Description
|
|
|
|
Smooth and mellow as a single-malt scotch, Éric Le Lann warms the cockles of your heart with "Yesterdays," the bossa-flavored "You Don't Know What Love Is," and six originals. "A top-notch band … with the always extraordinary pianist David Kikosky, veteran drummer Al Foster, and solid pro bassist Douglas Weiss…. Le Lann's rounded, softer edges may sound somewhat enigmatic, but to others may strike an appealing chord far removed from the modern edgy or more heartily swinging vintage horn players…. His originals sport French titles like … 'C'est la Nuit Lola' and the bopper 'La Bleu d'Hortense,' while 'Hervé in Black and Blue' reflects the style of Dizzy Gillespie and the composition flavor of Benny Golson and 'Today I Fell in Love' is a light funk strut with Kikoski on Fender Rhodes electric piano for contemporary contrast."—All Music Guide
