Info zu Slow (The Smart Sounds of Bruit Chic)

Born from the meeting between Yoann LOUSTALOT and Julien TOUERY, active and talented musicians of the new generation of French jazz, this new quartet also highlights the captivating Eric SURMENIAN and Laurent PARIS. A friendship story above all but not that, the four musicians present here are confirmed and inspired instrumentalists.

Listening to the first notes, we realize that they were made to meet. The music, written by their pen, is of rare beauty, out of time, sincere. We are surprised to take the time to indulge in the bewitching climates that hover between impressionist jazz and chamber music. Here, the correctness of the subject prevails over the performance and singular singing unfolds brilliantly over fascinating soundscapes.

Each piece is like a universe in itself, a story in which the musicians offer a eulogy of the beautiful and the slow, like a homecoming. At a time when everything is accelerating, SLOW becomes obvious, an emergency ...

"Yoann Loustalot is like a very rare flower that, when it appears in a garden, makes all the other flowers disappear. It's not just a "beautiful sound". No, it is the sound of the soul and it is so deep and authentic that every note counts and tales. He constantly invents melodies that remain engraved in the air and in our heads. Passion, care, attention, love. I have almost never felt so close to another trumpeter before." (ENRICO RAVA)

Yoann Loustalot
Singular voice of the trumpet in Europe, prolific and original composer, Yoann leads various projects and is also founder of the record label « Bruit Chic ».

He is known for his unique sound and his fine melodic inventiveness. He has recorded more than ten albums as a leader or co-leader. He has also participated in some forty recordings as a sideman and regularly plays alongside other jazz personalities. His various personal projects or collaborations SLOW, LUCKY DOG, AEROPHONE, SLEEPER TRAIN, OLD AND NEW SONGS, GRAND SIX and today the creation of the fantastic project VELVET VOICE are the testimonies of a creativity always in ebullition.

The master Enrico Rava retranscribes very well in these few sentences what emanates from Yoann’s music: » Yoann Loustalot is like a very rare flower which, when it appears in a garden, makes all the other flowers disappear. It is not just a « beautiful sound ». No, it is the sound of the soul and it is so deep and authentic that every note counts and tells a story. It constantly invents melodies that remain etched in the air and in our heads. Passion, care, attention, love. I have almost never felt so close to another trumpeter. »

Lately, as a sideman, he also participates in Aldo Romano’s Palatino quartet as well as in Michel Bénita’s group Ethics and Looking At Sounds, he records with Daniel Humair « Drum Things » for Frémeaux et associés (November 2020) with Aldo Romano « Reborn » and plays with Sylvain Rifflet’s « Troubadours » project…
