{"product_id":"matthis-pascaud-hugh-coltman_night-trippin_2022_son","title":"Night Trippin'","description":"\"They call me Dr. John, the night tripper.\" As devoted admirers of the Louisiana pianist\/singer, Matthis Pascaud and Hugh Coltman decided to explore his sixties period with this new album, Night Trippin’, a fiery blend combining New Orleans folklore, the band's electric ambiance, and Hugh's smooth voice. In this gritty, mystical New Orleans, Dr. John was the Grand Zombie, hailing from a time when the streets didn't reek of concrete, when a legendary studio wasn't mistaken for a laundromat. Matthis Pascaud and Hugh Coltman are the latest victims—after Mick Jagger, the Beastie Boys, Beck, and Dan Auerbach—of the sorcerer with the raspy voice and elastic tongue, usually flanked by a naked dancer and a guy who slit chickens' throats on stage before drinking their blood! There, in a kitchen, surrounded by a large stack of records, Matthis and Hugh focused on Babylon and Gris-Gris, foundational acts of the Dr. John legend. Three years after the doctor put away his skulls and feathered costumes, how do you pick up the torch? The answer is in Night Trippin'. More than a tribute, it's a procession. Night Trippin' has guts. From afar, one might say it's rock, raw, and stripped-down. Closer up, one will encounter the bottleneck of an old Southern bluesman, the opiate dreams of a Jimi Hendrix, the flames of PJ Harvey or The Kills, and wide shots à la Ry Cooder. As the last notes of \"Guilded Splinters\" fade, one thinks that up there, Mac must have approved. Matthis Pascaud, Hugh Coltman, and their troupe have opened the door. Let them guide you along the bayou, let them make the dust fly and the spells work... Then, perhaps you'll end up like them: mystified and completely captivated. A Brit who became a Parisian by adoption, Hugh Coltman is a genuine lover of jazz, rock, and blues. A former member of The Hoax and Heez Bus, he signed with Sony Masterworks and followed up with an elegant crooner tribute in Shadows: Songs of Nat King Cole (2015), followed by Who’s Happy (2018), inspired by the big band atmosphere of New Orleans. These two albums have accumulated over 15 million streams on platforms and sold over 200,000 physical copies. The same year, he won the Victoire du Jazz in the \"Vocal Artist\" category. Both audacious, volcanic, and contemporary. His guitar playing combines his two main influences: rock for its sonic dimension and jazz for improvisation. His music, described as \"progressive jazz,\" breaks stylistic boundaries. Heard alongside numerous artists including Ellinoa, saxophonist Sophie Alour, and singer Ayo, he also performs abroad at venues like the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York, Centro Culturale Candiani in Italy, Womad Festival in England, and La Clef in France with singer Moonlight Benjamin.","brand":"MATTHIS PASCAUD \u0026 HUGH COLTMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55313153163608,"sku":null,"price":20220930.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0196587259617.jpg?v=1760395059","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/matthis-pascaud-hugh-coltman_night-trippin_2022_son","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
