    Livre CD - CHIMERES
Album review

    «Together with his bandmates, the saxophonist leads his menagerie of fantastical creatures through the nooks and crannies of an enchanted world where it’s a pleasure to wander; encountering an unlikely ‘Eléphon’—which adorns the cover of this live album—feels perfectly natural, devoid of any anxiety or grotesqueness. A gentle, delightful little escapade.»

    Citizen Jazz

    «More often hypnotic than anything else, the music challenges the listener through the richness of its interplay and its multifaceted approach to the subject matter. It unfolds in waves, with subtle peaks, and defies all the genres it touches upon. On listening, it captivates with its depth and boundlessness. An album by explorers who love to dig deep!»

  • Description

    With “Chimères”, the aesthete of musical crunch Romain Dugelay removes his fingers from the socket for an epic trio. After exploring the sound possibilities of his instrument with amplification and different additives, the saxophonist-composer goes back to the source… For this exploration mission for new imaginary worlds, he invites two high-flying associates: the trombonist Simon Girard and the pianist Anne Quillier.

    This three-headed hydra needs suitable space in order to multiply into eight fantastic creatures, eight syncretic musical pieces that invoke different musical genres… Inspired by Rama Taupia’s original graphic creations, the tracks evolve on the borders of the wide-open jazz – from cool to free – and chamber music… This mythological bestiary conceals some mixed energies, on a large spectrum between sweetness and bestiality.
