Our Take

Don your ceremonial robes and prepare to be transported to a mystical realm with HUGUES MAYOT & L'ARBRE ROUGE's latest offering, "Invocations." This album is a sonic incantation that merges traditional jazz with avant-garde sensibilities, resulting in a mesmerising auditory experience that is equal parts transcendental and trippy.

From the opening track, "Summoning the Spirits," it is clear that Mayot and his band are on a mission to push the boundaries of contemporary jazz. The ethereal blend of woodwinds, strings, and percussion creates a sonic tapestry that is both haunting and hypnotic. As the album progresses, tracks like "Ritual Dance" and "Divine Interventions" take listeners on a journey through a musical landscape that is as unpredictable as it is enchanting.

Mayot's saxophone playing is both virtuosic and otherworldly, weaving in and out of the ensemble with a fluidity that is truly awe-inspiring. Meanwhile, L'Arbre Rouge's musicianship is nothing short of spellbinding, with each member adding their own unique flair to the group's sound.

Overall, "Invocations" is a bold and ambitious statement from HUGUES MAYOT & L'ARBRE ROUGE. It is an album that demands to be listened to with an open mind and a willing spirit. So light some incense, pour yourself a glass of red wine, and let the music take you on a journey through the cosmos. You won't regret it.
