Erik Truffaz
this wicked french trumpeter really needs his own thread.
i've managed to track down all his music over the past year - it was not an easy task. i really like it all except for his first two, which to me just sound like plain old boring jazz. the rest - well, it's phenomenal.
i'll admit being partial to any tracks that feature Nya, he really adds a great lyrical touch to what is already outstanding music.
favorite album is Arkhangelsk by a wide margin, followed by either Revisité or Walk of the Giant Turtle.
anybody else dig his tunes?
