"Ecorchure" translates to a skin wound produced by a violent friction that removes or tears the superficial layers; here the French trio of Jean-Luc Petit on saxophones, Jeremy Baysse on electric guitar & gadgets, and Fabrice Favriou on drums, tear through three excoriating improvisations during a 2019 live concert at Ateliers Musicaux Syrinx, in Poitiers France.

Ecorchure translates to a skin wound produced by a violent friction that removes or tears the superficial layers; here the French trio of Jean-Luc Petit on saxophones, Jeremy Baysse on electric guitar & gadgets, and Fabrice Favriou on drums, tear through three excoriating improvisations during a 2019 live concert at Ateliers Musicaux Syrinx, in Poitiers France. The music is diverse, from driving free jazz to rich sonic environments, Baysse's complementing Petit's urgent cries or exploratory musing. Favriou drives the trio, laying back when needed to give space for aural environments, then guiding the band back to assertive playing. The second track, "Fibre", is the most experimental, using space and patience to develop unusual interplay of curious and fascinating character. The album ends with a tour de force of assertive playing, each player finding space for the other while demanding their own voice be heard. Fine work.
