From the intro of "Eternal Thursday" opening track of mages For this, the tone of the record is given. The first album as a leader Florent Nisse offers us an intimate and nocturnal music, like his beautiful cover. The saxophonist Chris Cheek entrance in the middle of the song is similar to the vision of the first rays of the sun after a sleepless night. Disturbing despite its dazzling beauty, overwhelming, but oddly, carrying a promise of hope grandeur.

This music is also the testimony of an encounter. The encounter between three young French musicians (pianist Maxime Sanchez, bassist and drummer Florent Nisse Gautier Garrigue) and two American sizes (Chris Cheek on tenor saxophone and Jakob Bro on guitar). And, as you can realize fast enough, Chris Cheek and Jakob Bro are not there by chance. If the saxophonist and guitarist are here as mentors, Sanchez, Nisse Garrigue and we prove that they do have the maturity to tu both American and install them with this equal equal relationship without which the disc was was a failure.

The quintet formation Tenor-Bass Guitar, Piano, Drums is very fashionable these last time. However, this group differs quite remarkably. And for good reason: if a shadow seems to hang on this record is that of the legendary drummer Paul Motian. The big sound of Chris Cheek and air guitar Jakob Bro were key elements of his "Electric Be-Bop Band," while there in the 90s Is that why Gautier Garrigue seems fully assume the heritage drummer throughout the album? In any case, who had been very good in recent disc Bounce Trio Matthew Marthouret, here is simply regal. Rhythmic tandem he forms with Florent Nisse is one of the most effective in France now, a real Rolls Royce. It is not surprising when one considers that the two friends interact together in many projects, the quartet of David Enhco the "Flash Pig" group, where there are Maxime Sanchez on piano.

We have here to deal with a music of the great outdoors. Music where silence between the notes makes sense. Music that breathes. Music where lyricism and simplicity alongside. Also, the auditor must be warned: it must be ready to listen to musicians play. And that's the whole point of this song. Each musician waiting for the right moment to do the right notes in the right place. So you have to dive into this disc listening listening, waiting, this tension. In a word, this interaction.
