"For too long a time confined to the unrewarding tasks of accompaniment before amplification helped it to emerge from obscurity, the guitar has taken its revenge imperiously invading the jazz kingdom. Among every possible choice, Philippe Festou chose to follow the way shown by the eminent forerunners such as Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, and Rene Thomas. Against the electric flashes, he sets the clear line, where each note has its own value, its own function, its emotional power before fading into a crystalline melody. Irrigated by the swing that maintains a salubrious tension, music claims that part of the dream so precious to the Mediterranean man, so perfectly illustrated by Andre Jaume and adopted with an equal success by Philippe Festou.
