================================================

Belonging to the new generation of jazz musicians — combining brilliance and eclecticism — Jean Dousteyssier, who plays clarinet with the ONJ, his brother Benjamin, Matthieu Naulleau and Elie Duris play Twenties/Thirties repertoire and particularly pieces by the stride pianists, drawing from the styles of the likes of Fats Waller, Willie “The Lion” Smith or Eubie Blake with a contemporary vision, not only in composing but also in improvisation. Also widely influenced by the free jazz of the Sixties/Seventies and improvised music in Europe over the past two decades, this singular quartet, with this first album, invites listeners to hear short-format popular music that is both rich and skilfully deconstructed, in the image of the first jazz recordings.

Recorded and mixed by Guilhem Angot, Le Luisant, Germigny-L’Exempt, March 2015.
Mastered by Guillaume Le Hénaff, février 2016.
