Paul Abirached, Alain Jean-Marie - Nightscape (2013)

The collection will inaugurate its first album with Nightscape, a project by the guitarist Paul Abirached in duo with the pianist Alain Jean-Marie.
These musicians have worked together previously in a quartet while recording Paul Abirached’s first album, Dream Steps. This second opus is a rare show of finesse and elegance.
Paul Abirached chose a repertoire mixing compositions, originals (Jim Hall, Paul Motian, Joe Lovano, Wayne Shorter, Billie Holliday) and moments of pure improvisations. Alain Jean-Marie submitted with pleasure to this poetic universe, guided on unfamiliar terrain.
Nightscape was recorded ad hoc, without rehearsals, after a short series of concerts in Paris, Bruxelles and Liège. It is a snapshot of an encounter that we hope to perpetuate.
