Hot on the heels of the (Hot) Club de France, this is jazz that guarantees the “Made in France” label in expressing all the vitality and artistic maturity of the young musicians on the Parisian Swing scene. Their distinguishing features? Power and lyricism (in the pure Gypsy Swing tradition), combined with all the verve to be found in Hard Bop. This daringly ambitious album reconciles the partisans of Panassie and Delaunay while having all it takes to make the RP Quartet a new reference on the international jazz scene. Augustin BONDOUX
