- Pierrejean Gaucher: Satinédits
(2023, streaming / download, --, bandcamp)
At the time of the release of the 'Zappe Satie' CD (2021), I still had some previously unreleased musical material recorded in the studio. After 2 years and a number of concerts, I felt the need to come back to it. Also, 2025 will mark the centenary of Erik Satie's death. A great opportunity to breathe new life into this musical project! This EP is fairly short (15'00) and mixes full tracks with 'interludes', as on the previous album. Yet they offer a different and complementary facet of this repertoire.
I, for one, I'm glad that this EP got released. The music is beautiful.
I love the instrumentation and the tone of Pierrjean's guitar.
- Pierrejean Gaucher : guitars, various instruments
- Quentin Ghomari : trumpet
- Thibault Gomez : piano Fender Rhodes
- Alexandre Perrot : acoustic bass
- Ariel Tessier : drums
- Marc-Henri Boisse : voice on 3
'Pacific 431' sounds like the start of a voyage, 'Gnossienne no.8' kicks off with a Frank Zappa sample (from the spoken word intro from 'Be-Bop Tango (Of The Old Jazzmen’s Chuch)' from the “Roxy & Elsewhere” album), 'Erik's Speaking' is quite funny and it has Sati's vocals doubled on guitar (remember The Jazz Discharge Party Hats?),...
Highly recommended !
Check it out.
