Jî Drû, a characterful flutist, inspired sideman, fiery bandleader for Push up! and Jî Mob, producer and arranger, today releases his first album under his own name, refined, expressive, and dreamlike: 'WESTERN'. A hybrid, crossbred jazz attuned to contemporary sounds, eternal groove, and suspended trances. For this project, we find the hypnotic sounds of Armel Dupas's piano, the enchanting voice of Sandra Nkaké, the inventive rhythms of Mathieu Penot accompanying the swirling flutes and the singing of Jî Drû. A modern, stripped-down jazz, full of poetry and revolt, for a quartet we won't stop talking about. "Western is a vibrant tale of intimate, dreamy poetic ballads, suspended trances, and rhythmic storms with a hypnotic groove.."--- FIP. ---" AN ESSENTIAL RECORD, FULL OF POETRY AND REVOLT." --- LES INROCKS. ---
