Review

Jean-Louis' music is deeply rooted in the free spirit of the 1970's. With hypnotic rhythms, saturated sounds and a telluric groove, they remind the forgetful that jazz is all about improvisation with no concessions.
Honestly, we didn't see this one coming and really enjoyed the show.

Artist

Jean-Louis

Un groove démantibulé au son compact et distordu. Jean Louis se nourrit de bois, de métal et de câbles électriques. Il agite ses membres et découpe des tranches de musique au sous-sol. Il mâche très lentement puis remonte à  la surface ou il expulse ses compositions à  base de riffs puissants et de lignes rythmiques explosives. more>>>
