Benoît Delbecq's "Pursuit," released on February 15, 2000, under the Songlines label, is a captivating journey through the realms of French jazz, free jazz, Gnawa, and avant-garde music. This 49-minute album is a testament to Delbecq's innovative approach to blending diverse musical influences, creating a sound that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply resonant.
The album opens with "Strange Loop," setting the tone for the eclectic mix of sounds that follow. Tracks like "Poursuite" and "µ-turn" showcase Delbecq's mastery of improvisation and his ability to push the boundaries of traditional jazz. The inclusion of Gnawa elements in "Ntshaks" and "Bogolan" adds a unique cultural dimension, while "A lack of dreams" and "Polders" offer moments of introspection and subtle beauty.
"Within the mean time" serves as a bridge, connecting the various styles and moods of the album. Delbecq's piano playing is both virtuosic and sensitive, making "Pursuit" an album that rewards repeated listens. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a curious newcomer, "Pursuit" offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
