Sébastien Paindestre, Amnesiac Quintet at La Mezzanine

If Radiohead fascinates many jazzmen, the Amnesiac Quartet is the first group whose music is entirely dedicated to it.Created in 2006 by pianist Sébastien Paindestre, this group offers a totally original and perfectly mastered rereading of titles from the albums of the English group led by Thom Yorke: long stretches of improvisation, sound textures close to the spirit of progressive rock British, a current and cosmopolitan aesthetic form the DNA of this contemporary jazz quartet.Respectful of the intensity of the original work and the strange climates of Radiohead, the Amnesiac Quartet brings a new color, with the exceptional voice of Clotilde Rullaud and the presence of Jean-Philippe Rykiel, great wizard of sounds and keyboards....

If Radiohead fascinates many jazzmen, the Amnesiac Quartet is the first group whose music is entirely dedicated to it.Created in 2006 by pianist Sébastien Paindestre, this group offers a totally original and perfectly mastered rereading of titles from the albums of the English group led by Thom Yorke: long stretches of improvisation, sound textures close to the spirit of progressive rock British, a current and cosmopolitan aesthetic form the DNA of this contemporary jazz quartet.Respectful of the intensity of the original work and the strange climates of Radiohead, the Amnesiac Quartet brings a new color, with the exceptional voice of Clotilde Rullaud and the presence of Jean-Philippe Rykiel, great wizard of sounds and keyboards.

Si Radiohead fascine de nombreux jazzmen, l’Amnesiac Quartet est le premier groupe dont la musique lui est entièrement dédiée.Créée en 2006 par le pianiste Sébastien Paindestre, cette formation propose une relecture totalement originale et parfaitement maîtrisée de titres issus des albums du groupe anglais emmené par Thom Yorke : de longues plages d’improvisation, des textures sonores proches de l’esprit du rock progressif britannique, une esthétique actuelle et cosmopolite forment l’ADN de ce quartet de jazz contemporain.Respectueux de l’intensité de l’œuvre originale et des climats étranges de Radiohead, l’Amnesiac Quartet apporte une nouvelle couleur, avec la voix exceptionnelle de Clotilde Rullaud et la présence de Jean-Philippe Rykiel, grand sorcier des sons et des claviers.
