Adib, Lynn/marc Buronfosse
Nearness
Lynn and Marc have set themselves several objectives with the music of this album: to be close to each other, to touch the soul, to enlarge the space... The voice and the bass combine, orient and jazz speak to each other. Here melody, rhythm and strings, those of the voice, that of the bass, those of the viola d'amore, the bansouri and the tablas.<br />This album will take you on an initiatory journey from the Middle East, particularly Syria, to the West via Greece. From original compositions sung in Arabic, Syriac and Greek with the Byzantine choir Antifoniko Melos, to two covers by Joni Mitchell and Radiohead, and two jazz standards sung in Arabic and English, the journey ends with a composition by Lynn Adib sung in French.
