Etienne Manchon Trio at 38 Riv

After two EPs and two albums since 2018, Weird Life is a wordless ode to all the oddities of the life of touring musicians. While deeply exhilarating, this life is also filled with surprising routines and the sometimes quaintly unexpected. From an irritating advert at a freeway service station to a podcast episode on a train, via a weather report, Etienne Manchon Trio tell us about a daily life that can be the source of many fantasies.

After two EPs and two albums since 2018, Weird Life is a wordless ode to all the oddities of the life of touring musicians. While deeply exhilarating, this life is also filled with surprising routines and the sometimes quaintly unexpected. From an irritating advert at a freeway service station to a podcast episode on a train, via a weather report, Etienne Manchon Trio tell us about a daily life that can be the source of many fantasies. The three musicians dig deep into the progressive jazz that has forged their identity from the start, drawing their inspiration as much from the jazz of Bill Evans and Émile Parisien as from the alternative folk of Alice Phoebe Lou and the dreamy electronica of François de Roubaix.

Après deux EP et deux albums depuis 2018, Weird Life est une ode sans paroles à toutes les étrangetés de la vie des musiciens en tournée. Si elle est profondément exaltante, cette vie est également remplie de routines étonnantes et d’inattendus parfois pittoresques. D’une publicité énervante sur une aire d’autoroute à un épisode de podcast écouté dans un train, en passant par un bulletin météo, Etienne Manchon Trio nous conte un quotidien parfois source de nombreux fantasmes. Les trois musiciens creusent le sillon du jazz progressif qui forge leur identité depuis le début, prenant leurs inspirations autant du jazz de Bill Evans et Émile Parisien que de la folk alternative d’Alice Phoebe Lou et l’électronique rêveuse de François de Roubaix.
