Daniel Zimmermann Quartet

The « not to be missed  » trombonist of the French scene for 20 years, road companion of Thomas de Pourquery, Le Sacre du Tympan, Nougaro, Manu Dibango, Tony Allen and so many others, Daniel Zimmermann launches his 3rd album with a very personal rereading of Serge Gainsbourg’s work, with the musicians of his multi-awarded album « Montagnes Russes ». Lively, playful, touching, the ensemble goes back and forth between offbeat arrangements and the creation of real new pieces, elaborated from ingredients extracted from the original work of the mythical singer-composer. Concentrated around the Gainsbourg of before Gainsbarre, the most creative from the point of view of the melodies, the 4 strong heads associate the raw energy of the rock with the creative and spirited freedom of the jazz. From Bonnie & Clyde stranded in the Sahel to Comic Strip azimuthé, from Amours perdues poignantes to Machins choses langoureux, from New York USA to Melody Nelson as if suspended above relentless grooves, they multiply the winks to the master to better turn away from him, infusing his malicious spirit and irreverence in each of their pieces.
