Denis Colin - Subject to Live (2011)

With his new Société des Arpenteurs (Surveyors' Club), Denis Colin seems to be at ease just as much in the groovy titles as on more sombre, often haunting pieces. The group has just been on tour where they played with guest artists Jacques Schwarz-Bart and Philippe Sellam, amongst others. Denis Colin has also brought other serious artists into this new group, including Benjamin Moussay on Fender Rhodes, Julien Ormé, a terrific brass section… The Société taps into the groove of great black music"" to offer compositions that blow across the French jazz scene like a diabolically stirring wind. A unifying project and a superb album that retraces the best moments recorded live during the tour.
