The album incorporates electronics, a decision made after a concert in Sweden where they experimented with adding electronic elements to their acoustic sound.
Recording & Production
The album was recorded by Boris Darley and Mathieu Pion at Studio Gil Evans, Maison de la culture d'Amiens, in June 2023.
Album & Artwork
The album cover art, titled 'SMILE! VI', was created by Jiri Geller.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The quartet is influenced by Wayne Shorter, a jazz saxophonist and composer, who advocated for taking 'the road less travelled' in life and music.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The quartet's central artistic focus has always been storytelling, as emphasized by saxophonist Emile Parisien.
Composition History
The Emile Parisien Quartet formed 20 years ago after a jam session where the musicians felt they had created 'something' special.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The quartet aims to move beyond the traditional jazz quartet format, seeking new answers rather than redoing what groups like John Coltrane's and Wayne Shorter's achieved.
