25. Lemmings Suicide Myth - Lemmings Suicide Myth
Genre(s): Post-Modern Piano Jazz
Sounds Like: Triumvirat, Keith Emerson, Chopin (here n there)
Inspired by the Tarot and performed entirely with piano, glockenspiel and some fine drumming, this French trio's tour-de-force self titled is a thing of improvisational, highly tempered beauty. Although feeling like a suite in structure overall, it is opening cut 'The Fool' and closing piece 'The World' that where their compositional muscles feel especially flexed, with the latter morphing seamlessly from a frenzied state into something similar to a modal Bill Evans frame of mood. Quite remarkable and a 2018 jazz highlight!
