Un nouveau projet, un nouveau groupe, comme l’urgence de conjurer le sort d’une époque par- ticulière et regarder au loin, devant. Christophe LELOIL imagine l’OpenMindeD au gré des colla- borations fortes qui ponctuent une vie artistique foisonnante, et d’une direction musicale qui ne s’embarrasse pas de cases : la musique d’OpenMindeD brasse les sonorités et les influences, les compositeurs et les métriques, les gestes harmoniques et les tempi…Construit autour des manières guitaristiques uniques d’Andrew Sudhibhasilp, le répertoire bénéfi– cie du drumming magistral de Cedrick Bec et de l’inspiration profonde du bassiste Pierre Fenichel. Installé à Marseille depuis le début des années 2000 Christophe a eu l’occasion d’y construire des relations d’interplay uniques et profondes avec ces musiciens exceptionnels. Pour preuve Cedrick était le batteur du sextet ECHOES (l’album Ajmiséries en 2009 avait suscité l’enthousiasme et per- mis au groupe, incluant aussi Raphaël Imbert ou Thomas Savy, d’approfondir le répertoire original lors d’une belle tournée) ; Pierre est le bassiste du projet Les 4 vents (album éponyme en 2019 chez Laborie Jazz) dont les 4 membres (Fenichel, LeLoiL, Perrine Mansuy et Fred Pasqua) sont aussi tous compositeurs.La trompette virtuose de LeLoiL, qui promène sa sonorité ouatée dans le paysage jazzistique européen depuis quelques décennies (cf ses collaborations en bio) , s’offre dans ce contexte l’oc- casion d’un dialogue habité avec la voix diaphane de l’envoûtante chanteuse Julia Minkin. Tout dans les textes qu’elle écrit et porte invoque Chicago, sa ville d’origine et de cœur. C’est lors d’une série de concerts en trio avec Andrew que l’idée de croiser les timbres et les mots avec Julia est devenue évidente.Comme un collectif puissant et inspiré, chacun est ici compositeur, arrangeur, organisateur de sons, et propose des directions distinctes dans l’élaboration de la musique, contribuant à la va– riété des mélodies, des climats, pour une expérience magnétique.
