Christian Pruvost: Ipteravox
by Eyal Hareuveni
Within the small cult of trumpeters who reinvent the sonic range of the trumpet-beginning with the late Bill Dixon, continuing with Americans Nate Wooley and Peter Evans, Europeans Franz Hautzinger and Birgit Uhler and Lebanese Mazen Kerbaj-underrated French trumpeter Christian Pruvost (a member of the Muzzix musicians collective based in Lille)) is still a rare bird. ...
TOC: You Can Dance (If You Want)
by Eyal Hareuveni
The French trio TOC--part of the musicians collective Muzzix in Lille, breaks all the rules and musical barriers on this, its second release, same as it did on its debut, Le Gorille (Circum Disc, 2009). These three skilled improvisers move freely between contemporary music, experimental pop, art and psychedelic rock, noise and fiery jazz with reckless ...

This French quintet--part of the musicians collective Muzzix, in Lille, and known before as Impression--presents current European jazz at its best.

Vazytouille: Vazytouille
by Mark F. Turner
Vazytouille is a sonic menagerie similar to experiencing Cirque du Soleil. This debut is envisioned by a large ensemble comprised of members from Zoone Libre, a collective of performance musicians, and other artists based in Lille, France.

Quartet Base: Allo ?
by Henry Smith
Pulling from a number of musical outlets, Quartet Base--part of the exciting French Circum collective--voids genre delineations on this, its first offering. Largely stemming from its unique instrumental line-up, including guitarist Sebastien Beaumont, trumpet and vocalist Christophe Motury, bassist Nicolas Mahieux and drummer Peter Orins, the group is able to find the common ground between, at ...
Quartet Base: Allo ?
by Mark F. Turner
Quartet Base is a free jazz chameleon. Viewing the group from multiple angles reveals different perspectives, each quite fascinating. Funk, rock, club, traditional, avant-garde and experimentation are like rapidly changing colors and contours of the group's changing skin. This ability is understood as the members are comprised of the Circum collective, a group of jazz musicians ...

La Grande Perezade: Urban Bush
by Henry Smith
La Grande Perezade is a “mini big band" outfit comprised largely of French jazz and improvisational figures, though “big band" does not begin to describe the sounds within Urban Bush. Conductor and writer jean-Baptiste Perez's compositions stroke broadly across genres as diverse as anthemic fusion rock, free jazz blowouts and brief horn duets without ever losing ...
