Hallelujah Again - In Memory of Leonard Cohen
Nicolas Kummert; Lionel Loueke; Nicolas Thys; Karl Jannuska |
1:40 |
"Four Stars ... this enticing set balances rhythmically limber quartet tracks and six intimate sax/guitar duets ... whooshing tenor sax figures spin over hi-life guitar vamps in the duo pieces, alongside organ-mimicking guitar grooves, quiet spoken exchanges in English and French and acoustic guitar and boppish sax swoops on the duo version of Gnossienne. It’s an enticingly hip and conversational set."
- The Guardian
"Whilst Kummert's carefully crafted compositions and serpentine saxophone lines are absolutely key to La diversité it's Loueke's subtle contributions which propel it to the next level. Whilst Loueke has a proclivity for understatement in a similar vein to Bill Frisell, he is equally capable of delivering more raucous expositions ... this album is mesmeric and innovative, replete with fresh ideas and sounds."
- All About Jazz
