Violinist and composer Henrik André presents "Stormy Ride", his 1st album of original compositions. A repertoire specially arranged for an unusual instrumental formation, a quintet with electric violin and transverse flute.

The jazz on this new album is a blend of groove and hard bop, with occasional hints of Andalusia and Latin America, where Henrik lived for a time, as well as Eastern Europe. Throughout this journey, sometimes stormy, sometimes luminous, Henrik André transcribes in this authentic and singular album the range of his musical influences and the emotions associated with them.

To bring this sensitive, strong, sincere music to life, leaving room for the creativity of each of the five musicians in the group, Henrik André has surrounded himself with the young, talented generation of pianist Irina Leach and Mediterranean-sounding flautist Arthur Tanguy, and a formidable rhythm section provided by Rémy Hervo on electric bass and Guillaume Dommartin on drums.

Le violoniste et compositeur Henrik André présente « Stormy Ride », son 1er album de compositions originales. Un répertoire spécialement arrangé pour une formation instrumentale peu commune, un quintet avec violon électrique et flûte traversière.

Du jazz actuel et métissé allant du groove au hard bop d’où émergent çà et là des sonorités d’Andalousie et d’Amérique latine où Henrik a vécu un temps, ou encore d’Europe de l’Est. Tout au long de ce voyage tantôt orageux, tantôt lumineux, Henrik André retranscrit dans cet album authentique et singulier l’éventail de ses influences musicales et des émotions qui s’y rattachent.

Pour concrétiser cette musique sensible, forte, sincère et laissant place à la créativité de chacun des cinq musiciens du groupe, Henrik André s’est entouré de la jeune et talentueuse génération avec la pianiste Irina Leach et le flûtiste aux sonorités méditerranéennes Arthur Tanguy, et d’une redoutable section rythmique assurée par Rémy Hervo à la basse électrique et Guillaume Dommartin à la batterie.
