Bodies & Ideas

Description

"The spearhead of the new jazz/groove scene" (France Inter) In just a few years, saxophonist, composer, and producer Léon Phal has become one of the most exciting jazz musicians of his generation. Following the critically acclaimed album Stress Killer and a highly regarded collaborative EP with the famous DJ and electronic music producer Folamour, released just a few days ago, Léon announces the upcoming release of his new album, Bodies & Ideas, on September 25 via Heavenly Sweetness/Sony Masterworks. Bodies & Ideas is a fantastic contemporary jazz album blending groove, vocal neo-soul (featuring Italian singer Fabiana Martone on "Murmulea"), rap (with rising French rap star Jungle Jack on "Pleine forêt"), and, at times, electronic music ("UK Rain") — just as Léon knows how to do so well.
