Erik Truffaz Quartet feat. Rokia Traoré - Jazz á la Villette
Erik Truffaz Quartet feat. Rokia Traoré; Erik Truffaz, trumpet; Rokia Traoré, song; Benoît Corboz, claviers; Marcello Giuliani, bass; Arthur Hnatek, drum kit; Is it still necessary to present him? A Slender figure, straight hair with a white beard, Erik Truffaz has marked the history of European jazz with at least two albums: The Dawn and Bending New Corners. Hip-hop, jungle rhythms and a timbre similar to that of Miles Davis: a cocktail that you just can't get enough of. The Swiss trumpet player, who has often taken an interest in non-western music, is making a comeback today - after a series of more pop style records with various singers including Sophie Hunger - this time with a new recording which is looking towards Africa: Doni Doni. Clearly in love with women's voices, he has invited Malian singer Rokia Traoré into the studio, who will of course be there for this stylistically very open-minded evening. Recorded on Sptember, 2016 at the Festival Jazz á la Villette; TV Director, Giuseppe De Vecchi 10.09.2022 P10067656 (95 min)
