Julien Lourau is one of the finest-toned saxophonists in France. With Laurent Coq (piano), Thomas Bramerie (double bass) and Otis Brown III (drums), he presents his Quartet Saigon – named after the location of their first gig, in Vietnam.
Their name also gives an indication of the project’s themes which range from abstract to more colourful salvoes. Lourau is ethereal on the soprano and earthy on the tenor sax, having played and toured internationally with Marc Ducret, Henri Texier, Abbey Lincoln, Vincent Courtois, Bojan Z and Ari Hoenig amongst others. Not to be missed.
'Dark, atmospheric, with multiple layers of sounds and weird samples, yet this never overshadows the sheer beauty of Lourau's melodies' (Jazzmann)
