Recorded in studio in France, this album has pianist Lawrence Sieberth in the simpatico atmosphere with Stephane Guillaume on soprano or tenor sax, bassist Michel Benita and Jeff Boudreaux on drums for eight sublime and pastel’d originals. Sieberth’s touch is elegant a la Bill Evans, tender to Guillaume’s tenor on “August” and elliptical with Benita’s bass on the funky “The Fantom”. The team ricochet’s on “Kinetic #8” like billiard balls on a Saturday night, while Boudrezux’s tympani’s rumble an exotic theme on “La Valse Parisienne”. Benita is given some space on the glassy “The Singing Bowl” with some strong post bop with Guillaume’s soprano leading the charge on “Lessons In The Fast Lane”. A rich blend of flavors.
