Martial, Leila/ Valentin Ceccaldi
Le Jardin Des Delices
Leïla Martial is the uncrowned queen of French vocal jazz - if you can call jazz that combines theatrical and circus elements with the traditional music of nomadic pygmies, Inuits and gypsies, electronic and psychedelic influences with improvisational, experimental contemporary jazz. The mlange of Jardin des dlices is as much everything else as it is jazz; what is certain is that Leïla Martial and Valentin Ceccaldis new album opens up a fascinating imaginary universe.
