Free and open minds and quiet temperament, Daniel Erdmann (tenor saxophone) and Christophe Marguet (drums) have naturally found themselves in a face-to-face formula, in 2010 for fun and very seriously in 2012 to record the album "Together Together" published in 2014 (Abalone), one of our favorites that year. So we find them together, surrounded by two of their most faithful contrabassist friends: Henri Texier and Claude Tchamitchian. One or the other (in trio of this fact) or the two gathered in an unusual quartet with two double bass on three beaches while playing contrasts bow (Tchamitchian) vs pizzicato (Texier). The stunning compositions are signed Erdmann and Marguet but also Tchamitchian (The Shadow of Water) and Texier with one of his "tubes" in the form of a slogan (Do not buy Ivory, anymore). Its full and suave tenor saxophone by Daniel Erdmann on a very natural phrasing, finesse and subtlety of Christophe Marguet's colorful drum playing, limpid beat of Henri Texier's double bass, Claude Tchamitchian's rich sound palette ... A combination of qualities that make this record a cheering success.
