Andy Narell now performs with
Sakésho a jazz quartet and this is their second release. The line-up and setting is Andy Narell on the steel pan accompanied by pianist Mario Canonge, bassist Michel Alibo and drummer Jean Philippe Fanfant. Looking at the setting we know that this isn't typical for a jazz quartet, and when we observe further on the other personnel we know that this will be something extra-ordinary.
Pianist Mario Canonge is a brilliant virtuoso pianist. Canonge has worked with an impressive array of singers and musicians, showing that he's equally at home performing with Afro-Cuban groups as he is accompanying sultry jazz divas.
Bassist Michel Alibo is considered as one of jazz and world music's most accomplished and influential musicians. Bass player of choice, not to just some of world music's most visible stars, he's also the premier bassist for entire subcategories of world styles. Michel has laid down textbook grooves in Latin, Caribbean, African, and fusion forms in such subgenres as beguine, reggae, zouk, soukos, groka and many more.
Drummer Jean Philippe Fanfant have recorded over 300 CDs with musicians like Kassav, Angilique Kidjo, Philippe Lavil, Tania Maria and many others. He also wrote and published a book about Afro Caribbean grooves. When we add all these with good production, great material, plus the ever important chemistry, we know we wouldn't be dissapointed.
