Echoes Of The Jungle
Jungles De Poche
For their debut album, the trio Echoes of the Jungle invites us to explore their pocket jungles_intimate stories shared directly with us, without artifice. These adventurous suites pay tribute to Duke Ellington and his celebrated Jungle style. "What extraordinary intensity emanates from this trio. It must have taken remarkable inventiveness and true talent as sonic architects to bring these twelve pieces to life. Performed by three or four musicians, they sometimes resonate like a big band, only to fade gently into a delicate texture. Here, time becomes a playground. Rhythms shift, metres waver, and structures are gleefully disrupted. They repeat, break off, stumble and spring back, navigating this reimagined jungle with respect and subtlety. The trio turns each piece into a circus ring, stringing together sonic acrobatics with exhilarating virtuosity." Ronan Martin
