August 27, 2015 Review...
Here's a project that will please both jazz and world music lovers. What a pleasure it is to
discover guitarist and composer Samuel Bonnet and his group. The savvy mix of arabic
sounding harmonics, Chano Dominguez-like percussions and flamenco guitar all add up to
make a great sounding band. All along these tracks we discover some funk, a very good
saxophonist/clarinetist with Yannick Rieu influences, and the universes of oud player Rabih
Abouh Khalil.
We discover the finesse of flugelhorn player Joe Magnarelli, especially in the beautiful Ani Couni
Chaouani and the melodic talent of the guitarist that revisits What’s Going On. More than just a
nice CD, this group has something to say.
