de Chassy

"It has always been difficult for me to describe in music those inner states that psychoanalysis explores in words. I hardly dared to do so, until some keys were given to me by the assiduous frequentation of Barbara and Schubert's melodies. Barbara, Schubert: can one dream of better guides to summon, in so few notes, the whole palette of feelings and emotions? To tell the intimate without complacency, with this fragile mixture of abandon and modesty? Better educated now, I waited for my moment to come. It is during the strange period which connects the springs of 2020 and 2021 that unexpected musics appeared from me. They came at the right time to give me news. It was enough to put them in shape, by letting myself be crossed by the images they aroused. Thus were born these Interior Scenes. I confess that I play them above all for myself…but I leave the door open. Thanks to my faithful artistic director, Frédéric Loiseau and my writing companion, Pierre-François Blanchard."

The Lost Crooners would be a great name for a band or, better still, a Roberto Bolaño novel. It's also the name of the enigmatic new trio recording by bassist Daniel Yvinec, just named next musical director of France's National Jazz Orchestra (2007). Seven of the originals on the disc were recorded, at one point or another, by that crooner par excellence, Frank Sinatra. But here the mystery begins. Sinatra's crooning goes back to his teen- idol days fronting the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. "Crooning" itself evokes youthful exuberance, a romantic Zeitgeist. The music on this record alludes, instead, to the latter-day Sinatra: ruing the loss of that ephemeral innocence, with a dash of Brazilian world weary decadence, not unlike the taciturn and peripatetic poet/dope dealers in Bolañ'os The Savage Detectives.
