This filmed concert gives us the wonderful opportunity to witness and enjoy the both faithful and creative project Eric Le Lann delivers as an homage to his late mentor and friend : “there was something really touching about Chet, such as his music, a mix between vulnerability and strength.”
Eric Le Lann started his career as a professional trumpeter at the age of 20. He has recorded fifteen albums under his own name so far with the likes of Mike Stern, Martial Solal, Archie Shepp, Eddie Gomez and Mino Cinelu, and he has played with Chet Baker, Herbie Hancock, Billy Hart and Dexter Gordon.
“Eric Le Lann provides a moving tribute to the good things we should remember about the tragic LA Cool Icon — an uncanny sense of melody and a tone that would disarm the most curmudgeoned hard bopper (…) everything right about melodic and fragile West Coast Jazz.” Jazz Weekly
