Latest Reviews L’actu des chroniques
| Jazz |
Meajam – Utopia
Beyond the sheer beauty of their compositions, what continues to fascinate is the group’s cohesion. Everything they attempt seems to succeed. Meajam thinks big. Meajam sees far.
| Jazz |
Lisa Rich – Long As You’re Living
And now the dream has taken form—an album both subtle and rich, intimate yet expansive. While accessible to all, it holds within it the mark of true artistry.
| Country, Rockabilly |
GINGER St. JAMES – Told Ya
Imaginez Annie Lennox transportée dans les fifties (et enfin affranchie des synthés, colifichets et boîtes à rythme de son souteneur), pour se reconvertir en meneuse égrillarde de revue de saloons.
| Electro-Fusion, Trip Hop |
MÉANDRES – Lost Robot
Une expérience sonore puissamment immersive, où le vertige du funambule saisit parfois l’auditeur, entraîné dans un périple entre des mondes parallèles. Embarquement immédiat.
| Blues, Gospel |
AN DIAZ & YOKATTA BROTHERS – Komorebi In New Orleans
Voici déjà le quatrième album en sept ans. Quand les media spécialisés de notre Hexagone étriqué réaliseront-ils enfin le potentiel déjà flagrant de ce combo?
| Blues |
RONAN – Piece of Life
Nouvel opus de RONAN. Avec une voix bien grave qui racle les fonds de tiroirs cachés (qui vibre comme celle remplie de graviers de Calvin Russel) et un son de slide qui fait toujours un sacré effet.
| Jazz |
‘Joe’ Joseph Santa Maria & David Tranchina – Oblique Rhyme
It’s hard to avoid superlatives here. Everything about this record is deeply impressive poetic, emotional, even literary in its structure and intent. All that’s left to do is listen, admire, savor, absorb, and understand.
| Jazz |
Michael Waldrop – Native son
A bridge between Eastern Europe and the United States that’s precisely what composer and drummer Michael Waldrop sets out to create with his latest album. Native Son is a compelling and adventurous project.
| Jazz |
Yotam Silberstein – Standards Volume 2
Il y a à peine un an sortait le Volume 1 de ces superbes interprétations proposées par cet excellent guitariste qu’est Yotam Silberstein. Voici “Standards Vol.2”.
| Classique, Jazz |
TERENCE COLLIE – Elements
Pianiste, arrangeur et compositeur de jazz anglais, Terence Collie ravive la vogue pourtant réputée désuète du concept-album, en déclinant ses cinq parties en référence aux éléments naturels fondamentaux.
| Jazz |
Jordan VanHemert – Survival of the Fittest
In many ways, this album feels like a gift to life itself. There’s not a trace of bitterness or darkness here; instead, VanHemert smiles at the world through radiant compositions.
| Jazz |
Premazzi / Nasser Quartet – From What I Recall
This is a jazz of the city, one that feels like a kind of imaginary travelogue—notes jotted down from fleeting impressions, places, atmospheres.
| Jazz |
James Moody – 80 years young: Live at the Blue Note – March 26, 2005
A truly beautiful album, 80 Years Young is more than just a live recording it’s a celebration. To hear James Moody surrounded by fellow jazz luminaries is to be reminded why this music matters.
| Blues |
CISCO HERZHAFT – Roots & B4
Ni poor, ni lonesome, ni cowboy, Cisco Herzhaft démontre au contraire que le collectif ne dénature en rien l’individu, et sa musique est porteuse d’espérance.
| Jazz |
Igmar Thomas Revive Big Band – Like Tree It Throws
An album that is far more than the sum of its parts. It doesn’t merely sound like a big band recording it feels like a work of post-contemporary 21st-century jazz, constantly shape-shifting, fusing genres, reinventing form.
| Jazz manouche |
Rose Room – It’s Been A Long, Long Time
These musicians live and breathe their craft, with tireless dedication and a deep sense of cultural identity. It’s hard not to fall under the spell of this album.
| Blues |
RIT Hobo Blues
RIT Hobo Blues est auteur, compositeur, multi-instrumentiste, originaire des Alpes de Haute Provence et nous propose un album à découvrir de toute urgence!
| Jazz, Rock |
Phil Haynes Trio – Return to Electric
This may be one of the most surprising and quietly subversive albums of recent memory—the kind of record to guard jealously in your collection, and to bring out only in the company of true connoisseurs.
![Phil Haynes / Ben Mondler - Transition[s]](https://www.paris-move.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/a0367414578_10-270x270.jpg)
| Jazz moderne |
Phil Haynes / Ben Monder – Transition[s]
This is an album that asks for time, for contemplation, something increasingly rare in today’s world. These two master musicians invite us in through the front door.
| Jazz |
Shiri Zorn & George Muscatello – Looking For The Light
There’s beauty in the sound, beauty in the voice; a simplicity that turns luminous in the fragile complexity of a voice delicately framed. And what a voice it is.
| Jazz |
Jed Levy – Faces and Places
This is an album to put in the hands of anyone curious about jazz. It’s a bridge between classic and contemporary, between intellectual pursuit and emotional immediacy. It won’t alienate; it will invite.
| Jazz |
Joanie Pallatto and Bradley Parker-Sparrow – Song
In a time when vulgarity often dominates the cultural landscape, this album rises like a rare flower in the middle of a crowded garden. It sings. It breathes. It means something.
| Rock |
ROSENTHAL – Essais Libres
ROSENTHAL nous gratifie cette fois de l’équivalent des “Scoops 1, 2 & 3” de leur idole Pete Townshend, en livrant pas moins de 18 démos dûment finalisées de leurs expérimentations studio.
| Klezmer |
MARC CROFTS KLEZMER ENSEMBLE – Urban Myths
Ashkenaze et séfarade par sa mère (et anglais par son père), Marc Crofts s’est forgé une identité musicale dépassant ses origines, ce qui lui vaut de jouer avec des musiciens du monde entier, d’Istanbul jusqu’à Séville.
