Our Take

The latest offering from the Philippe Lemm Trio, "City Birds", is a captivating journey through the bustling metropolis of jazz. This album truly takes flight, soaring through intricate melodies and harmonies like a flock of urban avian companions.

Lemm's drumming is the heartbeat of the trio, providing a steady rhythm that propels the music forward with infectious energy. His dynamic fills and crisp cymbal work add layers of depth to each track, standing out as a highlight of the album.

Meanwhile, pianist Angelo Di Loreto paints vivid sonic landscapes with his deft fingers, weaving intricate harmonies and captivating melodies that evoke the sounds of the cityscape. His playing is at once playful and contemplative, keeping listeners on their toes with unexpected twists and turns.

Bassist Jeff Koch rounds out the trio's sound with his solid foundation and nimble improvisational skills. His deep, resonant tones anchor each track, providing a melodic counterpoint to Lemm and Di Loreto's virtuosic playing.

"City Birds" is a vibrant, dynamic collection of songs that showcases the trio's exceptional musicianship and telepathic communication. This album is a must-listen for jazz aficionados and casual listeners alike, offering a fresh take on the genre that is sure to leave you chirping for more.
