Erik Truffaz Quartet

French trumpeter Erik Truffaz always looks ahead. He is known for crossing musical boundaries and incorporating different styles into his music. In the late nineties Truffaz gained cult status with albums The Dawn and Bending New Corners, with an eclectic mix of organic jazz, hip hop and drum and bass. His upcoming album –Lune Rouge (Red Moon) – was released in the fall 2019. “We wanted new things for this”, explains Erik Truffaz, in the long pauses where he stops to gather his thoughts. “We have passed the baton to Arthur Hnatek and asked him to compose the basic material on which the quartet can build a sound, putting together the pieces and picking them apart again.”
