about

En cette époque d’intenses déforestations nocives au climat, qu’il est réconfortant d’entendre la sonorité magnifiquement ‘boisée’ d’Evan Christopher ; un souffle bénéfique qui s’adapte aux changements climatiques, euh, pardon, aux changements de climats… musicaux salutaires de ce CD.

Et tout ça avec un son et un style différent du maître, thanks to the now famous « Christopher Sound ».

Evan a su s’entourer d’instrumentistes chevronnés et parfaitement soudés puisque trois d’entre eux forment les ‘Three Blind Mice’ (Malo, Félix et Sébastien).

Le dernier (Guillaume) à la batterie s’intègre tellement bien que cet opus aurait pu s’appeler « Evan Christopher et les Four Blind Mice rencontrent Sidney. »

Le résultat est étonnant, swinguant et rempli de surprises musicales particulièrement réjouissantes.

Je m’aperçois que je n’ai pas beaucoup parlé du chef d’orchestre. Je remarque ici un trait qui démarque Evan de Bechet : il ne profite pas de sa position de leader et se met souvent en retrait derrière la trompette, pour fournir des contrechants parfaitement adaptés au contexte de chaque morceau. Il ne prend pas beaucoup plus de solos que ses compagnons. On le sent attentif à la moindre des nuances, ne cédant pas à l’esbroufe potentielle du chef. Ce qui fait qu’on trouve dans ces interprétations un sens de la respiration, du bon tempo relax et de l’équilibre assez rares dans les productions actuelles.

Ça repose les neurones tout en flattant les oreilles !

Rarely is an album title so appropriate. Grab somebody you love, a couple of glasses of wine (or cups of cocoa) and cuddle on a soft rug in front of an open fire, whilt your ears and heart are massaged by this gentle soundtrack. Smooth jazz at its smoothest! peterbhawkins
