Gustave Reichert - Mars (2024) [Official Digital Download]

After a first album, Take Off, released in 2018 by Jazz Family, the guitarist offers a new trio opus.

Gustave Reichert is a polyinstrumentalist composer with a rich universe, sometimes dreamlike and sometimes rock, a man of the stage whose nonchalant charisma rubs shoulders with raw energy, and takes the spectators on an epic and sensitive journey. Gustave's passion for certain blowers, among whom we could cite John Coltrane, Lester Young, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson or the contemporary Walter Smith, is perceptible in his playing, where the guitar sound becomes breathy and rounded.

In “Mars”, the guitarist offers a new singular epic, and intoxicates us with his dense and sometimes saturated sounds which evoke a thousand images, like Hans Zimmer's suite for the film Interstellar. This is no coincidence since music for images has always attracted the jazzman, who has already composed for the cinema. The trio formed with drummer Pierre Alain Tocannier and double bassist Lucas Fattorini gives substance to the fine and sensitive writing of Gustave Reichert, which carries us away and transports us, disturbingly, from one energy to another.
