Details: In love with swing, scat and catchy melodies as she is, Dee Dee could not fail to immerse herself one day deeply in the repertoire of "hard bop grand pop" (the grandfather of hard bop , as Horace Silver refers to himself in one of his recent records). That's what she does here with delight (for her and for us) in the company of her regular trio augmented by the Belmondo brothers, the most convincing representatives of this muscular and effective style on the French jazz scene. Honed during triumphant tours, the repertoire intelligently mixes hits ("Doodlin'", "Song For My Father"...) and lesser-known themes. Remarkable icing on the cake, Mr. Silver himself - he gave his guarantee and his support for the project - wets his shirt on two titles and his groove colleague Jimmy Smith, another fifties / sixties veteran, swings his Hammond organ on two others. Funky, churchy and soulful at will --Thierry Quénum
