about

A la tête d'un quartet de choc, le pianiste Laurent Coq et le saxophoniste Walter Smith III proposent une suite en dix mouvements écrites à quatre mains, portée par un souffle épique et un engagement musical de tous les instants, à l'image de son inspirateur.

At the head of a swinging quarter, the pianist Laurent Coq and the saxophoniste Walter Smith III offer a suite made up of ten mouvements written with four hands, carried by an epic breath and a musical engagement at each instant.

Projet lauréat du programme French American Jazz Exchange (FAJE).

* * * * "Une suite d'une belle musicalité, habitée par une haute idée du destin" — Jazz Magazine

« Ce jazz, comme son inspirateur, s’aventure dans les chemins de traverse, dépasse les compositions et les magnifie dans une synthèse de rigueur et d’improvisation. » — Jazz News / Sélection

« Cette musique même est une histoire ; construite avec science, chantée avec virtuosité, narrée avec une grâce simple. » — Djam

« Dix pièces d’une puissante cohésion. Quatre solistes hors pair sincèrement réunis, au-delà du symbole. » — Politis

« These are artists executing at the height of inventiveness—an emotive bowed bass line, fiery drum runs, and romantic themes. The quartet operates on an almost subliminal level executing the art of composition and improvisation. » — All About Jazz * * * * 1/2

"Cincuenta minutos de jazz a gran nivel" — Tomajazz

This quintet has acquired legendary status as a working unit...all the musicians are exemplary at their craft and DD is one of my 'Big5'...he is an exquisite composer of both depth and breadth of vision...you can instantly recognise Dave's DNA in a tune...what's more, you feel there is also so much more to come!;his powers of expression are so special.
