The soul-crushing single, "Reflections," has
entered Spotify's State of Jazz Playlist
(380,000 subscribers), directly to #3! After selling over 500,000 records in the
world , the ever-surprising trumpet player Erik Truffaz - and Quartet featuring Marcello Giuliani
(bass), Arthur Hnatek (drums) and Benoit Corboz (keys), teams with NYC-based
soul vocalist Jose James for unprecedented collaboration,
"Reflections," the first single from the upcoming new Erik Truffaz
album Lune Rouge, out on October 11th. On "Reflections," Truffaz's
trumpet and José James vocals echo together seamlessly for a nostalgic and
moving song that drifts effortlessly between soul and jazz.
In in the bowels of a city buried deep in Switzerland, Erik
Truffaz donned his musical scientist's attire to concoct his upcoming album.
With his immense experience in music and the perspective that comes with age,
Truffaz handles the trumpet with the hands of a master; drawing his inspiration
from the uninhabited, the unknown, and everything that escapes the collective
psyche.
Along with his handful of associates (Arthur Hnatek, Benoit
Corboz, Marcello Giuliani), Truffaz has shaped his sound. Inspired by the stars
and the night sky, they created Lune Rouge (Red Moon) together, with the aim of
raising their music to a level worthy of such profound beauty and intrigue.
Their best record perhaps, and certainly their most pure,
bathed in an ochre light, instilled with a telluric force, an unknown place
that we know we've long been searching for.
