Entrelacs, the latest album by the Abdelhaï Bennani Trio, is a masterpiece of modern jazz. The trio, consisting of Abdelhaï Bennani on saxophone, Hamid Drake on drums, and William Parker on bass, delivers an exceptional performance that showcases their immense talent and creative abilities.
From the very first track, "Entrelacs," the listener is drawn into a world of intricate melodies and complex rhythms. Bennani's saxophone playing is both powerful and delicate, and he leads the trio through a series of dynamic and emotive compositions.
The album is filled with highlights, including "Au fil de l'eau," a hauntingly beautiful ballad, and "La danse des étoiles," a lively and energetic tune that showcases the trio's improvisational skills. The album also features a number of guest musicians, including pianist Sylvain Kassap and percussionist Hervé Samb.
