He merges the ethereal textures of Davis's Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud and In A Silent Way with world music and modern dance rhythms. Backed by guitarist Manu Codjia, bassist Michel Benita and drummer Philippe Garcia, Truffaz's vibratoless open horn melds with drum'n'bass and hip-hop beats on \"Saisir\" and the title track. \"No Fear\" and \"Tahun Bahu\" swing with a more mainstream jazz feel. But \"Nina Valeria\", a duet piece with virtuoso Anour Brahem, and \"Magrouni\", an anthemic ditty featuring vocalist Mounir Troudi, both have Arabic tinges. Truffaz and company create a compelling sound collage that dances and trances. --Eugene Holley, Jr      Product Description      Import pressing of his 2002 album that is out-of-print in the US.
