Pillar of jazz clubs in Paris, the Belgian-born pianist Eric Legnini is an important player in the music scene that either through his own albums and his various collaborations like mere sideman, arranger, composer or producer. Various hats he puts them all at once to this new effort with his band The Afro Beat Jazz entitled "The Vox". The voice in question is that of the new York, for nearly Hugh Coltman , Krystle Warren's profile rather oriented folk, who here is evolving into a registry between jazz and soul woman. Tone, both broken and frayed, is beautiful and continues to do wonders for a good half of the album. Because contrary to what the title might suggest, the album alternates instrumentals (5) and songs (6), providing the transition to a getaway Krystle solo time "Canyon Lady". Musically the album is in the lineage records of the early 70s. Roots. Based on a rhythmic foolproof (Frank Agulhon on drums Bramerie and Thomas on bass) and full of sensuality swing, Eric Legnini has any latitude to develop long solos, piano, Fender Rhodes or Hammond organ B3, in a spirit free. Two guitars, percussion and horn section, very efficient on the funky "Black President", complete the landscape deliberately retro, which also refers the pouch. Limiting the number of players, and his band Legnini install throughout this superb album a feeling of intimacy. The beautiful book on the old, neat, classy and timeless charm finally.
