Jerome Lorichon / Thierry Müller / Quentin Rollet - Night In Red Satin [Reqords 015]

Released on August 26th, 2k24 via Quentin Rollet's very own Reqords label is "Night In Red Satin" which sees the Paris-based saxophone player and composer teaming up with fellow musicians Jerome Lorichon and Thierry Müller for a triple collaboration affair which, in its entirety, spans a total of two extended parts and an overall runtime of roughly 29 minutes. Opening on a minimalist, yet almost enchanted and mythical tip the triplet of sonic collaborators closes in on what might be widely referred to as Contemporary Avantgarde Jazz by the means of carefully stacking layer after layer of electronic atmospheres, plucked guitar strings, electronically processed saxophones alongside curious and playful naturalistic sax tones, ghostly, haunted and otherworldly sounds and stripped down, skeletal and echoing, somewhat swampy Electronica remnants, all combined in a rather non-linear, yet slightly score-oriented manner filled with tension and relief, infused with elements of Ambient and Deep Listening Music and - naturally - a ton of, in parts melancholic, improvisational sequences drawing inspiration from both Jazz and electronic experimentalism. Quite an intense and widely varied album which requires multiple dedicated listening sessions to reveal all its hidden details.
