Our Take
Denis Kirch & Jean-Pierre Mas's collaboration on "La Rencontre" is like a whimsical journey through a musical wonderland. The album is a delightful mix of experimental jazz and avant-garde electronica that will leave you scratching your head in confusion and tapping your feet in sheer delight. From the opening track, "Le Depart," you are immediately thrown into a world of complex rhythms and unexpected harmonies. Kirch's expert saxophone playing intertwines effortlessly with Mas's intricate piano melodies, creating a sound that is both challenging and captivating. Tracks like "En Route" and "Le Retour" showcase the duo's ability to push the boundaries of traditional jazz music, incorporating elements of free jazz and electronica to create a sound that is truly their own. The result is a refreshing take on the genre that is as unpredictable as it is infectious. However, there are moments on the album where the experimentation feels a bit forced, and the duo's ambitious vision can sometimes overshadow the melodies. Tracks like "L'Arrivée" and "Le Début" veer into self-indulgence, leaving the listener feeling a bit lost in the chaos. Overall, "La Rencontre" is a bold and ambitious album that showcases Denis Kirch & Jean-Pierre Mas's undeniable talent and creativity. While it may not be the most accessible listen, it is definitely worth a spin for those looking to expand their musical horizons. So grab your headphones, sit back, and get ready for a truly unique sonic experience.
