“Another newcomer to the family of swinging songs? If Sandrine Mallick isn't exactly a newcomer as an artist, the family notion is still relevant, thanks to this reunion between some of the great representatives of Swing, Scat and Song: Ludovic Beier, Doudou Cuillerier and Antonio Licusati, not forgetting the guidance of Angelo Debarre behind the scenes. Sandrine Mallick has recorded songs that shimmer for "Luciole" (the title means "Firefly"), with the creative support of old friends like City Record and Ludovic Beier, who composed most of the music. This album brings together French chanson, an unhinged spectacle of sensual cynicism and the devastating Swing of the Beier Gang!” Benjamin Goldenstein & Patrick Fremeaux

Through it's strength, it's cohesive force, this National Triangle of Jazz is irresistible. Watch out for the subtlety of the pyrotechnist - his swift virtuosity is simply the emanation of the most touching internal joy. There is nothing ostentatious about this man who ushers his two rhythmic brothers in a flurry of twirling notes. Ten years ago, Barthelemy was 'Modern'. In 1994, he is still so.
