Film Description
| Sclavis brings a new line-up to this new ECM date. Gone is violinist Dominique Pifarely: instead we find trumpeter Jean-Luc Cappozzo, along with cellist Vincent Curtois. This is a change for the better, balancing the front line, refocusing the spotlight on Sclavis's fertile improvisatory brain and using the rest of the well-integrated band as a foil to this. Sclavis has always exhibited a lively and dynamic approach to rhythm, owing much of it to native French instrumental music, so his bands always lay down a complex but very disciplined metre for his front line to play up to. While duet tracks such as the three-minute "Distances" (cello and clarinet) dispense with percussion altogether, on tracks where it is present things are driven along at a fine clip. Cappozzo is a flexible and articulate player with a good tone, but Sclavis remains the star, especially on bass clarinet, where he amazes and delights with his virile musical imagination. --Keith Shadwick |
