David Enhco - Horizons (2017) Hi-Res

David Enhco's Quartet is a lover of freedom, and while claiming to be jazz, gets away from its traditions and its frames. For it is not enough to be free to have assumed the influences of free jazz in Europe: freedom can not be locked in any canon. This adventurous album invites us to explore a freedom that is invented and renewed throughout the course.

There is the taste for risk: never take a structure for installed, but allow yourself the digression, the bifurcation, the surprise. It is also a way of saying music with a silversmith's imagination, far from the facilities that have proved their worth.

In the writing of the pieces - even though it is elaborated, sometimes virtuoso - the humility of ideas which know that play together will carry them further, elsewhere.

There is especially this game together. An art of musicians chambristes in which the solos emanate spontaneously from the collective, without ever dissociating from it.
A play like children can play: a paradoxical alchemy where lightness and gravity blend.

In the light of this paradox, the horizons of the Quartet of David Enhco do not allow themselves to be fully grasped, but they touch us; and seem an invitation to the listener to foresee the horizon of his own freedom.
