Part IV

Description

Flamboyance and delicacy for this new album by the Kora Jazz Trio produced by Eric Legnini. Despite the obvious historical links between jazz and traditional African music, few projects succeed in merging these styles... A pioneer of the genre, the Kora Jazz Trio returns with a 6th album produced by the eclectic Eric Legnini. He enhances the compositions of pianist Abdoulaye Diabaté, as well as the very beautiful interpretations of the standards such as "Via Con me" by Paolo Conté, "Sodade" immortalized by Cesária Évora and "Moanin'" by the Jazz Messengers of Art Blakey. For this "Part IV" of the Kora Jazz Trio, the Kora has been entrusted to a regular at all musical encounters, Chérif Soumano (Dee Dee Bridgewater, Tiken Jah Fakoli, World Kora Trio...), and to beautify the repertoire, the vocals of Woz Kali, the double bass of Manu Marches, the percussion of Boris Caicedo, the balafon of Adama Condé, and the guitar of Hervé Morisot ("Sodade") are added according to the tracks.
