Turtle シュリスペイロフ

French trumpeter Erik Truffaz has been a mover and shaker on the European creative improvisational scene since the mid-'90s. With the release of The Mask (a compilation of three previously released recordings: Out of a Dream, The Dawn, and Bending New Corners), Revisité (a DJ dance remix of The Mask), and 2002's forward-sounding Mantis, Truffaz became one of the most popular electronic jazz trumpeters to hit North America since Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer charged forth with Khmer and Solid Ether. With the release of The Walk of the Giant Turtle, Truffaz and his quartet continue to make their mark as an improvisationally rich, high-energy groove experience. The two-part dance track "Scody" features the trumpeter coolly blowing around fluid trance grooves that flow as a mellow confluence of drum'n'bass rhythms and muted electric trumpet.

Turtle Island String Quartet is funked up, cooled down, turned asunder, "rhythmatized" jazz played by a string quartet that goes way beyond the intellectual restrictions placed on the string quartet. Turtle Island String Quartet blows away any staid notions about the violin and cello on Thelonius Monk's "Who Do You Think We Are?," the album's title cut and the piece that sets the stage for musical acrobatics. Even Jimi Hendrix's "Gypsy Eyes" is fair game for the group's new musical tricks.
