Géraldine Laurent Trio "Looking For Parker"

While respecting the music of the mythical saxophonist, the very choice of orchestration, without double bass, already implies a distance, a particular positioning. It’s all the melodic richness of Bird’s work that slides here between the expressive rhythm of Christophe Marguet, the colorful, tense riffs of Manu Codjia and the lively, fiery phrasing of Géraldine Laurent. The tribute paid to him is a perfect success, an inspired, modern, sensitive rereading.
