The long-awaited new album by the Belmondo
Brothers, their first in a decade.
Renowned internationally for their collaborations
with such luminaries as Milton Nascimento and
Yusef Lateef, trumpeter Stéphane Belmondo and
his brother saxophonist Lionel - the most famous
jazz siblings in France - celebrate their artistic
reunion.
The brothers salute their masters and synthesize a
quarter of century of musical adventures via a
series of new original compositions.
Featuring songs inspired and dedicated to Wayne
Shorter, Bill Evans, Yusef Lateef, Woody Shaw
and their late father Yvan.
Featuring the great Belgian Eric Legnini on piano
and a tight and full-bodied jazz quintet.
An original mix of modal and spiritual jazz with
hints of classical liturgical influences and ethnic
vibes.
For fans of John Coltrane, the Blue Note albums of
Wayne Shorter, Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard,
Yusef Lateef, Herbie Hancock, Jacky Terrasson,
Lili Boulanger.

Following his acclaimed first album, French pianist
Dexter Goldberg is back, leading a completely
renewed trio, formed with two young French jazz
wizards, double bassist Clément Daldosso (known
for his stints with the Paris Jazz Sessions and
Giovanni Mirabassi New Quartet) and drummer
Raphaël Pannier (currently a sideman with Biréli
Lagrène and Thomas Enhco), who has just
returned from New York.
 Summoning the genuine spirit of childhood and the
pleasure of interplay, Goldberg puts his trio into
perspective, moving from homage to the great
masters - in particular, Ahmad Jamal, who
encouraged him just before passing - to the joyful
building of moving musical forms.

 “Dexter affirms with just the right amount of
strength and delicacy his personality, that of an
authentic jazzman of the 21st century.” - Jazz
