Marc Perrenoud Trio? They were good a year ago, they've just improved further!

Cyril Regamey, the drummer remains a rhythm tradivarius who plays with such an ease that everything sound evident, easy, smooth. He switches from impossible 7 against 5 to 3 against 4 rhythms water flows down the river. His apparently simple but just well balanced beats just set every cell of your body to the same tempo. A pure pleasure, always. I've seen him playing jazz, pop, rereggae, experimental, electro, boogie, classical, he's always amazing. Keep an eye on this guy.
The pianist, leader and composer, Marc Perrenoud, has done a great job on fine tuning the arrangements since last year. His fingers are very volatile: fast as a bird often, light as a feather when from time to time, but firm, powepowerful delicate as a tiger prawns. And the piano was obviously better than the AMR one and allowed him to express his subtle touch far better.
The double bass player, Marco Müller, is the one who changed his play most since last concert. I had mentiomentionedxperimental way of playing last time. All that has disapedisappearedeverything is now smooth and follows a clean track. Is that really good? I'm not so sure. Actually, he's maybe just the visible part of the iceberg. The whole trio has clearly moved from a more improvised music to a more written one. The good point is that the general result is far "better", in terms of synchrsynchronizationspheres, endings, solos. It almost sounds like a movie soudtrsoundtrackthis is, also, a danger I hope they will avoid in the future. Their playing is becoming so good that it might feel too "polished", not to say comerccommercialad, if they went further in that direction. I hope they'll find and keep a good balance between the sound quality and the lifenelifelesse delivery. The third tune was a perfect expemple for me of that balance. I could hear that the music was delivering a message. Clear, coherent, smooth, but at the same time very much alive and full of emotions.
In any case, I am looking forward to buy their forcasteforecastedoon as they release it. And if you like good jazz, you should stay tuned with that band. I'd bet more than a quarter that we'll see them some time programmed at the StravinsStravinsky
On the Glocals people side, I don't think I'm lying if I say that all the attendants loved the concert. Thank you to them for trusting my taste and joining me. Good music is even better music when shared with fine people.
Last but not least, the place, Fluxlaboratory, is just gorgeous. Design, original, modern, minimalistic, but confortable fricomfortablearm at the same time. A first time for me there, but surely not the last. Check them out: http://www.fluxlaboratory.ch/fr/index.php
