Album Notes

Happy house is a place of diversity: based on a hybrid architecture, it exploits various styles, from intense lyricism to chaos, playing on contrasts, superposition, or on the contrary absolute unity. The written pieces are the bone structure of a mobile: nothing stays still, and the group takes the listener in a circle of unexpected and irresistible movements. This music, sometimes puzzling, is as bright as a deep commitment, without any trick.

“The scores of guitarist Olivier Benoit take this quartet down the difficult path of destructured jazz, a path which the musicians take with conviction and unrestrained energy. Sometimes puzzling because terribly inventive, this music will be a treat to those who love impulsive explosions tamed by a faultless structure.”
