• In 2003, the predecessor of this album, ‘Hymne au Soleil’, won Best Jazz Album award in France, and gave its name to saxophonist Lionel Belmondo’s ensemble, who now, 8 years later, release part two of this project, ‘Clair Obscur’. This time his quintet, including brother Stephane on trumpet, is expanded by the addition of a brass sextet.

• Once again, Belmondo develops themes derived from either French classical music of the late 19th or early twentieth century (mainly French : Fauré, Satie, Vierne, plus Arnold Schoenberg)), or modern jazz pianists (Petrucciani, Bill Evans) plus two compositions by Belmondo himself.

• Belmondo has returned, in part, to the musical French Impressionists, and once again has cleverly intermingled jazz with classical inspiration to create another masterly recording.
