This is not easy listening. Yet, it's rewarding all the way. To the Léandre fan, the solo improvisations will not be so new. Yet, they are interesting. What is more interesting is the second cd. The duets with Makhoul are simply beautiful. Slow, soft beauty emerging out of nothing. The sound of Horenstein on baryton saxophon is also enormous. And gorgeous. The novelty here lies in the fact that Léandre has accustomed us to playing with soprano saxophones for instance, a totally different kind of universe. As for the sextet improvisation, just do as I do: dig into them. You'll find something. Like peace and serenity. Strange as it may be.
