Out of the Heavenly sweetness camp
comes the Florian Pellissier Quintet.
Inspired on this one through South
African Jazz, Pellissier and his band,
who have been with him for nearly a
decade, put together a 60's sounding
nine song Lp that is full of good vibes
and great musicianship. Recorded in
just three days in the studio,
Pellissier on piano, David Georgelet on
drums,Yoni Zelnik on bass, Christophe
Panzani and Yoann Loustalot, on
saxophone and trumpet, laid down a
record that could have been released by
Blue Note in the 1960's. From the
opening notes of "Cap de Bonne
Esperance" to the raw energy on "The
Hipster", where Pellissier's piano and
the band get locked into this groove
that oozes the Blue Note sound, to the
melancholy and free "Almeria" and the
funky "Les Masques Africains", this
record takes your ears back to a time
when jazz music was jazz music. If we
hadn't told you this was a new release,
and if the modern Lp graphics weren't
applied, you could swear this was some
long lost record. With two covers mixed
in among the originals, one of them
"What A Difference A Day Makes",
featuring the beautiful voice of Leron
Thomas, ends this great recording in
the best way. We are fully behind these
musicians and this record. For us, the
best jazz record that was late 2015/
early 2016 hands down. It is the sound,
ya dig? We will admit that we are
completely bias here at FMF, and are
drawn to labels like Blue Note and
Prestige, and have been searching for
this kind of sound since we started
buying jazz. We've found it almost 25
years later still through Florian
Pellissier and his Quintet. It's
wonderful to hear that this kind of
sound can be alive and well today,
interpreted lovely by a group of not
just talented but conscious musicians,
and delivered through the hardworking
label Heavenly Sweetness.
