Western

Description

Refined, expressive, and dreamlike album. A mixed, hybrid jazz that listens to current sounds, eternal groove, and suspended trances. "Jî Drû, a characterful flutist, producer, and arranger, a fiery bandleader for Push Up! and Jî Mob, an inspired sideman, today releases his first album under his name, refined, expressive, and dreamlike: WESTERN. Western is breath, respiration. Western is a collective and individual epic, a struggle against our own demons. Western evokes individual initiative, shattered by the interests of a few. Western questions the intimate, what makes us hope, that momentum that transports us and makes us dream. Its setting is an empty space, full of movements of air and matter, of reverberation, a place where the light meets the heavy, the simple and the complex. Western is the sound of a flute. Western repeats itself infinitely. JÎ DRU: "I look at our world through the lens of the Western, a genre that explores the flaws of the soul and human behavior. Our time and Westerns have analogies. Our music brushes against the strange, revealing the specters and shadows of our contemporaries. This cinematic genre fascinates me in its form as much as it frightens me with the mythology it constructs. WESTERN is full of all these contradictions."
