Julien Alour 4tet, proposed by Jazz à Véd à Elie Martin Charrière/ Chivallon Simon/ Zelnik Jonathan/ Alour Julien After the mischievous Williwaw and the dynamic Cosmic dance, Julien Alour returns with an album with dark light tones. Light in the box emerges from the shadows, like a confined, contained and simmered idea, which is released, revealing new contrasts, volumes and textures. For this album, the composer wanted this time the trumpet alone and limpid, on themes with very marked melodies, wrapped by the Fender Rhodes (played by Simon Chivallon), decisive choice since quite rare in a recording of jazz quartet, a double bass «pillar» and grooving (Yoni Zelnik), and a pictorial and daring battery (Elie Martin Charrrière) bringing a modern and unexpected sound. We find the humor quite characteristic of the trumpeter’s playing that we had discovered in his first albums, but with a new and biting intensity, not agreed. In contrast to the generosity and melodic clarity, the harmony is more sinuous, dark, misty and the rhythm swaying and generous. 1st part: jazz workshop of the CRR Douai Tariff 15 € or 12 €, reservation at 03 20 31 90 50 with Jazz à Véd'à
