Satie's blues

With a career spanning more than 40 years, some twenty albums under his name and a multitude of projects, guitarist-composer Pierrejean Gaucher has never hidden his influences, particularly that of Frank Zappa. Also, 20 years after his Zappe Zappa, he repeats this approach, this time around the musical universe of Erik Satie, precursor of the musics of the 20th century. To mark his return to the French jazz scene, and for this new musical adventure, the guitarist has surrounded himself with young and brilliant musicians who are in the jazz news (ONJ, Ping Machine, PJ5, Sarab…). This album has been widely acclaimed by the press, and the first concerts have shown the strength of this new group on stage. The inventiveness, the energy and the enthusiasm of these musicians gathered around this Satiesque repertoire, make this project one of the most exciting of the moment.
