laurent epstein - French Movies in New-York (2025) [Hi-Res]

Clear, elegant, and demanding, "French Movies in New York" shows the talents of Laurent Epstein, a sensitive pianist with generous and subtle playing, in this artistic project with an exceptional casting, clearly establishing him among the greats. Recorded at New York's Oktaven Studio, "French Movies in New York" reminds us of the melodic genius of Eddie Gomez, surrounded with indefinable refinement by drummer Willie Jones III, and reveals in Vanisha Gould an extraordinary talent that will not go unnoticed.

The seduction is certain with this rediscovery, thus transformed, of 10 cult melodies from French cinema, which we thought we knew well.
