ARCHIBALD LIGONNIÈRE - "A NEW HOME

With "A NEW HOME", his first album as a leader, drummer and composer Archibald Ligonnière plunges us into a modern, lyrical and accessible jazz universe. Accompanied by an exceptional quartet - Stéphane Guillaume on sax, Nathan Mollet on piano and Gildas Bocléa on double bass - his music is rich in harmony and emotion, both intimate and luminous. Born during the pandemic in the privacy of his home studio and shortly after the death of Lyle Mays, the pianist and composer who had a profound impact on Archibald's musical universe, this album is much more than a musical project: it is a quest for balance. Between virtuosity and simplicity, between collective energy and personal sensitivity, 'A NEW HOME' embodies the encounter between the rigour of jazz and the freedom of the moment. Archibald invites us to remember that 'home' could be a sound, an emotion, a place hidden at the heart of music.
