Olivier Temime – Marcenay Encore (CD)
Product Details
Olivier Temime has spent decades carving out a singular voice in the French jazz scene, drawing equally from the American post-bop tradition and a deeply personal relationship with the music and landscapes of Burgundy. Where the first Marcenay session leaned into the intimate interplay of a trio, this second chapter opens the room, letting four musicians push and pull against each other with the kind of trust that only comes from years of shared stages.
Eight months after Marcenay recorded as a trio with Emmanuel Bex and Simon Goubert, the saxophonist unveils the second installment of his diptych devoted to life in his adopted Burgundian village.For this new opus, Temime surrounds himself with three longtime companions - Étienne Deconfin (piano), Sylvain Romano (double bass), and Antoine Paganotti - shaping a free, incandescent Power Quartet, always ready to venture off the beaten track.Here, the worlds of Mireille Mathieu, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Michel Sardou intersect and transform one another. Six original compositions seal this summit meeting, where popular memory engages in dialogue with the boldness of contemporary jazz, confirming Olivier Temime's freedom of expression and strongly affirmed musical identity.
