Something Like Now
Moutin Reunion Quartet |
Nocturne
By Mark
F. Turner
Those twins are at it again: producing some fine jazz.
(...) Previous recordings and extensive gigs in
Europe and the US
have earned them respect among critics and fans as musicians dedicated

performing
original material. Now pianist Pierre de Bethmann's vivid keys and Rick
Margitza's muscular saxophone complete the quartet, once again
solidifying a
recording with strong performances.

the brothers Moutin are as tight and creative as ever.

Like the
'80s fusion group Steps Ahead, this band skillfully mixes modern
textures with
a standard quartet sound.
