Founded at the end of 2018 by pianist Madeleine Cazenave with bass player Sylvain Didou and drum player Boris Louvet, Rouge did not take long to carve out their place in the new French jazz landscape, as rich as it is diverse.
Their discourse is resolutely acoustic, but they decorate it with a subtle resort to electronics, thanks to collective arrangements highly sophisticated. There, the slightest variation in colours, in texture or dynamics results in a true work of musical scenography, redistributing the place and role of each instrument inside a composition dramaturgy always in movement. The trio thus develop some kinds of landscape-pictures in a series of compositions both atmospheric and highly melodic, with moving shapes that seize, within very precise and defined frames, the tiniest mood change of the ensemble. Going from pieces that pulse with cotonous minimalist grooves showing some sort of pop melancholy (Feu, Louves, Move in) (“Fire”, “She-wolf”, Move in) to hybrid compositions with contrasted movements, letting more or less subliminal references to classical music arise (Granit, Tempête) (“Granite”, “Tempest”), or sometimes referring to songs (the very nice Strawberries in the Dark, sung by the British folk-singer Kate Stables)
