Benoit Delbecq Unit – Phonetics (2004/2012) [ProStudioMasters DSF DSD64/2.82MHz + FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

“Phonetics” from Paris-based pianist and composer Benoît Delbecq presents an artist at the height of his imaginative and synthesizing powers. Recorded with an international quintet and featuring prepared piano on several tracks, this album showcases Delbecq’s broad and deep vision of music, burnished by the audiophile recording. Phonetics was named one of the 12 best records of 2004 (“Choc de l’année”) by Jazzman, the leading jazz magazine in France.

“When I started writing I had a sound in mind … a very open but very rhythmic way of playing … and different directions I wanted us to explore. The mixed timbres of tenor and viola were in a sense the key to the group.”
– Benoît Delbecq

“The pianist finds dazzling creativity through careful use of set rules and layered, complicated structures … (he) elicits a satisfying, rich and remarkably controlled sound out of the group.” – JazzTimes.com

“What a wonderful band Delbecq has put together! This finely synchronized unit creates an exceptional ensemble sound … offering up dark, exotic, mysterious music full of odd harmonies and malleable polyrhythms and abstract textures. An unusual timbral mix, viola and tenor saxophone, sets the sound apart … a very new and exciting sound …” – All About Jazz
