| You can hear François Carrier's joy in this recording, using mouthpiece calls, interrupting a bass passage with a biting phrase, reacting to Avenel's use of the kalimba, or leading the three-way conversations between the musicians with wit and aplomb. His joy is communicative, and spreads to the ensemble sound. Michel Lambert - playing with time, timbre and intensity, never locked in a pattern - pushes the improvisations forward. As for Jean-Jacques Avenel, one would never guess the bass master is a guest here, but instead was always meant to play with Carrier and Lambert, since his huge sound, agile runs and unfailing imagination provide the perfect cement for the trio. |
ARTISTS Francois Carrier (alto and soprano saxophone); Michel Lambert (drums); Jean-Jacques Avenel (acoustic bass, sanza) |
