Lightness, gravity, serenity, and even volupty. we all want to squeeze up to laugh, think and applaud when Rémo Gary is around. he paints a painting with the water on a glassy sea, he evokes the life in metaphors, he makes us reflect/bounce on the word free.t jouent la farandole.
Rémo Gary offers a sincere, popular, refined album in which his words find an incomparable echo beside the group Off 7. This time, the musicians are confronting writing and improvisation, exploring the harmonious progressions, breaking the rhythmic solutions, mixing the melodic references, inventing a directory of delicious brass band where cohabites jazz, contemporary music, ethnic report and French Songs.
