Samuel Thiébaut's lovely imagery captures attention without undermining the musical richness of this two-piano duo. The communication between our two collaborators is brilliant. Bojan Z values the percussive dimension while Baptiste Trotignon delivers different, stranger sounds, familiar in contemporary music, by strumming the strings. All the tones are visited, in long exchanges without any untimely demonstration of superlative technique in order to avoid any perverse battle of egos. Everything flows seamlessly in this beautifully crafted repertoire. They move happily from each other's personal compositions ("TNT,"Awake") to a sparkling interpretation of "Lennie's Pennies" (far removed from the intellectualism usually attributed to Lennie Tristano) to "Retrato Em Preto E Branco," one of Tom Jobim's most beautiful songs, to an emotional and delicate version of "Body & Soul." Philippe Lesage.
