Guitar player Julien Tassin is as eager as ever to seek new musical partners and to broaden his scope of influences. Next on his long list of inspired collaborations is his new trio with prolific saxophone player Erwin Vann and drummer Jean-Marc Butty, mostly known for his work with singer-songwriter PJ Harvey.
\nThe music of this trio conjurs up vivid images, allows the listener to dream, to observe and to contemplate. It aims to embody a form of collective storytelling, where ego and virtuosity take a backseat to the shared experience. \u201cThe project is a way to express and fulfill my need to slow down in a world that moves faster and faster, where everything has to be immediate and dazzling\u201d, Julien Tassin says. \u201cIt has a spiritual and healing dimension, which is present in both Erwin and Jean-Marc and echoes my personal search.\u201d
\nThe result is music that takes influence from folk, jazz, ambient and contemporary classical music, while developing unique, intimate sensibilities. It is far from a traditional jazz project, which is also reflected by the influences of artistic director John Parish, an English musician and producer who has worked with many alternative rock artists such as PJ Harvey and Eels. \u201cJohn has enhanced the organic quality of the sound by using analog effects, tapes, etc\u201d, Julien adds. \u201cHe and Jean-Marc have an organic, minimalist and raw approach to music, which I love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
