Interprétant des titres de leur dernier album « In Between » et une sélection d’anciens morceaux, ils ont offert 2h durant une prestation époustouflante dont je me souviendrai longtemps.
Paradoxalement ce qui m’a toujours le plus séduit chez Erik Truffaz n’est pas sa trompette magique mais sa section rythmique.
Marcello Giuliani, l'homme aux lignes de basses infernales et le génial batteur Marc Erbetta sont aussi à l’aise lorsqu’il s’agit d’envoyer un groove ravageur que lorsqu'il faut créer une atmosphère free-jazz. Fidèles à leurs habitudes ces deux-là ont déroulé hier soir un véritable tapis rouge rythmique sur lequel Truffaz a posé son subtil jeu de trompette.

Pour clôturer la soirée, la cover extra-groovy de "Je t'aime moi non plus" en clin d'oeil à Gainsbourg dont c'était l'anniversaire de la disparition fut la cerise sur un gâteau succulent.
Le quartet repasse par Paris en Novembre prochain, ne faites pas comme moi, n’attendez pas 10 ans pour y retourner !

Pour ceux qui ont des envies de nu-jazz, n'hésitez pas à jeter une oreille (voir deux) sur ma récente sélection/podcast "Jazz On Earth" consacrée à certains de mes artistes favoris de la scène jazz contemporaine.
It'd been almost 10 years since I last saw Erik Truffaz Quartet live.
At the time they had just released a couple of groundbreaking albums blurring the lines between jazz, groove and broken beats worlds ("The Dawn", "Bending New Corners"). Since then the band has become a cornerstone of the nu-jazz scene, consistently producing exciting new music integrating a wide range of musical influences. I was therefore particularly excited to go to La Cigale yesterday night for what turned out to be a breathtaking show.
Playing tracks from their latest LP "In Between" as well as several older compositions, alternating heavy groove with nu-jazz, the quartet offered 2 hours of pure happiness to a mesmerized audience.
The infernal rythmic section led by Marcello Guliani on bass and Marc Erbetta on drums set a perfect stage allowing Truffaz to display his inimitable trumpet sound. Add to this a heavy dose of Rhodes solos by Benoît Corboz, a subtle participation from the promising singer Anna Aaron for the "encore", a magnificent stage lightning and you get their recipe for a memorable live-music moment.
The groovy cover from Gainsbourg's legendary song "Je t'aime moi non plus" to end the gig was the icing on an already appetizing cake!
They'll be back at the end of the year in Paris and are currently touring in Europe so don't do like me, don't wait another 10 years to go and catch them live!
Please find above a small video from their live take of "Sweet Mercy", a track from the "Bending New Corners" album.

très belle soirée effectivement, le son toujours très épuré d'erik truffaz le tout avec une section rythmique (drums & bass) capable de créer une atmosphere nu-jazz reconnaissable et fort appréciable.
ReplyDeleteOn ne vient pas pour la prestation jazz d'erik truffaz (il joue beaucoup avec les silences et distille les notes avec parcimonie et élégance) mais pour l'ambiance fusion jazz-électro-groove.
PS: e t'emprunte une de tes photos en précisant ton blog - pas mon appareil ce soir là)
Sans pb Yannis elles sont là pour ça;) dis-moi juste sur quel site tu la mets que j'aille faire un tour
