Jokers

Description

Jokers... Once again, Vincent Peirani reshuffles the cards of his music. As a good jazz musician, the accordionist loves to embark on unprecedented musical adventures. As a good music fan and a very good musician in general, he is curious, greedy, eager for discoveries and novelties, whether to listen to or play. First trio album in his discography, with Ziv Ravitz on drums and Federico Casagrande on guitar, Jokers goes even further, and elsewhere. What an album! The title Circus of Light reflects an aurora borealis on the waters of the Mediterranean, or sends Nino Rota into the Milky Way. River, a cover of a pop hit by Bishop Briggs, visits the songs of convicts from the Southern United States. Copy of A, a cover of Nine Inch Nails of which Peirani is a fan, evokes the joy of an extraterrestrial carnival parade. Until the final credits, an emotional thoughtful stroll in Italy, Jokers is guaranteed to have not a second of boredom. With its iconoclastic covers, its rock energy, its Italian-style tunes, its virtuosity, and its taste for risk, this record simply resembles Vincent Peirani: you never know where to expect him, but you are always happy to find him there.
