French saxophonist, singer, and composer Thomas de Pourquery, known as the 'new prophet of jazz', has recorded a CD with two of his musician friends. Entitled Drôles de Dames (the French name for Charlie's Angels), the monumental, visionary musical material, bursting with energy, is performed by Thomas on vocals and alto sax, Fabrice Martinez on trumpet and flugelhorn, and Laurent Bardainne on analogue synthesizer and tenor sax. Bristling with musical quotations, this process music enriched with electronics gives the impression of having arrived from another galaxy. The trio's musicians are the leading force behind the major French group called Supersonic; their album dedicated to Sun Ra won them the jazz album of the year prize at the prestigious French jazz gala Victoires du Jazz, and in 2017 the same event chose Thomas de Pouquery as artist of the year.

Press Quotes
Fabrice Martinez plays trumpet and flugelhorn, Laurent Bardainne is on tenor sax and analogue synth with Thomas de Pourquery lending voice and alto sax on 9 intuitive originals. There's a feel akin to the early 70s synth albums by Tomita with Captain Beefheart on the eerie 'The Sign Part 1' while the sax players fidget with their mouthpieces on 'The Sign Part 3'. The saxes scramble on 'Night of the Stranger' and Martinez squawks out animal sounds on the free 'Antique Angels'. Music or sounds?
