World jazz in motion. Nguyên Lê's music is in constant change. Since over 30 years the French guitarist with Vietnamese roots combines jazz and worldmusic in a unique fashion. "Streams" continues this tradition, but unlike Lê's recent projects, with a stronger jazz-focus but nevertheless inspired by Indian and North African rhythms, Vietnamese melodies, oriental accents and un-heard, imaginary folk music.

Description du produit

Nguyên Lê créé les sons du futur à partir des racines du passé, un voyage musical intemporel et magnifique ! La seule constante de la carrière de Nguyên Lê est justement que son parcours évolue toujours. Ce musicien né et vivant à Paris s'est imposé comme une voix majeure en combinant, de manière passionnante et révolutionnaire, une myriade de musiques globales aux accents vietnamiens. Streams, son dernier opus, continue dans cette tradition en s'associant aux dispositions world de musiciens de grand talent : le batteur percussioniste américain John Hadfield, le bassiste canadien Chris Jennings, et le vibraphoniste français Illya Amar. Chaque titre de l'album Streams explore une écriture captivante et complexe. Mais la mélodie est toujours centrale, et c'est pourquoi les morceaux n'ont pas un son "mathématique"
