Bass clarinet player Denis Colin from France is an adventurer. His last trio was composed of a cello, a zarb and his instrument and accompanied the American singer Gwen Matthews. A prior one, recorded in Minneapolis, took compositions from Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane to Jimi Hendrix and Wyclef Jean and featured the voices of Snap G, the Steeles and Wain McFarlane, amongst others. He also creates music for a very renowned artist of animated shorts, Florence Miailhe, winner of many film prizes, and has recorded a bass clarinet solo CD, which is very much worth discovering.
His new CD features a group of gifted musicians from all corners of the French jazz scene and beyond: the “Societé des Arpenteurs” he calls them – difficult to translate, since it combines the notion of taking a measure of what is around with that of walking a great distance. Both of which apply to what the artist does musically, no doubt about it.
The compositions vary with influences that touch all of us, music lovers of this 21st century which considers itself global, transgressing borders. From mellow funk to more dense pieces and to those that engulf you and approach the trance of Satie inspired music, and with an attachment to rhythm that is always in evidence.
