Abrazo

Description

The duo returns after the success of their first album "Belle Epoque" (over 10,000 sales). Abrazo. Embrace. Sometimes entwining with a dance partner, sometimes a fraternal hug. Is there a better image for the duo composed of accordionist Vincent Peirani and soprano saxophonist Emile Parisien? The two men have given more than 1000 concerts together over the past ten years, including over 600 as a duo. They met in 2010 in drummer Daniel Humair's quartet. It was during a concert in Korea with Humair that they also had the opportunity to play as a duo for the first time. Shortly after, at a French festival, they repeated the experience, forming what is probably one of the most extraordinary ensembles in European jazz. "Abrazo" is inspired not by the work of a composer but by an art form, a culture: tango, its elegance, its melancholy, and its rhythmic and melodic power. Something here sounds completely magical. It seems that the ingredients of this hypnotic potion could come from anywhere: traditional or modern jazz, free avant-garde, classical, folk, rock, electronic, new or ancient music.
