Jam Session Du Lundi De François Constantin

The essentials of the global Jazz Fusion scene of yesterday, today and tomorrow: Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, Snarky Puppy... by a team of outstanding musicians Jazz fusion is first and foremost jazz rock, a style emerging at the end of the 60s with a peak of activity and creation between the end of the 70's and the beginning of the 80s. It is in fact Miles Davis who started this trend. We must put ourselves in context: at the beginning of the 1960s, jazz had already written the most beautiful pages of its history and was at its peak. He is omnipresent; in cinema, radio, dance halls, bars. Bassist and composer, Benjamin Asnar draws the basis of his aesthetic from the many world cultures that surround him, mixing it quite naturally with his traditional jazz influences. The recipe for eclectic and energetic music!nHe surrounds himself with Lucas Belkhiri, a classically trained pianist who understands jazz by bringing new ideas and textures, as well as Francesco Marzetti, a drummer with a sulphurous groove gifted with a deep knowledge of Mediterranean music ranging from Gnawa music to flamenco, and jazz. This trio infuses music anchored in the roots of jazz, surprisingly light and airy which, from Kaddish at the opening to Gaby which closes this beautiful album, grooves at all costs."
