Recorded at jazz club Chez Ackenbush,Paris,3 rue Raymond Fassin - Malakoff.
"The Cuir group is an improvisational quintet that combines classical instrumentation: two trumpets, clarinet, piano and double bass. The group works an improvisation glued to the "free jazz", with the instrumentation superimposed on a permanent convulsion.
The group of John Cuny (piano), Jerome Fouquet (trumpet), Jean-Brice Godet (clarinet), Yoram Rosillio (bass) and Nicolas Souchal (trumpet) reveal a recording of a live performance "Chez Ackenbush" (Hence the title, of course), a song that lives in tension, confrontation and challenge. Do not expect from this sensitivity or restraint, but we find here a group of musicians always in high intensity. Highlight for the blows, which are interlacing, but also the piano, which is gaining prominence - especially the third theme, "Satch Ko"."-Fou
