France, which is seriously selective about only elevating the
best of its jazz singers, has been in a stew ever since young
Beninoise-French singer Mina Agossi emerged from nightclubs to
limelight. If her first albums were essentially trials of
style, then Zaboum!!--Agossi's lightly titled fourth
release--sees everything in perfect placement.
Zaboum!! is poised on a cusp between trad greats and modern
innovation. The smoky-voiced Agossi takes on songs by Fats
Waller, Duke Ellington, even Jimi Hendrix, to give a flavour of
her interpretative ability. But once on her own compositions,
Agossi has a Bjorkish inventiveness. Birds sing on the title
track; 'Gypsy Boy', so full of longing and menace, is opened
right up by some aching violin; 'Identity' is spurred on by
some dark electronic percussion.
Her four-strong band features bassist Alexandre Hiele with
Bertrand Perrin and DD Williams' staggering range of
percussion, but it's Agossi who is the revelation. Her
intonations match the words: she really can 'scratch the air'
to quote '2000 Bells'. And Ellington's 'Caravan' gets a
complete makeover, with Agossi taking the song off to Morocco
and setting it free in the kasbah. As her voice moves into wild
and slinky ad libs, a whole new journey is revealed.
