Jeff Herr Corporation - CD release « Manifesto »

Jeff Herr’s new Corporation surprises with a new setting and dexterity, presenting itself now a s a linear trio, without the need for a harmonical instrument. Maxime Bender on Saxophone and Laurent Payfert on Bass complete this new highly skilled and energetic trio which relies on compositional abilities from each of the 3 members. Well arranged and structured songs as well as wild and free improvisations cover the band’s large repertoire, filled with some surprising cover songs from well known Pop artists such as David Bowie or Jimi Hendrix. The strength and tightness of the band emerge from a strong rhythmical impact and emphasize the origins of music: the groove.
Entitled “Manifesto”, the new album of the Luxembourgisch contemporary jazz trio consists of 7 original songs and a surprising cover version of Randy Newman’s ’Same girl’. It ensures the continuity of the previous album “Layer Cake”, of the oscillation between structured compositions and free improvisations as well as of the contrast between the acoustic sound and the contemporary interpretation.
