tour-maubourg ensemble: panorama sessions vol. 2
Francisco Espregueira
Another brilliant record from both Tour-Maubourg and Pont Neuf Records just dropped on friday. Following the first iteration of this Panorama Sessions series, the french producer ditched the studio's static perfection for the raw vibrancy of a live band, re-imagining his signature jazz house sound within Brussels' Panorama Studio. Panorama Sessions Vol. 2 delivers live takes of some of his best tracks, reconstructing them with additional layers of human-touch-groove. Shout out for the incredible contributions of ismael Ndir on keys and Fréjus Méa on drums. Beyond that, and what must’ve been some groovy hours/days in the studio, the record ends up blending talent and rawness with controlled precision, showcasing a brilliant mix and master.
Available on vinyl and digital platforms, this project highlights Tour-Maubourg's Ensemble ability to navigate the intersection of house, jazz, and modern electronic music, creating a listening experience that makes us want to go for it. Superrrrrbe.
