about

(EN) In the current landscape of young French jazz, Pj5 offers one of the most pertinent musical propositions. This is a group in the full meaning of the term, whose identity comes above all from a sound: a certain capacity to densify the derivative sound of death metal, with the shapes of contemplative contemporary chamber music, the borders of minimalism and folk, fuelled with their personal contemporary jazz sensibility and improvisations. A laureate of the ‘Jazz Migration’ program for upcoming talents, composed of five French musicians from the same generation, Pj5 releases a third album displaying a band striving for purity and nuance, energy and intensity in order to accomplish a music capable of moving from epic accents to the simplicity of jingles, from electric storms to delicate sound patterns. Echoing the mysteries and perils of existence, "I Told The Little Bird" resonates with a state of our world that oscillates magnificently between light and chaos, despair and hope, distortion and resolution. Featuring Swedish singer Isabel Sörling and Belgian improv wizard Jozef Dumoulin on the Fender Rhodes, an album in the shape of a sound odyssey.

(FR) Dans le paysage du jeune jazz français actuel, Pj5 n’offre pas la moins pertinente des propositions musicales. Ce groupe au sens plein du terme doit son identité avant tout à un son, qui combine ses couleurs pop-rock à sa culture de l’improvisation, capable d’allier une densité dérivée du death metal avec des formes de musiques de chambre contemplative, aux confins du minimalisme et de la folk, tout en développant sa sensibilité jazz ultra contemporaine. Lauréat du dispositif « Jazz Migration », constitué depuis plusieurs années par des musiciens de la même génération particulièrement soudés, Pj5 signe un troisième disque au déroulé cinétique, dont les accents épiques alternent avec la simplicité de ritournelles, les orages électriques avec de délicats tramages sonores. Pensé en écho aux mystères et aux périls de l’existence, « I Told The Little Bird » résonne d’un état du monde qui oscille magnifiquement entre lumière et chaos, désespérance et espoirs, distorsion et résolution. Avec la participation de la chanteuse Isabel Sorling et de Jozef Dumoulin au Fender Rhodes, un album en forme d’odyssée sonore.

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk
