Julien Alour Quartet at Théâtre Du Vésinet

The trumpet player Julien Alour will present his new album "Light in the box". For this album, the composer wanted this time the trumpet alone and clear, on themes with very marked melodies, wrapped by the Fender Rhodes (played by Simon Chivallon), a decisive choice since quite rare in a recording of jazz quartet, a "pillar" and groovy double bass (Yoni Zelnik), and a pictorial and daring drums (Elie Martin-Charrrière) bringing a modern and unexpected sound. We find again the characteristic humor of the trumpeter's playing that we discovered in his first albums, but with a new and biting intensity, not conventional. ...

Le trompettiste Julien Alour présentera son nouvel album « Light in the box » Pour cet album, le compositeur a voulu cette fois-ci la trompette seule et limpide, sur des thèmes aux mélodies très marquées, enveloppées par le Fender Rhodes (joué par Simon Chivallon), choix déterminant puisque assez rare dans un enregistrement de quartet jazz, une contrebasse « pilier » et groovante (Yoni Zelnik), et une batterie picturale et audacieuse (Elie Martin-Charrrière) apportant une sonorité moderne et inattendue. On retrouve l’humour assez caractéristique du jeu du trompettiste que l’on avait découvert dans ses premiers albums, mais avec une intensité nouvelle et mordante, non convenue.
