the voice of Serge GAINSBOURG on the track "Trop c'est trop". Troublemaker of jazz, a true alchemist of sound, Julien Daïan is back with a third album that is resolutely contemporary - a fascinating blend of influences and styles, at the crossroads of jazz and current music. Not to mention that sense of groove that pulses through each of these 10 new tracks. Julien Daïan tells us this record as he tells life, as he tells us music: in a series of melodic stories whose narrative style belongs only to him, visual, iterative, referential, and whose syncopated phrasing cuts and then compiles into a unique patchwork (a cut up?) the stories that are close to his heart, stories of the heart. We recognize his singular touch, direct and effective melodies, long-take pieces that follow one another like so many visions of a complex universe and the desire to carry the listener away, to the dance floor as well as to the window of a Greyhound bus. It is also the record of the one who had not said everything, because he had not finished living. It is the record of the one who embraces the richness of his experiences and of those around him and lets go of the reins of jazz, sound, and joy. The troublemaker is back. This time, he is relaxed." Le Julien Daïan Quintet offers a modern and bold vision of jazz ..." --- L'OBS. ---."
