Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived as an ambitious multimedia project chronicling a tour across several African nations, 'Carnet de routes' intimately pairs free jazz improvisation with the striking photography of Guy Le Querrec. The French trio expertly navigates between highly melodic, contemplative passages and chaotic free-blowing, heavily influenced by their immediate exposure to traditional African rhythms. The resulting document is a profoundly evocative, spiritual dialogue bridging European avant-garde sensibilities with global musical traditions.
