Eng.:
\n The Zola Quartet takes its origins from contemporary jazz and Spanish traditional music. A raw and direct style of music where the strength of melodies and rhythms finds the right balance with the musical elements of jazz: expression, improvisation, spontaneity and exploration.<\/p>\n
These two pillars of inspiration share similar origins; both are forms of art coming from folk and from the melting pot of different cultures. Thus, the Zola Quartet doesn’t attempt to surprise people by intellect, but by the involving energy coming out from its music.<\/p>\n
The repertoire is made up of original compositions of the guitar player Gonzalo Rodriguez, who uses the melodic sense of Francisco Leal on trumpet. All of that boosted by the rhythm section composed by Didier Van Uytvanck on drums and Nicola Lancerotti on bass.<\/p>\n

\nLe Zola Quartet joue un jazz contemporain aux influences telles que l\u2019Espagne ou l\u2019Afrique.
\nUne musique directe et honn\u00eate interpr\u00e9t\u00e9e par des musiciens talentueux et passionn\u00e9s. La formation s\u00e9duit par sa modernit\u00e9, sa polyvalence et sa sonorit\u00e9 \u00e9tonnante. Le r\u00e9sultat s\u2019inscrit dans la lign\u00e9e d\u2019un jazz qui n\u2019oublie pas ses racines m\u00e9diterran\u00e9ennes ; captivant par les compositions chaudes et vibrantes.<\/p>\n
“Gonzalo Rodriguez a trois ma\u00eetres, et cela s\u2019entend sur ce tr\u00e8s bel album. Sur toutes les plages, il y a la m\u00e9lancolie de Django Reinhardt m\u00eal\u00e9e \u00e0 son swing. La clart\u00e9, l\u2019id\u00e9e de la recherche du son de Wes Montgomery. Et l\u2019ouverture musicale, la curiosit\u00e9 de Wayne Shorter. Ce disque est subtil, de l\u2019ouverture rythm\u00e9e \u00e0 la contrebasse de \u00ab Patio \u00bb \u00e0 la fermeture nostalgique de \u00ab Jaleo \u00bb aux cymbales. Aucune plage n\u2019est identique \u00e0 une autre. Mais il y a un son unique. Et des espaces dans lesquels s\u2019engouffrent avec talent les improvisateurs.” Jean-Claude Vantroyen, Le Soir (12.2014)<\/p>\n
