No chaos, no dogma too strict, but a very alive balance exercise between freedom and organisation, jazz & chamber music.

There’s a strange poetry to the music of Les Chroniques de l’Inutile. One moment, the septet is deep into a passage of slowly mutating post-jazz guitar melodicism, only to have its developing shape obliterated by bursts of wind instrument harmonies.

The music of Benjamin Sauzereau & co is like a kind of chamber music jazz. We could imagine Beethoven write this aerie music for this septet, but it is Sauzereau who composed and he is living today and he's not deaf.

In the meantime he made himself notable for his a-typical way of guitar playing. His methods of composing, in which composition and freedom always meet somehow, have become quite remarkable.

A truly original writing with a poetic pen carried by a very colorful formation.

Very, good.
