Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Long sustained notes that vibrate lightly are embellished with modal shapes. The combination of timbres emitted by the tenor and the diversity provided by the electronics emit a sonic architecture which takes shape in three distinct pieces.

Daunik Lazro gives of himself, furiously, skillfully, responding and challenging Jean-Marc Foussat , focused on his shaping of lustrous textures. "Five minutes & four seconds" lets time pass between sonic reverberations, the minimalist connection emerges after two minutes. Moving from an exploratory periphery to an elaborate construction in "Twenty-six minutes & forty-six seconds" Daunik Lazro invests the material, ornamentations are prohibited to the detriment of continuous chords. The perpetually mutating clicking sounds that arise under the fingers of Jean-Marc Foussat provide a singular pleasure, one that gives the opportunity to appreciate the shared micro-tonalities. A microscopic fragment of "Lonely Woman" resurfaces on the tenor at nineteen minutes forty-five in an enchanting context. Suddenly, Daunik Lazro's incisive phrasing reveals multiple Aylerian ramifications which develop in the second part of the musical sequence. The improvisations are cradled by a psychoacoustic climate which finely amplifies the distortions. The finale, "Three minutes & nineteen seconds" develops a discourse where acoustic brilliance ingeniously merges with electronic reverberation.

Through their mutual stimulation, Jean-Marc Foussat and Daunik Lazro invest space-time and incorporate patterns with variable frequencies."-Mario Borroni, Citizen Jazz (translated by Google)

Artist Biographies

"Jean-Marc Foussat (born March 19, 1955 in Oran ) is a French composer and improvisational musician ( guitar, piano, live electronics ).

Since the mid-1970s, Foussat had belonged to groups such as Lézard Marçio, in which he contributed the sounds of concrete music with magnetic tapes. In 1981, he finished his first solo album, Abattage, which was released in 1983. In the ensemble Marteau Rouge (with the guitarist Jean-François Pauvros and the drummer Makoto Sato), he also collaborated with Evan Parker. Together with the saxophonist Sylvain Guérineau, he formed the duo Aliquid, which also appeared with Joe McPhee ( Quod, 2014). In addition to soloprograms, he also starred with Noël Akchoté / Roger Turner, Samuel Blaser, Émilie Lesbros, Jean-Luc Cappozzo, Sophie Agnel, Daunik Lazro and numerous other musicians, as well as the Fortuna 21 Octet of Raymond Boni and the department of education psychique on."

"The French saxophonist Daunik Lazro combines a tart, piercing tone with a quick mind and a flexible philosophy of music-making. His professional start was in bassist Saheb Sarbib's orchestra, a relationship he maintained through most of the '70s, which included three recordings. His first steps playing his own music involved a radical resizing of the cast on-stage, going from orchestra playing to solo saxophone concerts and duets. In the '80s, he busily played with many on the European improvised music scene, including bassist Jean Jacques Avenel, cellist Tristan Honsinger, violinist Carlos Zingaro, drummer Christian Rollet, and saxophonist Evan Parker, among others. In the mid-'80s, Lazro expanded his partnerships to include dance and theater projects, including work with the Company of the Chance.

He formed a particularly fine trio in 1987 with fellow saxophonist Michel Doneda and the brilliant ppercussionistLê Quan Ninh, playing at many of the major European festivals and also touring in Canada. Duets with the American free improviser Joe McPhee are a 1991 discographical highlight, during a period when Lazro also began playing viola. In 1993, he started his own orchestra as well as a quartet called Outlaws in Jazz with Jac Berrocal, Didier Levallet, and Dennis Charles. In 1995, he toured Europe in a triple-threat combination with both McPhee and Parker, and the former artist also joined him in a quartet the following year with the superb British contrabassist Paul Rogers. In the late '90s, he continued involvement with a series of orchestra projects, often as a guest soloist."
