Since his first release («Dance with Angels») published by Igloo in 2019,
"Anne Wolf Quatuor" has toured (despite the health crisis) and acquired a
beautiful mature sound. It is probably the original line-up that gives the
group such a singular sound: the piano trio with acoustic bass guitar
(Theo de Jong) and drums (Lionel Beuvens) is enriched by the classical
playing of the cellist Sigrid Vandenbogaerde. By turns, she plays the main
themes or punctuates, with a bow or pizzicato, the themes and improvisations
of the three other musicians.
«Kahane’s Walk in Kalahari» is the title track of the new digital EP. It transposes
the emotional state of the pianist following an intimate solo concert
by the American artist Gabriel Kahane in a small club in Amsterdam. A piece
that distills its many musical influences (classical, African and Brazilian).
«Impasse-temps», the second title, was composed during one of the last
lockdowns imposed by the health crisis and recounts these painfully calm
frozen moments, that unfortunately saw the development of a new type of
segregation, that the pianist deplores. A piece clearly influenced by current
masters of jazz piano such as Brad Mehldau or Aaron Parks.
