Critical JAZZ HOT N°551
WILLIAM CHABBEY
Meeting With the Cool
WCCDO1
William Chabbey (G), or Gil, Lachenal (b) and Sylvain
Mazzola (hca), Boris Blanchet (ts), Andy Baron and George Brown (DM) meet
the cool. A soaring guitar, a bass which adds roundnesses, Andy Barron playing
cymbals, a moonlike clarity, and the dancing strokes of George
Brown ("Meeting With the Cool "and the so beautiful" Laurence ", nicely sung
by Sylvain Mazzola(harmonica): the swing is light or brilliant ("Song for
Bird"), the subdued atmosphere remains rigorous.
