Our Take
In the jazz world, collaborations between French pianist Laurent Coq and American saxophonist Walter Smith III are akin to a fine wine and cheese pairing - a marriage of European sophistication and American soul. Their latest album, Lafayette Suite, is a delectable feast for the ears, blending intricate compositions with improvisational flair. Coq's piano playing is like a gentle breeze, effortlessly gliding through each track with grace and precision. Meanwhile, Smith's saxophone solos are fiery and passionate, adding a touch of raw intensity to the mix. Together, they create a rich tapestry of sound that is both inviting and challenging. The album kicks off with the title track, "Lafayette Suite," a dynamic opener that sets the tone for what's to come. As the music unfolds, each track feels like a journey through the streets of New Orleans, with its bustling energy and vibrant colours. Standout tracks include "French Quarter Folk Song," a playful homage to Coq's homeland, and "Swamp Gospel," a soulful ballad that showcases Smith's emotional depth. Throughout the album, the chemistry between the two musicians is undeniable, resulting in a captivating listen from start to finish. Overall, Lafayette Suite is a testament to Coq and Smith's musical prowess, offering a delightful blend of tradition and innovation. So, grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let this album take you on a musical adventure unlike any other. Cheers to a collaboration that is truly a match made in jazz heaven. Bon appétit!
