Sing Twice. Eric Legnini & The Afro Jazz Beat
Label: ANTEPRIMA Catalog: 6150022 Format: CD Eric Legnini & The Afro Jazz BeatComposed by: , , In 2011, Eric Legnini earned a Victoire du Jazz for his crossover album The Vox. In 2013, he returns to the spotlight with Sing Twice!, which features drummer Franck Agulhon, double-bass player Thomas Bramerie, a brass section, a funky guitar and afro-jazz-beat percussion. Vocalists include British singer Hugh Coltman, Mamani Keita from Mali and Japanese-American folk singer Emy Meyer. Sing Twice!, from its very conception, makes its intentions clear: it is a pop-edged jazz album and a jazz-adorned pop album. "Only For A Minute," for example, has a vocal imbued with the spirit of Stevie Wonder, but draped in a folk atmosphere, while "Yan Kadi" elegantly follows in the footsteps of papa Fela, and "The Source" is in fact a Griot's veiled tribute to "Africa Brass."
