Review in french jazz magasine Jazz-hot online no631, august 2006
Duo Rythmigration "Une journée anonyme "
Henri Roger , piano
Ismael Robert , percussions
A piano and percussions dialogue in a semi composed semi improvised duo.
It works well , the two musicians speak the same language, with the today need to go have a look in other musics but it still is jazz .
The pianist seems to have assimilated Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea, among others artists , like for exemple in " Une journée anonyme " .
The left hand sometimes does a wonderfull work with ostinatos giving the impression of a double bass . Beautifull sound , nice attacks , personal phrases , he can leave space to the notes as in " ABBK " with a very slow tempo, like waiting .
Influences from Granados, some Ravel in " Noya Mondea " played brightly .
The percussionist's rythmic lines perfectly interwine in the pianist playing .
He shows his soloing skills in " Sous les dunes ".
A very nice record , easely talking to the the heart .
Serge Baudot
