La Pointe Courte.

Echorec est une somptueuse marque de pédalier que de nombreux gratteux et gratteuses doivent sûrement connaître. Mais loin de moi l’idée de faire l’éloge de ce produit car cet espace n’est pas dédié à ce genre de fantaisie. Non je préfère vous faire part du groupe Anglais Echorec et de l’album The Island.

Phonetics from Paris-based pianist and composer Benoît Delbecq presents an artist at the height of his imaginative and synthesizing powers. Recorded with an international quintet and featuring prepared piano on several tracks, this album showcases Delbecq's broad and deep vision of music, burnished by the audiophile recording. Phonetics was named one of the 12 best records of 2004 ("Choc de l’année") by Jazzman, the leading jazz magazine in France.

The Sixth Jump is the first trio release from French pianist Benoît Delbecq, released in tandem with a companion solo album on which Delbecq deconstructs some of the same songs he interprets here with the trio. This recording features intense yet supple polyrhythmic improvisations built up in interlocking layers and cycles, woven together with the bass and drums and a distinctive melodic/tonal sense that balances consonance and dissonance with timbral shifts in many intriguing ways. The Sixth Jump was named one of the 12 best records of 2010 ("Choc de l’année") by Jazzman, the leading jazz magazine in France.
