Autour de Chet

Description

A new generation of artists is reclaiming the standards magnified by Chet Baker. They are joined by the 4 most influential jazz trumpeters from the French scene (Stephane Belmondo, Erik Truffaz, Airelles Besson, Luca Aquino). Yael Naim, Hugh Coltman, Charles Pasi, Sandra Nkaké, Ibeyi, Camelia Jordana, Elodie Frégé, Piers Faccini, José James, Rosemary Standley, Benjamin Biolay, Erik Truffaz... Produced by Clément Ducol (with musicians Bojan Z (piano), Cyril Atef (drums), Christophe Minck (bass) and Pierre-François Dufour (drums/cello)), already at the helm of "Autour de Nina", dedicated last year to the great priestess of soul and blues, Nina Simone, this album is filled with strong, unique moments, as if everything that touched the one recognized by the mention of his simple first name, Chet, remained above all in the collective unconscious synonymous with a raw expressionism, with flaws and breaks, on the surface. An album in the image of its inspirer, where the essential is at the center of the game, a palpable emotion, the common denominator of these ten chosen moments.
