L'imparfait des langues, conceived for Monte Carlo's Printemps des Arts
festival, shows French clarinetist/saxophonist Louis Sclavis casting off of his
usual working methods, inviting three younger guests (including the fleet and
powerful 23-year-old alto saxist Marc Baron) and exploring the territory opened
up by funk, ambient music, guitars, electric keys and samples. But, since it's
Sclavis, it's a very long way from drivetime airplay. L'idee Du Dialecte
bookends a sound like Jack Johnson-era Miles and Steve Coleman with a whirling
folk-dance, some pieces are simply hushed two-horn meditations or
didgeridoo-like reveries, some are avant-boppish, some free-ambient, some
hard-rocking and guitar-led. Wonderful themes, scaldingly played. It's an album
of the year contender, for sure.
