Our Take

John Hadfield's Paris Quartet is a delightful romp through the streets of the City of Love, bringing together an ensemble of top-tier musicians for a truly unique sonic experience. From the opening notes of the first track, it's clear that this album is something special.

The chemistry between Hadfield, Dumoulin, Jennings, Rifflet, and Le is undeniable, with each member bringing their own flair to the table. Hadfield's drumming is tight and precise, providing a solid foundation for the rest of the band to build upon. Dumoulin's keys add a touch of whimsy, while Jennings' bass work is simply sublime.

But it's Rifflet's saxophone playing that truly steals the show, soaring and diving with a grace and energy that is simply infectious. And let's not forget Le's guitar work, which adds a layer of complexity and depth to the overall sound.

Together, the Paris Quartet weaves a tapestry of sound that is at once familiar and fresh, blending elements of jazz, fusion, and world music with a touch of avant-garde experimentation. Each track is a journey in and of itself, taking the listener on a sonic adventure that is as exhilarating as it is unpredictable.

In conclusion, John Hadfield's Paris Quartet is a must-listen for any music lover looking for something a bit off the beaten path. So grab a croissant, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let this album transport you to the streets of Paris in all its whimsical glory. You won't be disappointed.
