Trio Sud - Young And Fine (2008)

Hailing from Bayonne in the Basque region of southwest France, Sylvain Luc is one of today's most compelling acoustic guitar stylists. On Young and Fine he reunites with the remarkable musicians of Trio Sud - bassist Jean-Marc Jafet and drummer Andre Ceccarelli. Their third Dreyfus recording (Luc's sixth overall), Young and Fine, takes its title from a lovely composition by a recently departed European jazz legend, Austria's Josef Zawinul.

Luc weaves a complex web of acoustic-electric sound, nylonand steel-string textures, showcasing his own music, venerable jazz standards (Wayne Shorter, Dizzy Gillespie), classics of modern jazz repertoire (Joseph Zawinul) and even well-chosen items (Stevie Wonder) from the pop realm.
