Uptake - So Far So Good (2015)

'Young talents can never be discouraged enough,' claimed one Claude Debussy. Fortunately, the members of the ReZZo FOCAL Jazz in Vienna juries are aware that the strength of fledging artists is that they are not, in fact, discourageable . This applies in any case to the musicians who form UPTAKE, the lucky 2014 winners of this high profile jazz talent contest, one of the most important in Europe. Overflowing with groove and energy, this quartet which stems from the music scene in Lyons, France, has already mastered the art of interplay a synergetic way of spreading and shaping music together in total freedom.
