Florent Nisse - Aux Mages (2014)

The bassist lyonnais Florent Nisse offers us his first album as a leader with a background in quintet (Chris Cheek on saxophone, Maxime Sanchez on piano, Jakob Bro on guitar, and Gautier Garrigue on drums). A disk extremely melodious, an incredible lightness marked by the strong influence of the tenor saxophonist, the american Chris Cheek. A quintet balanced where each musician finds his place for our greatest pleasure. "The Magi ", is it not for Charlie Hadden who passed away on the 11th of July ? In any case, this is not his shadow that hovers on the disk but rather the light that illuminates it. Very beautiful jazz and a test perfectly transformed, with the hope that the quintet will perform in festivals in 2015.
