Nguyên Lê - Silk And Sand (CD)

Release Date: 04/07/23Trio without BordersIn the wake of a number of global fusion and rock ventures in recent years with international stars, 'Silk and Sand' marks a return to the roots. Here we find a more refined and quieter kind of music-making, as the title implies, and also with more jazz in the mix. ButNguyên Lê would not be himself if he were to rely only on the ingredients of a classical jazz line-up for a new trio. He chose Moroccan percussionist Rhani Krjia for the rhythm section, a musical soul mate with whom Lê wanted to work since years and whose subtle, colorful grooves have already enriched the music of stars such as Sting, Keziah Jones or Dominic Miller. The strong musical foundation of trio is provided by Canadian Chris Jennings, a long-time collaborator with Lê and one of the most sought-after bassists on both sides of the Atlantic.Media Label: ACT Genre: Jazz Run Time: 48:52 mins
