Album of a free woman and an artist of her time, Joy Ascension a precious record that awakens our sensesFor her ambitious third album with a Coltrane-inspired title, Joy Ascension, Macha Gharibian embraces her role as pianist, singer, author, composer, arranger, director, and leader. Around her, two colorists who handle the notes like gouache, drummer Dré Pallemaerts and bassist Chris Jennings, plus two guests, Bert Joris who draws with his trumpet cool flashes reminiscent of Chet on the airy ballad The Woman I Am Longing To Be and Artyom Minasyan who reinforces with his duduk the hypnotic Sari Siroun Yar. Macha Gharibian's volcanic voice places her in the family of solar and inhabited vocalists, this very exclusive club that ranges from Nina Simone to Mélissa Laveaux.
