Deep In The Earth High In The Sky

EDITORIAL REVIEWS


THEY ALL THREE SPEAK THE SAME MUSICAL LANGUAGE, A LANGUAGE THAT COMES FROM AFAR, DEVELOPED AND SHAPED OVER THE YEARS BY HUNDREDS OF JAZZ MUSICIANS
Each of them approached music in a fundamentally different way. Aymeric Avice, originally from Normandy, grew up looking at the sea in a family where music was ever-present; he naturally got involved too and was introduced to jazz by his sister, a double bass player; he then committed himself entirely to music. Luke Stewart was born in Mississippi, a southern state whose history is marked by racism; he studied music and jazz there before moving north to Washington DC and then New York. Chad Taylor, born in Arizona into a family of musicians, moved at pre-teen age to Chicago, where he took up the drums after trying his hand at the guitar; it was there that he began his rich and brilliant career alongside some of the most important musicians of Chicago. Despite these differences in approach to music, it is obvious that they all three speak the same musical language, no matter how or where they learned it. A language that comes from afar, developed, shaped, and modified over the years by hundreds of jazz musicians. A language that they themselves, through the originality and creativity of the music they are playing, also contribute to enriching. While each of them, individually, was already part of this community of musicians who are shaping jazz, they are now part of it as a trio.
"Deep in the Earth, High in the Sky" opens and closes delicately with two tracks on which Luke Stewart and Chad Taylor have swapped their double bass and drums for the mbira. While perfectly integrated into the whole, these two pieces allow to gently enter this rich, brilliant, abundant musical universe and to emerge from it serenely, musically enriched.
Listen without moderation.
These three were meant to meet. Just the beginning of a long journey, hopefully.
