Details: Amazon.ca Swiss-born trumpet player Eric Truffaz, an innovative musician, boldly mixes jazz and new currents such as jungle, drum and bass, and hip-hop. This is in no way an attempt to capture a larger audience. Helped by Patrick Muller on piano, Marcello Giuliani on bass, Marc Erbetta on drums and Nya on vocals, Truffaz seems, with The Dawn, to serve a new revolution in jazz. Nostalgic for free or hard bop, this disc is also for you, because it would be unfair to ignore the talent of this album, the credibility of the Blue Note label being there to comfort the purely jazz public. On "Yuri's Choice", the flow of the poet-rapper mixes perfectly with the groove of the other musicians. Jazz was always meant to be dance music; just like drum and bass for that matter. The shadow of Miles Davis hovers; U.S. too. --Cut And Paste Product Description 1998 release for the critically acclaimed French trumpeter, winner of the 1991 Prix Special, France's coveted jazz award. Eight tracks including 'Bukowsky', 'Yuri's Choice', 'The Dawn' & 'Wet In Paris'. Blue Note release.
