Mael Godinat piano
Manu Hagmann contrebasse
Nelson Schaer batterie

Blues, boogie, woogie, voodoo rythmes, et autres clins d'oeil aux jazz du siècle passé.

Tack Time ! encapsulates North American jazz, with a touch of dance floor swing, mystical musings and voodoo beats. Manu Haggman and Nelson Schaer provide an emphatic backdrop, while Maël Godinat softens the hard edges. Coyly arran- ged, the music sways softly through a series of delicate and appealing swinging melodies throughout this deluxe 10” EP – a 21st release on Moi J’Connais Records that will thrill even the less ecstatic.
Step into the record and fan out your toes with the breezy Out of the fields. Enjoy the dreamlike charm of the Cantaloupe islands with Boogaloo, and drift off to Nel- son’s relaxed 4-beat rhythms. Naïva – which cheekily thumbs its nose at Coltrane – will then whisk you away to the 1950s, to a time and place where jazzmen changed the world. The B-side begins with the flamboyant Boogie, as easy as pie and as twisted as a Monk solo. Then comes the lysergic Chillin’, where Nelson’s brushes and Manu’s strings give free rein to the pianist’s atmospheric dizzy spells before the final flourish, the carnivalesque and Bo Diddley-inspired Voodoo...
Take a stroll through time, past and present, and enjoy the vintage flavour and the breath of fresh air, the live recording and the analogue mix, the breezy wake-up call that will rattle your sails and push you towards the open sea!
Dear friends, don’t fret, don’t panic: this is jazz to boogie to!
