Jeremy Frerot Tout L'or du Monde

Cet enregistrement est assez ancien, du début des années 70, mais n'a toujours pas été remplacé. On chante certes aujourd'hui Lejeune différemment, mais je ne suis pas certain qu'on y mette tout le charme qu'exprimaient les interprètes dirigés par Jacques Feuillie. Les couleurs vocales, la diction exquise font de ce disque une réussite musicale. Le calvinisme français du XVième siècle parvient avec Lejeune à dépasser l'austérité qu'on lui attribue souvent.

Belgian composer, keyboard player and educator Dominique Lawalrée, born in Brussels in 1954, studied music in Namur and began composing in 1973. With a name inspired by his love of The Beatles (I Am the Walrus, 1967), Lawalrée launched Walrus records in 1976 when he was only 22 years-old. Walrus was the vehicle of choice for the release of his own music, though he also published a great 2xLP compilation with Baudouin Oosterlynck, Eric de Visscher and Robert Fesler in 1984 (W.L.S. 012/13). Lawalrée’s music until the mid-1980s is a delightful mix of synthesizer exploration in the vein of Brian Eno and Roedelius, piano minimalism à la Satie, as well as personal ideas in the form of field recordings, sound collages and spoken word – for instance, his 1983 mini-LP Six jours à Barcelone (6 Days in Barcelona) included bird sounds.

Ahmad Al-Khatib is among the rising stars of contemporary Arabic music. Born in a Jordanian Palestinian refugee camp in 1974, Al-Khatib went on to study cello and musicology at Yarmuk University (Jordan). Following graduation, he relocated to Ramallah, joining the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music in East Jerusalem in 1997, where he taught and later became director of the Oriental Music Studies department. It was during this time that he and other teachers, including Youssef Hbeishe formed the Karloma ensemble, a small chamber orchestra dedicated to performing contemporary Palestinian music. Following Israeli crackdowns in 2002, Al-Khatib's visa was not renewed and since 2004, he has taught Modal Music Composition and Theory at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.

"What counts in France for success is no longer being 'well born'; to be successful is to work hard and to have demonstrated, through your studies, through your work, your worth ". And since Mr. S. does not extend this principle to himself, it is up to jazzmen to apply it. Because the Society of Surveyors with which clarinetist Denis Colin surrounds himself on this well-sounded "Subject to Change" (Le Chant du Monde / Harmonia Mundi) does not suffer from any piston - except those of Antoine's trumpet.

With his new Société des Arpenteurs (Surveyors' Club), Denis Colin seems to be at ease just as much in the groovy titles as on more sombre, often haunting pieces. The group has just been on tour where they played with guest artists Jacques Schwarz-Bart and Philippe Sellam, amongst others. Denis Colin has also brought other serious artists into this new group, including Benjamin Moussay on Fender Rhodes, Julien Ormé, a terrific brass section… The Société taps into the groove of great black music to offer compositions that blow across the French jazz scene like a diabolically stirring wind. A unifying project and a superb album that retraces the best moments recorded live during the tour.
