Alban Darche: Le Gros Cube #2

Read "Le Gros Cube #2" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

Questo suo ultimo lavoro, edito come d'uso su Yolk Music, non fa eccezione: diciotto elementi, big band che più classica non si potrebbe. Per una volta (almeno rispetto al passato) anche in quanto a linguaggio espressivo-espositivo, che si riconnette mani e piedi alla grande tradizione orchestrale, inserendo i soli, che ovviamente non mancano, sopra ...

Matthieu Donarier plays with the usual suspects on his second album, following on from Optic Topic which was highly praised by critics when released in 2004. This new live album, recorded at Saint Nazaire and Angers, France, testifies to the increasing intimacy between the three musicians who have been playing together since their school days. It is with this trio (despite his other bands with Daniel Humair, Alban Darche and Patrick Caratini) that Matthieu Donarier demonstrates his ...
