Cécile Verny Quartet Metisse - Dmchr71010 - Jazz - by Double Moon

"Metisse", the french word for mix, is the name of the new album of the german-french ensemble Cecile Verny Quartett. “Metisse“ includes also an interesting mix of different music. The 11 tracks represent many different styles, moods, languages and stories. Uptempo tracks, Ballads, Blues, Latin and Afro Sounds, an enormous spectrum which the Musicians combine in their unique ,new and original language of sound. Since their last very succesful and popular Album “Got a Ticket”(Double Moon 1002),the Quartett has growed up. Here are not playing four Soloists but Four Voices are performing an perfect construction. The” Metisse “ begins with a blues “What if” from pianist Andreas Erchinger ,who is responsible for the half of the songs. One Samuel Taylor Coleridges' story (1722-1834) is interpretated in a dynamic tempo in english and french. The text for “Cradle Song” was written by William Blake (1757-1827), which is one of the highlights in this Album. The title's song “Metisse” belongs to the genuine theme in this CD.
