Quentin Dujardin returns to the stage with new irresistible melodies and a fiery energy conveyed by a generation of musicians that need no introduction: Didier Laloy, Nicolas Fiszman & Manu Katché. Each of their appearances leaves an indelible mark with universal colors in the hearts of the audience.

Produced by Lee Townsend, this new album, SAISON ORANGE, is dedicated to this discreet guitar whose nylon strings sketch infinite spaces. Painting landscapes remains an obsession for Quentin Dujardin. His journey to explore the instrument reflects his unchanged taste for adventure, a form of almost religious devotion: a link to his inner self and to its connection with his audience.

The guitarist confirms his attraction to collaboration, as evidenced in particular by the presence of the Norwegian trumpeter, Mathias Eick. To close this record, he offers this stripped-down cover of this classic by Stromae entitled ‘L’Enfer’.

Quentin Dujardin is instinctive, with endless freedom. The artist cultivates this taste for risk to reinvent his own musical universe, and also to escape the clutter of being categorized. SAISON ORANGE marks a turning point in the guitarist’s discography, denouncing the “fifth season”: one in which nature displays itself between winter and spring; the season of the pesticide-ridden fields around his village, […]

In the dream, Frisell finds himself in a breathtaking library surrounded by stacks of leather-bound volumes and antiquities. At the center of the room is a table, and seated around the table are several monk-like figures in hoods. They seem forbidding at first, but quickly reveal themselves as warm and welcoming. “We want to show you what things really are,” they say. “First, we’d like to show you what colors really look like.”

Frisell narrates: “So they open this little box and take out these small blocks. They point to one and say, ‘This is what red looks like.’ And it’s the most intense, beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Then they say, ‘We know you’re a musician, so we’d like you to hear what real music sounds like.’ It felt like some sort of tube was […]

“With each successive release, Hunter is becoming more and more of a consummate jazzman, creating intricate pieces that are fresh, exciting and especially appealling for folks who aren’t normally into jazz. All of the songs on …Shango! have a warmth to them that sounds as if they were recorded in someone’s living room… Don’t be fooled, however; this isn’t smooth coffee-talk jazz, it’s got a creative vitality that demands attention.”
– Megan Frampton, CMJ
