Cholet Känzig Papaux Trio - Exchange (2014) [Hi-Res]

EXCHANGE is the seventh album by Cholet Känzig Papaux Trio. It once again illustrates the obvious cohesion of this trio in which striking melodic verve, harmonic hypersensitivity and astonishing rhythmic work balance each other out.

Exchange: Cholet’s expressive and subtly nuanced playing, Känzig’s fascinating and precise sounds and Papaux’s elegant and flawless rhythms join together in an atmosphere that is at same time withdrawn and completely open to the world. Exchange: The obvious confidence between the three musicians allows each one to take his place with a great pleasure to play together.

Exchange: Fruit of a collective work of more than a decade, a new musical orientation becomes yet essential, more organic and orchestral, alternating compositions and entirely improvised pieces.

Exchange: The listening becomes more refined and reflexes converge quite naturally into a controlled universe in which the border contracts itself in formal and instantaneous compositions.

In short EXCHANGE is the sum of musical and human interaction, which the musicians want to share.

„Exchange is a deceptively subtle collective that with dynamic melodies but with a lyrical intimacy transcending the improvisational genre.“ (Brent Black, www.criticaljazz.com)
