about

Quantum Snail Blues is an album I have recorded at Studio B in Gardanne France on June 5th and 6th 2022 with Lionel Dandine on Hammond Organ and Cedrick Bec on the drums.

I always wanted to record some traditional jazz with that Organ feel and decided to do it while I was traveling in Provence visiting some old time friends.

The album recorded and mixed by Lionel Dandine and mastered by Nate Wood in NYC, has 6 compositions with that same trio form, and 2 compositions in quintet with Alexis Tcholakian on acoustic piano, Lilian Bencini on double bass, Gilles Grivola on tenor and soprano saxophones and Cedrick Bec on drums.

Most of the compositions come from an old album "Story Of" recorded 20 years ago in quartet and on which I have written new arrangements and wanted to play them with a different color and put the guitar playing more up front.

The composition Quantum Snail Blues is a very fast blues, and I have asked a great video maker Waldo Lara to create a video clip in software animation that is telling the story of a snail waking up listening to me playing super fast in the middle of the nature, and trying to get closer to the music source, meeting a magic mushroom on its way, and having a trip thinking he is as fast as the band playing…

Obviously I wanted to add a sense of humor to this very fast playing, while watching the incredible graphics of the video clip you can watch on my youtube channel:

Hope you will appreciate this humble peace of art!

Be curious, be light!
