about

ODG005 : Emmanuel Borghi Trio / Keys, Strings and Brushes

Recorded by Emmanuel Borghi in 2011 with Antoine Paganotti on drums ( both were in French cult group Magma and are playing also in SLuG, see also Off OCD011: SLuG / SLuG , and Blaise Chevallier on bass.

"Like a new page which was necessary to turn, that of the fulfillment of an artist who would expose himself finally to the light of his own world, Keys, Strings and Brushes is a serene and radiant celebration of the music which lives in Emmanuel Borghi for a long time.
After two decades spent beside Christian Vander - with Magma, Offering, in trio or jazz quartet - the pianist tells us the stories today which are his.
We shall not forget a first experience under his name, in 1996, when he surrounded himself with some friends in the time of the Collective Mu. The album Anecdotes raised the veil on the qualities of a musician who was not only a pianist but also a composer. A melodic promise that we watched since the beginning not without a bit of impatience.
It was thus necessary to wait a little …
It's been three years now that we discovered the dreamlike and multicolored universe of Slug, this formation with rock accents, among which the first two albums (Slug and Namekuji) are for Emmanuel Borghi a stimulant playground where his art of the imaginative illumination can display quite freely.
The time has come now for another exposure, more precarious that one because the jazz trio is to be considered, we know well, as a moment of truth for the musician. This one is in nude, without any other outcome than that of its own overtaking. But the confrontation of the danger is also a fertile source from where a personal vision of beauty can come, in a harmonious marriage of a time suspension and a quest for simplycity, where every note is told and loaded with sense.
And we have such an wonderful example here! In the felted complicity which unites him with Blaise Chevallier (double bass) and Antoine Paganotti (drums) - rhythmic at the same time discreet and present - Emmanuel
Borghi weaves a singular painting, irradiated by the brightness of an inspiration which also sounds like a long breathing. We shall have guessed that this music of light also has some breath! From the first notes of " Don' t Give Up " (tremendous rework of Peter Gabriel's song, and besides the only cover on this record as all other titles are original signed compositions Emmanuel Borghi), we are happy to feel the musician at the heart of his feelings, so close to us, ready to remind us that he knows where he comes from and what real guides showed him his path for a long time. Between intimist ballads with high romantic content over which glides the friendly shade of master Bill Evans and attempts managed to thwart rhythmic traps which is without doubt of Monkienne inspiration, Emmanuel Borghi indeed stands out as the narrator captivating that he is for a long time and who, not content with seducing us at once by the melodic clarity of its comment, passes on us - as wholesome one drip in this disturbed time- the keys of a charming, timeless domain. No need of guided tour, each of us will find its way there, inhabited by the idea for which a protected space waits us and for which it would be really guilty of not stopping there for a long moment.
The patience is always rewarded …"
