ERIK TRUFFAZ:Mantis (blue note France 2001)

Rare limited 2LP edition

 

On this great 2LP Erik gathered guitar player Manu Codjia,double bass player Michel Benita,drummer Philippe Garcia
and special guests Anouar Brahem and singer Mounir Troudi…
13 cuts(2 non on the CD issue) offering a journey into jazz, melted with electro,trippy percussion,emotion and mystery…Even deeper and even more violent sometimes than his other albums...
Drum and bass, ambient, weird little rhythm experiments, straight-ahead jazzy stuff - pretty much everything he tries here works which is not always the case in this style, or in practice with Truffaz' albums in particular. I find this accessible and quite beautiful in a way that "classic" fusion wasn't always and 70's Miles was rarely - not so difficult to get up with for most listeners. Helps that Truffaz leans toward the "In A Silent Way" end of the spectrum and away from the "Rated X" end. Either way, he's got a gorgeous, limpid tone, a sense of humor, some great ideas that work out well and overall has put together a record that while not knocking me out, makes me smile every time, makes me want to come back, and also makes me think that inside him there lurks a really great one. Maybe it's already out there and I haven't heard it yet, maybe he hasn't recorded it - but I'm pretty sure he can do it.
