Pianist and composer Christophe Imbs, a major figure on the Strasbourg art scene, returns to center stage with a 3rd album as a leader. Not content with having, as Hiko writes, “shattered the imposed figures of the jazz trio” with his previous album, he released “SOFT POWER”, an album which dynamited the jazz quartet.
Behind his piano doped with effects pedals, he composed this album for a shock team: Julien Lourau, Joan Eche-Puig and Anne Paceo (replaced for this concert by Elie Martin-Charrière).SOFT POWER is twelve intense titles like a boxing fight, with its strong moments, others suspended, its victories and its knockouts, its self-mockery. Twelve songs that sweat, going from caress to punch, from drops of tears to drops of sweat.
