With Elegant People, Biréli Lagrène returns to playing in a quartet. The guitarist continues an exploration that spans styles, from American standards to blues influences, while leaving room for interplay between the instruments and improvisation.
Alongside him, Jean-Yves Jung alternates between piano and Fender Rhodes, William Brunard plays double bass, and Raphaël Pannier plays drums. This lineup makes it possible to explore a collective repertoire following the album Solo Suites. The title Elegant People, borrowed from a composition by Wayne Shorter for Weather Report, recalls the guitarist’s interest in jazz fusion.
The album also brings together standards such as My Foolish Heart and A Time for Love, as well as Ivan Lins’s Anjo de Mim. These tracks offer a guide to discovering the project; the exact concert program has not been announced.
This quartet appeals both to guitar enthusiasts and to listeners curious about jazz that brings several traditions into dialogue. When they performed at Nuits de Robinson in August, Nouvelle Vague singled out the interplay between the musicians and the emphasis on musicality in their improvisations.
