Erik Truffaz – The Dawn LP 1st Pressing French Import NYA Rare OOP. Archival Sleeve
Jazzy Funky Hip Hop Killer........ Hard to find on Vinyl
Truffaz's quartet has been awhile, evolving considerably. It's morphed from an all-acoustic mainstream group in 1997 to a more aggressively rock-informed unit in recent years, influenced by but way less dense and angular than Miles's late-60'/early-70's electric works. These days Patrick Muller is often found feeding his Rhodes through a distortion box, with more powerful rhythms coming from bassist Marcello Giuliani and drummer Marc Erbetta. This early work keeps Erik Truffaz new approach into today's modern jazz. ~ highly recommended
