To exist in variety today, you have to be autonomous, have a strong willpower and finally ... A lot of patience.
Chloé Mons' album, which comes out this month, perfectly illustrates this rule.
Gone are the art directors, product managers and other advisors.
From now on, the artist, widow of Alain Bashung, leads his boat alone.
The approach has its constraints but also many advantages.
So, in this album,
Globe Trotter, Ode to Bond,
Chloé Mons does only what she likes.
This singer-pianist, actress with an already well-rounded career, is interested this time in the James Bond films which have always fascinated her.
These memorable themes that have crossed generations, most often signed by John Barry, Chloé Mons revisits them and gives them a decidedly more jazzy color, accompanied for that by Yan Péchin on guitar, Frédéric Gastard on saxophone and Arnaud Dieterlen on percussion.
The high-level quartet gives us here a real rewriting of these standards, without ever removing from them this mystery which is the charm of all great film music.
Timeless and surprising.
