about

Passé par Boston et New York, ce saxophoniste inconnu au bataillon déboule sur la scène française avec une énergie renversante et un son d’alto qui emporte tout sur son passage. Ce drôle d’oiseau du sax signe avec « Escaping the Dark Side » un album intense et spirituel, avec Ambrose Akinmusire en invité exceptionnel. Attention, révélation !

After Boston and New York, the saxophonist known as PLUME has arrived on the Parisian jazz scene with astonishing energy and an alto sound that is sweeping everyone off their feet. This atypical and distinctive “bird” has made an intense and spiritual album that brings the mystique back to the very heart of jazz. With special guest Ambrose Akinmusire. Warning: revelation !

A beautiful phrasing, a very nuanced and distinctive play with a very pleasant personal sound . Both perfect musically and technically. Simply a worthy successor to tenor saxophonists as deeply regretted Michael Brecker. Highly recommended ! mili1
