(Avant-Garde Jazz) Happy House - Дискография {Happy House (1998), Inoxydable (2007)}, MP3, 320 kbps

Happy house is a place of diversity: based on a hybrid architecture, it exploits various styles, from intense lyricism to chaos, playing on contrasts, superposition, or on the contrary absolute unity. The written pieces are the bone structure of a mobile: nothing stays still, and the group takes the listener in a circle of unexpected and irresistible movements. This music, sometimes puzzling, is as bright as a deep commitment, without any trick.
"The scores of guitarist Olivier Benoit take this quartet down the difficult path of destructured jazz, a path which the musicians take with conviction and unrestrained energy. Sometimes puzzling because terribly inventive, this music will be a treat to those who love impulsive explosions tamed by a faultless structure."

Happy House recently celebrated its 15th anniversary. For this anniversary, Happy House has created new music, temporarily taking his distance from the influence of free jazz of the previous period. Olivier Benoit had fun playing against what was the personality of the orchestra, writing an exclusively melodic music, seemingly simple, but influenced by the rhythmic play and sound of rock music, playing and beating effects melodies used in loops (without machine).
Yet the nature of Happy House remains the same in its beginning: dynamic, intense, invested...
