New album from Belgian jazz pianist Eric Legnini. A collection of short, pop and soul-oriented tracks, moving between acoustic and electronic music, and between yesterday and today. Eric Legnini has been serving jazz for twenty-five years; under his own name or as a special guest, the theme master has nothing much to prove. This particular chapter is not necessarily over, only this time he has decided to honour the raw material which fuels his work, the black wax in which his music has always dug deep for inspiration, and which has gradually shaped his style.”Wax is my roots! Vinyl records, sampling, the seventies-all these are ingrained in my musical culture”, says this record junkie who never misses an occasion to dig through a crate of LPs.”This record contains all the kinds of music that nurtured me: from hip-hop to soul, from funk jazz to present-day r’n’b. I am not trying to hide the sources of my inspiration, I’m simply giving my own version of them.”
