Vadim brings you a shining example of 70s European jazz funk with this legendary and unique album from French supergroup CCPP. Behind the mysterious and intentionally amusing acronym lies an impressive quartet made up of 4 of France?s best musicians of that era: Andr? Ceccarelli on drums, Marc Chantereau on keyboards and percussion, Christian Padovan on bass and Slim Pezin on guitar. This formidable group, bursting with ideas and techniques, show undeniable mastery of their subject, that is to say, the passionate and enthusiastic execution of a series of 8 instrumentals, complicated in terms of structure and breaks. Our 4 men, faithfully backed by a solid brass section, move from note to note with incredible virtuosity and energy, not to mention undeniable pleasure. This positive energy manifests itself in the massive groove bursting out from the record?s every corner. A groove that gorges upon stunning drums from Ceccarelli at his best. The percussion and cosmic keyboards blend with syncopated guitars to sketch the outline of a mutant and hypnotising funk which cannot be resisted for long. We give in and surrender ourselves completely to the pure joy of music as wild as it is powerful. CCPP undeniably represents one of jazz funk?s finest hours, devilishly wise, but infinitely human. |
