Laurent Coulondre - Gravity Zero (2017)

It is unclear whether the Nitro title that opens this Gravity Zero is the diminutive of nitroglycerin, but difficult to make start more explosive in just three minutes! Laurent Coulondre is at the same time not the kind to do in the sketch and the haiku ... At the end of his fingers, an army of organs that he drives with gluttony and virtuosity. In front of him, drummers and nothing but drummers! An interesting mirror when one knows that this glutton of rhythms precisely began with the battery. According to the compositions, the Vauverdois with silver fingers invites the indestructible André Ceccarelli, Martin Wangermée, Yoann Serra and Cyril Atef of Bumcello for a feast of fusion (but not that) that owes so much to a certain golden age of jazz Rock (Hancock / Corea) and a much more contemporary approach to groove. The palette proposed here by Coulondre is especially impressive. It remains to be carried by this flow of lava whose interest is to also rely on compositions of high performance. Because Laurent Coulondre is not only a pyrotechnician of the keyboards, it is also a wise author.
