The new band of French jazz master Vincent Courtois brings together three generations, musicians from three nationalities and three different musical approaches. Twigs, the supergroup's debut album, reveals an irresistibly intimate and hauntingly poetic musical world: as if the sacrificial ritual of a never-existed ancient people was brought to life through the medium of contemporary jazz. Vincent Courtois has also recorded three other albums with similar top musicians on BMC Records: The Demons of Tosca with Sebastien Brun and Robin Fincker, Carmen Rhapsody with Aki Takase, and Nothing else with Daniel Erdmann and Robin Fincker. To form Twigs, he chose rising star Sanne Rambags. The Dutch singer is already one of the great hopes of jazz, leading several of her own bands to great critical success around the world for her captivating, heartfelt performances. The third member of the trio, Swiss drummer and media artist Julian Sartorius, has been one of Europe's most sought-after performers for a decade, with 12 albums including solo, duo and trio productions (for example with Matthew Herbert and as a member of the Colin Vallon Trio). He has a unique approach to drums and percussion in the broader sense, pushing their believed boundaries with electronics and various experiments. The songs on the album are based on Sanne Rambags' own lyrics, and selected poems by Emily Brontë, Emily Dickinson, Federico García Lorca, and Pablo Neruda, which are highlighted by the unique vocal-cello-drum instrumentation. The music of Twigs is improvisational, song-centred chamber jazz with an undefinable style that fuses three musical approaches: Sanne Rambags displays the power of her shamanistic folk, Vincent Courtois shows his classical and contemporary musical orientation, and Julian Sartorius lives out his experimental vein, all contributing to a musical magic that will resonate in the listener's mind for a long time.
