"SUMMER RECORD, WITH WINDOWS WIDE OPEN. A RECORD TO TASTE THE SIMPLE JOY OF BEING ALIVE." --- TÉLÉRAMA ---.THE NEW PROJECT BY SAXOPHONIST LAURENT BARDAINNE, P O N I H O A X , L I M O U S I N E , SUPERSONIC - THOMAS DE POURQUERY, LOST (WITH CAMELIA JORDANA...Its flanks beaten by grooves from 70s soul, expressly to join Laurent Bardainne, Le Tigre began to play with the percussion, to pounce on them before they could tease it. To purr on the downy keys of the Hammond organ, to glide over its soul-jazz tinted layers which, when the rhythm of its run slowed, transformed into oases in which to lap." The time of lockdown, inevitably, proved conducive to the appearance of strange beasts. What might a freshwater tiger look like? This album offers a few possible definitions: "Félin méchant", "Bachibouzouk" or "Apaches", unless "Everlasting Child" says it all, for it is this childlike, playful and joyful dimension that first strikes you when listening to the aptly named "Love Is Everywhere". Laurent Bardainne, co-leader of Poni Hoax, then member of Limousine and Thomas de Pourquery's Supersonic, has a penchant for steamy atmospheres, raspy torrid sax solos, congas and Hammond organs of vintage funk. To the jazz lover used to following complex harmonic grids, his music may seem easy. But it touches on an essential that a million notes might miss. A sensitivity to a super-8 imaginary, nostalgia for suns, dances and pleasures which, on occasion, can swell with incredible fervor - Kinshasa will effortlessly transform your living room into a dance floor. At other moments, languor prevails, the languor of great heat and persistent thirst. It's a summer record, with windows wide open. A record to taste the simple joy of being alive.

A POWERFUL AND GROOVY JAZZ-POP " --- JAZZ MAGAZINE---.The saxophonist unveils a new track from his album ' Love Is Everywhere ', a pure gem of spiritual jazz with an ecstatic groove.Like his accomplice Thomas de Pourquery, Laurent Bardainne is one of those traveling, free saxophonists exploring with the same impetuosity the tumultuous oceans of jazz, rock, electro or hip hop, while excelling in the subtle art of melody. Co-founder of indie rock band Poni Hoax and Limousine, half of the electro duo Sabrina & Samantha or accomplice of Camélia Jordana on Lost, the time had come for the Tenor to return to his first loves.With his jazz project, Tigre d'Eau Douce, the artist had already conquered festivals like Banlieues Bleues and Jazz à La Villette, then released his EP Marvin. All that was missing was this long format, Love Is Everywhere, a contemporary soul jazz epic.The entire spirit of the Tigre d'eau douce project hovers over the track " Apaches ", a pure gem of spiritual jazz where a poetic melody and a groove that is dreamy at first then becomes tempestuous reign, carried by the rhythmic cavalcade of drummer Philippe Gleizes, bassist Sylvain Daniel and Guadeloupean percussionist Roger Raspail. Arnaud Roulin's churchy Hammond organ also progressively unfolds its groove while Laurent Bardainne, like Gato Barbieri, alternates lyricism and powerful free choruses.
