Benoît Delbecq's "Crescendo in Duke" is a captivating journey through the diverse landscapes of French jazz, free jazz, Gnawa, and avant-garde music. Released on NATO in February 2012, this album is a testament to Delbecq's innovative spirit and his ability to blend various musical influences into a cohesive and engaging whole. Spanning a total of 65 minutes, the album features 14 tracks, each offering a unique exploration of sound and rhythm.
From the hauntingly beautiful "Portrait of Mahalia Jackson" to the energetic "Acht O'Clock Rock," Delbecq's compositions are both intricate and accessible. The "Goutelas Suite," a five-part centerpiece of the album, showcases Delbecq's prowess in creating complex, multi-layered pieces that are as intellectually stimulating as they are enjoyable to listen to. The album also includes a rendition of "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue," a classic by Duke Ellington, reimagined through Delbecq's distinctive lens.
"Crescendo in Duke" is not just an album; it's an experience. Delbecq's mastery of his craft is evident in every note, making this a standout release for fans of jazz and experimental music alike.
