Tam Nà Vulinn : Vestibule (F,2007)***
This Breton trio have an experienced well connected artistry talent of improvising with themes from Irish folk and folkrock, a rather independent form, which easily switches its flavours to jazz-folkrock/jazz and even occasionally jazz swing. Each musician is able to make the same switch in their inspirations, something which makes this combination work so well. The 5-string violin improvisations (Baptiste Argouarc’h) can be, just slightly or more focused Irish folk or a bit more stylish jazz (a bit like Grapelli). I also noticed a few occasional string arrangements. Also the guitars (Alexis Amette) switch from time to time, can be even rocking, a bit funky, are able to lead and as well as follow. Just once I also noticed a guitar like kalimba rhythm ??? And also the percussionist (Mathieu Guyon) delivers beautiful at times Mal Waldron like flavours on his vibraphone. As a vibraphonist he most often is jazz inspired, while his percussion can handle lots of different moods and ideas. I even noticed ones ticking rhythms imitating an Irish jig on a bell-like sound. Great and convincing music.
