THE MORNING LIST
This week, we offer you seven records appreciated and reviewed by the critics in the music section of Monde, marketed in October. In chronological order of release: the Belmondo brothers play jazz compositions by the Grateful Dead; the first album by Oriane Lacaille, daughter of the accordionist and singer René Lacaille; the folk intimacy of Sufjan Stevens; the fifth emotional album from singer Raphaële Lannadère; a cinematic dive into the world of English DJs by The Streets; the fireworks of pianist Lorenzo Soulès, who won, in 2022, the Orléans International Piano Competition; the garage rock duo The Kills who reinvent themselves.
“Dead Jazz”, an evocation of the psych group Grateful Dead by the jazz group of Lionel and Stéphane Belmondo
Of the groups emerging from the psyche scene of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Grateful Dead is the one where collective play, the relationship to the moment of improvisation, was the most advanced, particularly during concerts. The brothers Lionel and Stéphane Belmondo, the first on saxophones and flutes, the second on trumpet and flugelhorn, devote their new album to eight compositions (Dark Star, St. Stephen, Fire on the Mountain, Bird Song…) from the band led by guitarists Jerry Garcia (1942-1995) and Bob Weir.
In this Dead Jazz, the attention to the melodic part, to the lyricism and to the climate is a finely arranged setting for the development of the soloist parts, dense, tight, where Grateful Dead could often practice letting go. All this led to musical heights by the interweaving of electric pianos and the organ of keyboardists Eric Legnini and Laurent Fickelson, by an acoustic rhythm of excellence (Thomas Bramerie, double bass, and Dré Pallemaerts, drums, alone recalling the two-drummer Grateful Dead crossovers), and the sibling alliance. S. Si.

After Titi Zaro, a tandem created with musician and singer Coline Linder, then a second, Bonbon Vodou, with guitarist JereM Boucris, and an EP under his name (on the Hear My Voice collection from Piers Faccini’s Beating Drum label) , Oriane Lacaille publishes her first album. Imbued with Creoleness, its dominant musical language, a bouquet of melancholy and invigorating songs, crossed by the swing of maloya or sega, the emblematic musical styles of Reunion, native island of its lifelong “influencer”, the accordionist and singer René Lacaille. His father.
