Extensive souvenir of the 2016 and 2017 reunion tour by Les Insus, aka Jean-Louis Aubert (guitar, vocals), Louis Bertignac (guitar, vocals) and Richard Kolinka (drums), with bass player Aleksander Angelov standing in for original member Corine Marienneau. Had she been there, the band simply would've been called Téléphone, but there's still a lot of bad blood between her and the rest of the band. The others had the good grace not to use the original band name to mark her absence. The first two discs feature a full show recorded at the L'AccorHotels Arena in Paris, which captures the atmosphere of the tour very well, while disc 3 was recorded at the Trabendo club and features many lesser known deep cuts and rarities.

Claudio Abbado’s career with Deutsche Grammophon stretched back over more than four decades. He was as much a man of the theater as he was one of the greatest of all late 20th century symphonic conductors, and many of his opera recordings remain unsurpassed in the catalog. Building on the huge success of Claudio Abbado – The Symphony Edition, comes The Opera Edition: 60 CDs presenting Maestro’s complete opera recordings for Deutsche Gramophone and Decca.

François Poitou est contrebassiste de jazz mais aussi compositeur et arrangeur. Pour son premier projet en leader, il a monté un groupe assez original sans batteur. Un quintet violon, alto, guitare, saxophone et contrebasse donc. Pour le disque, un second violon vient compléter la formation. Huit compositions et une reprise de Matthieu Chédid pour un répertoire étonnant, inclassable mais extrêmement goûteux et audacieux. Les cordes tissent une trame assez douce (parfois en pizzicati) que le saxophone ou la clarinette basse ponctue tantôt allègrement, tantôt délicatement. Poitou et sa contrebasse assurant la pulsation. Mais l’album vaut beaucoup par le jeu littéralement envoûtant de Federico Casagrande à la guitare. De la musique de chambre contemporaine qui swingue, qui groove cela pourrait fort bien s’appeler du jazz.

Philippe Hersant is a French composer. He studied at the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique, Paris. From the 1960s onwards he was one of the leading European composers who contributed to a profound renewal of contemporary musical creation during the last quarter of the twentieth century.
