The trumpeter daoud shakes up jazz with an "ok" as gentle as it is devastating.
With ok, his first album on ACT, French trumpeter daoud delivers an intimate and offbeat manifesto. Across 14 tracks, he explores the resigned acceptance of what cannot be changed, blending humor, melancholy, chaos, and tenderness.
Created in the studio with his close musicians, ok is a jazz album unlike any other. Enriched by meticulous production work and international guests (RosieFrater-Taylor, corto.alto, Ludivine Issambourg...), it weaves together jazz, hip-hop, rock, and even drum'n'bass as so many emotional textures.
Between sincerity and irony, fragility and playfulness, ok evokes that familiar tension of the "I'm fine" we say without really meaning it. A contrasting work, marked by a strong visual identity and a rare sense of musical storytelling.
