Debora Seffer - Same

Débora SEFFER is the daughter of French saxophone player Yochk'o SEFFER, who was the brainchild of ZAO. Since the early Nineties, this young musician has been considered as a promising hope of today's jazz scene: A virtuoso violin player as well as a gifted composer. She was already to be found in very good company on the "Violin Connection" (1988) compilation, the second release of the Musea label in CD format. Sixteen years later, the lady offers a beautiful eponymous opus. This new album, engineered by Mark HALIDAY under the musical direction of the great Didier LOCKWOOD, is exceptional. Débora SEFFER's vocals are full of feeling and groove. These nine pieces explore new musical territories: this is brilliant jazz-rock fusion, but mixed with blues, ethnic and electronic elements. Thierry MAILLARD's elegant Fender Rhodes parts meet Jean-My TRUONG's versatile drumming: The musical basis of a sophisticated and worked-out music. An excellent piece of art !
