Alban Darche, Loïs Le Van - Lazy Afternoon (2024) [Hi-Res]

Who would agree to sign up without a rehearsal?
Which singer would agree to record without being able to reshoot or correct his voice?
Which saxophonist will take responsibility for each of his performances, each of his solos?
This way of performing is as old as jazz, but it's so transgressive these days.
This is where we find the essence of this music, which is often abandoned in favor of a more productive, pop approach.
Here, the musicians are on a knife edge, forced to listen very carefully to the others.
No one knows what will happen, the trust in the team is complete, and the love of freedom and the risk of the moment are palpable.
Perfection lies in imperfection, in everything that is most human, most sincere, most sensitive.

As the album cover tells us: will you be the third? ) One or another musician joins the two, so that the compositions are performed as a trio.
