But it holds in its title— which came to me long after the idea of the repertoire, an ultimately quite British taste for derision: in the end, art shall survive all social fads.\u003cbr\u003e I wanted a fresh, playful sound, groove, and a bit of humor. Both playful and well executed. The intense presence of Matt and Greg is a big part of it.\u003cbr\u003e Covering a popular song is common practice for jazz musicians, and like many others before me, I have often done it. Still, the idea of an entire al-bum revolving exclusively around British pop music was not self-evident: it was a challenge to remain lively and \"fun\" without the lyrics. So I was left with the often simplistic material of these songs, even if most of them have been an excit-ing and joyful part of my teenage years.\u003cbr\u003e And then, little by little, by digging mainly into the incredibly creative era of the 70s, I started to have fun, sometimes arranging the melodies with the language I am most familiar with and sometimes playing them as they are. The simple sound of the piano\/double bass\/drums acoustic jazz trio created the surprise.\u003cbr\u003e Jazz and pop musicians are often considered rivals. And yet, in both worlds, you can hear the same sublime violence and thirst for freedom.\u003cbr\u003e Jazz was a popular and revolutionary music long before the arrival of rock's exuberance. Its animality (which I love!) contrasted with jazz and its complex harmonies and rhythms.\u003cbr\u003e Why not try to combine the two? While keeping in mind that this form of loving and poetic re-sistance is common to ALL genres” - Baptiste Trotignon, May 2023\u003cbr\u003e Line Up: Baptiste Trotignon - piano, arrangements, Greg Hutchinson – drums, Matt Penman - upright bass.\u003cbr\u003e Available on digipack CD and gatefold double vinyl LP (including vinyl-only bonus tracks).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eDrive My Car (The Beatles)\u003cbr\u003eMessage in a Bottle (The Police)\u003cbr\u003eMoney (Pink Floyd)\u003cbr\u003eHere Comes The Sun— Norwegian Wood (The Beatles)\u003cbr\u003eKarma Police (Radiohead)\u003cbr\u003eMisty Mountain Hop-Four Sticks-Whole Lotta Love (Led Zeppelin)\u003cbr\u003eAlmost Blue (Elvis Costello)\u003cbr\u003eMother’s Little Helper (The Rolling Stones)\u003cbr\u003eInterstellar Overdrive (Pink Floyd)\u003cbr\u003eLife On Mars?
