Manu Codjia & Giuseppe Millaci & Lieven Venken - Phases (CD)

The trio formed by Manu Codjia (guitar), Lieven Venken (drums) and Giuseppe Millaci (doublebass) takes us into an electric and sensitive universe, brilliantly carried by a zestful group energy. At the crossroads of jazz and rock, this album is the fruit of mixed horizons, in which the talents ofthree exceptional soloists mingle;Giuseppe Millaci, hyperactive double bass player with considerable talent, whose productions inrecent years have given new impetus to the Belgian jazz scene, confirms in this album his prowessas a musician, composer and producer. His acolyte Lieven Venken, multi-instrumentalist with anunstoppable rhythm, exploits his ease and prints a jubilant movement in which merges theelectric riffs and dazzling solos of Manu Codjia, this multi-award-winning chameleon guitarist (Django for the guitar 2007, 1st prize of soloist of the National Jazz Competition of La Défense1999). A masterpiece penetrating finesse and character.
