The French have had a tradition of great jazz violinists ever since Stephane Grapelli started the dynasty. Blanchard, a very talented instrumentalist, is also a very good writer. The trio headed by Alain Jean-Marie, and the string quartet, provide a majestic setting for Lee Konitz's subtle improvisations.
Producers: Francois Zalacain, Pierre Blanchard. |
