Nicolas Montier may not be well known in the U.S., but he is a masterful tenor saxophonist based in France. In a somewhat rare move, Venus Records of Japan has reissued this fantastic album which was recorded in 1991. Of course, it was remixed and remastered to Venus' high standards to achieve great sound. Featured on this album is Montier and his quartet, plus a four-saxophone ensemble called Saxomania. The album contains many lullabies, as the title indicates, but some are played in medium-to-up tempo. Firmly rooted in the mainstream jazz tradition, the band swings very well. The arrangements for a total of five saxophones are consistently brilliant, and Montier's playing is inspired and impressive.

Great music, great sound, great SACD pressing. Enthusiastically recommended!
