"Airelle Besson is an accomplished musician who has studied at the conservatory (not only trumpet, but also violin and harmony) and performed in large ensembles (Orchestre National de Jazz, Le Sacre du Tympan). She has established herself on the French jazz scene for the beauty of her trumpet sound as well as for the quality of her compositions. Her quartet wasn't assembled in a hurry; she appreciates drummer Fabrice Moreau's colorist approach and pianist Benjamin Moussay's open-mindedness. If she chose the Swedish Isabelle Sörling, it's because this singer with a crystal-clear voice has an incredible range and she sees herself above all as an instrumentalist who blends into the sound mass (there's a beautifully modern scat in ""Candy Parties""). The shared preliminary thinking was not to prescribe anything. This is what the listener perceives; it's all in the suggestion. Could it be a new romanticism that's more Nordic than Latin?? **Philippe Lesage**".
