The debut album from this band from France.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, saxophone and trumpet.
This band has released two studio albums and one live album. The last studio album back in 2021 and the live album one year later.
This one hour long album starts out as an avant-garde album and my heart sunk a bit. One hour with avant-garde music with some mental weirdo saxophones is not high on my list of what I like on a cold day in February. Not on a warm day in July either, truth to be told.
Then this album changes tones and becomes a more classic jazz album. I can live with that on a cold day in February... or a warm day in July.
The proper jazz kicks in after ten minutes and we get some really charming, interesting jazz from there on and to the end of the album.
Yes, there are some more avant-garde here but the pieces of jazz is really groovy at times.
At best, this is a pretty good album. The first ten minutes is at times pretty dire and not something that I will remember with any fondness, even after some listening sessions.
Those into obscure jazz albums should check out this album and indeed.. band.
This is a decent album but nothing more than that.
