Bruno Thieblemont Group: Septieme couleur

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
November 9, 2007

Bruno Thieblemont is a classically trained musician, having studied the oboe and percussion, and played with various chamber music and orchestral ensembles in France. He's led a double musical life, though, playing jazz vibes and forming his own quintet in 2006. The quintet's début is Septième couleur.On balance, the album hews a middle path between rigorous intellectualism--the kind of music you admire more than you dig--and warm soulfulness, although the balance is ultimately skewed toward the brainier side.
