About
Beyond the soulfully angular rendering of John Coltrane's "Compassion", the quartet tackles eight Bordenave-originals that bridge the gap between chamber-jazz dynamics and post-swing designs. Weber and Bordenave's oblique approach to their instruments - Bordenave can be heard on both tenor and soprano sax - coalesce seamlessly, spinning unanticipated lines over a highly interactive rhythm section. The Blue Land was recorded in Pernes-les-Fontaines in 2022, and produced by Manfred Eicher.
"A delicate tightrope is trodden between tonal and abstract during the ominous title track, while Weber shifts from Jarrett-like piano on Coltrane's 'Compassion' to a gently meditative hum on a Bordenave original 'Cyrus'. It makes for an intriguing, collectively expressive set of chamber ensemble pieces." - Jazzwise ****
"For this gently challenging, quietly evocative and engrossing follow-up of his ECM-leader-debut 'La traverse', Bordenave expands his trio with the unique sensibilities of drummer James Maddren, whose deft touch and unrelenting pulse adds a perfect counterpoint to the group's already idiosyncratic sound." - UK Vibe ****
"Sumptuously recorded at Studios La Buissonne in Pernes- Les- Fontaines, the same trio of Bordenave, Weber and Moret is this time augmented by London-based James Maddren, who brings both a sense of steel and his characteristic rhythmic guile." - LondonJazz News
"A wonderful album, and it will be fascinating to hear where the saxophonist takes his music going forward." - Jazz Views
