Erik truffaz revisite rar4/30/2023 The material is drawn from the critically acclaimed The Mask, which itself was made up of two previous records, The Dawn and Brand New Corners. The songs worked on here all to some extent hang on to that mood - indeed if they ditched it there would be precious little of Truffaz left. Think Zawinul-Davis with digital rather than rock rhythms and you are pretty close. Truffaz’ basic sound is Miles Davis of the years around Bitches’ Brew. It should garner interest from a widening audience, because of the employment of “broken beats” and hip-hop samples, but it has no desire to shed its essential experimentalism and, it has to be said, artiness. The project is closer to the spirit of the sixties avant-garde, comparatively - and on some numbers absolutely. However, Truffaz remains the most resolutely orthodox, in a high modernist sense, of the trio and these “revisits” are determined to keep it that way. Erik Truffaz is being marketed alongside label mate St.Germain, and the likes of Norwegian pianist Bugge Wesseltoft, as part of the growing jazz-meets-dance phenomenon. If you think that the prime function of a re-mix is to render a track more amenable to the dancefloor you are in for a shock. This is a remix album and a good one - but a word of warning.
