product description

Pianist and composer Joachim Caffonnette from Brussels presents his second album as a leader with "Vers l'Azur Noir."

Inspired by a poem by Rimbaud and the tragedy of migrants hoping to cross the Mediterranean, this album marks a return to one of the most classic yet flexible formations in jazz history: the piano trio.

Featuring 9 tracks, including 6 original compositions by Joachim Caffonnette, two rock standards, and a cover of Thelonious Monk, the album was recorded in two stages: the first six tracks were recorded in November 2017 at Jet Studio, while the last three were recorded live in Brussels in September 2018. This decision was driven by the desire to combine the precision of studio recording with the spontaneity of a jazz concert.

After releasing a debut album with a quintet, Joachim connected musically with French musicians Alex Gilson (bass) and Jean-Baptiste Pinet (drums). The trio toured together for a year and a half before recording "Vers l'Azur Noir." The album is a journey between the harmonic richness characterizing the composer's work and the quest for simplicity in chosen melodies. It alternates between composed parts ("A Mawda," "Perspectives," "Inner Necessity") and moments of freedom ("Tripoli's Sorrow," "Monk's Dream").
