Sylvain Luc - Sylvain Luc by Renaud Letang (2020)

What prompted Sylvain Luc to immerse himself in the source of Letang? To mix his jazz, fundamentally free, with the director's pop arrangements that all the French variety pulls apart, from Manu Chao to Alain Souchon. When a six-string wizard, master of improv, meets a studio alchemist, one expects some nice surprises and a few negatives. "Joga bonito", marvel the Brazilian footballers. A good game, swing or samba, which is particularly fond of the Bayonne score dribbler, definitely out of time, for whom there are no forbidden games. Let's say it right off the bat: this is certainly Sylvain Luc's most innovative project, despite the reputation of never being where we expect it to be.
