Erik Truffaz Quartet & Nya

For the twentieth anniversary of Bending New Corners, a legendary album that fused atmospheric grooves and organic hip-hop while pushing the limits of French jazz, Erik Truffaz summons his quartet on stage once more. Alongside Marcello Giuliani (bass), Marc Erbetta (percussion and drums) and Benoît Corboz (piano and fender rhodes), the French-Swiss trumpeter invites rapper Nya, discovered at the time on The Dawn (1998), the first EP of the quartet produced by Blue Note. The general public had then discovered the distinctive sound of Erik Truffaz, an acoustic whole mingling with electronic rhythms, on the tenuous border between jazz and instrumental pop, and had already compared him to Miles Davis.
