about

Pour son second disque, le trio FOX formé par Pierre Perchaud, Nicolas Moreaux et Jorge Rossy fait équipe avec le grand saxophoniste américain Chris Cheek et signe un album en forme de rêverie sur les racines entremêlées des musiques de la Louisiane, cette terre nourrie de culture française, berceau originel du jazz. Un disque canaille et délicat, terrestre et aérien, luxuriant et enchanteur, avec Vincent Peirani en invité exceptionnel.

For his second album, the FOX trio created by Pierre Perchaud, Nicolas Moreaux et Jorge Rossy team up with known American saxophone player Chris Cheek for an album in the shape of a reverie based on the roots of Louisiane music, a place infused with French culture, original cradle of jazz. A delicate and fun record, both earthly and airy, with Vincent Peirani as a guest.

Un projet lauréat du French American Jazz Exchange de la FACE Foundation.

Little Big
by Aaron Parks

Beautiful album. Absolutely no filler tracks, and every tune is a character that stands out. Perfectly combines scripted melody with inspired and well played solos. Aaron Parks is a storyteller, and every song on this album is a chapter in one epic tale. ianjworsomething

By A Little Light
by Matt Ulery

supported by 7 fans who also own “FOX + Chris Cheek: "Pelican Blues"”

"By A Little Light" is of the same class and perfection as "In The Ivory", released two years later. Matt Ulery's unique writing style is the constant in the varied pieces on this exceptional double album, and many of the first-class musicians performing on "In The Ivory" can be found here as well. I'm especially pleased to hear the magnificent voice of Grażyna Auguścik and the piano virtuosity of Rob Clearfield once again. My favorite track "Gone Like It Always Was" is not among those playable for free, so I recommend "To Lose Your Mind" as a representative sample. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
