Dear Uncle Lennie

Dear Uncle Lennie is the new trio of pianist and composer Camille-Alban Spreng. A bit like Japanese haikus, each song represents an idea, a fantasized story, a furtive image towards a picturesque landscape. The short pieces follow one another, mixing jazz, folk and improvised music, and create a mythological fresco whose stories are told without words, by musical evocation and with the help of the listener's imagination. This music was inspired by stories of the American Civil War, fireside stories, cornfields and songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Patrick Watson, Sufjan Stevens.
