about

ANDY EMLER .PIANO
MARC DUCRET .ELECTRIC GUITAR
CLAUDE TCHAMITCHIAN .DOUBLE BASS
ERIC ECHAMPARD .DRUMS

With a brilliant mix of writing and improvisation, a relevant and generous music, rich compositions where each personality is highlighted while offering a group sound, such is Andy Emler ‘s musical composition. Years of friendships through multiple projects have resulted in a rare and exemplary complicity between these 4 virtuosos who offer us a most stimulating collective performance. Andy Emler wished he could work again with Marc Ducret more regularly.As a reminder : a record in quintet made with Marc in the early 80s... More recently Andy has invited Marc to join the MegaOctet, particularly in London and at the Europa Jazz Festival.In spite of their different musical paths both artists share close links. In addition, the Emler, Tchamitchian, Echampard trio (with their 13 years of existence and 3 CDs) is a formation that extends its influence and its rich singularity throughout Europe. The music, like a slowly ripening fruit, is marked by Andy’s formal requirement and respect for the three musicians who surround him.

Un savant dosage entre écriture et improvisation, une musique pertinente et généreuse, des compositions riches où chaque personnalité est mise en valeur tout en proposant un son de groupe, telle est la conception musicale d’Andy Emler.
Des années d’amitiés à travers de multiples projets ont aboutis à une complicité rare et exemplaire entre ces 4 virtuoses qui nous proposent un jeu collectif des plus stimulant.
Andy Emler souhaitait retravailler avec Marc Ducret plus régulièrement.
Pour rappel, il y eut un disque en quintette avec Marc au début des années 80... Plus récemment Andy invita Marc à se joindre au MegaOctet, notamment à Londres et à l’Europa Jazz Festival.
La proximité artistique des deux musiciens est grande même si le tracé de leurs parcours musicaux diverge. Par ailleurs le trio Emler, Tchamitchian, Echampard (13 années d’existence, 3 CDs) est une formation qui étend son influence et sa riche singularité en Europe. La musique fruit d’un lent mûrissement est marquée par l’exigence formelle, et le respect d’Andy pour les trois musiciens qui l’entourent.

Clockwise

This music has everything I need: acoustic instruments, a slow build, layers of atypical harmonies and rhythms being added each pass through, subtle melodies and combinations. Excellent work! Little James

A year or so ago I downloaded a Big Satan concert on a torrent site. Under the band credits it read "Marc Ducret: Awesomeness." That pretty much sums him up for me. A fabulous sextet release here, with his regular trio augmented by sax, trumpet and trombone. The latter is played by his regular sparring partner Samuel Blaser. Excellent release from an excellent label! binomess

Amazing and immersive. Constructed with such forward motion I forgot where I was and nearly got run over by traffic. Doesn’t get better than that. EmmaH
