Our Take

Swiss pianist and composer Nik Bärtsch's latest offering, Entendrein, is a mind-bending journey through avant-garde jazz, minimalism, and a healthy dose of funk. Bärtsch, known for his intricate compositions and hypnotic grooves, doesn't disappoint on this album.

The opening track, "Rhythmégé," sets the tone with its complex rhythms and pulsating energy. Bärtsch's piano playing is both delicate and forceful, weaving intricate patterns that keep the listener on their toes. The addition of saxophone and bass clarinet adds a rich texture to the music, creating a sonic landscape that is as mesmerizing as it is unpredictable.

Tracks like "Modulaire" and "Réplique" showcase Bärtsch's skill as a composer, with their carefully constructed melodies and intricate arrangements. The music ebbs and flows, building to moments of intense climax before pulling back to a quiet, contemplative state. It's a rollercoaster of emotions that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish.

Entendrein is a testament to Bärtsch's talent as a musician and composer. With its innovative approach to jazz and its fearless exploration of different musical styles, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that challenges the status quo. So buckle up, dear reader, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the mind of one of the most exciting artists in the jazz scene today. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
