Nouvelle R - Sénescence (2018)

 

The second and final album from this band from Canada.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass and guitars.

Their 2015 was a pretty decent album. Trio jazz with half-acoustic guitars and with some Django Reinhardt influences.

The band returned three years later with this album called Senescence. 

We get one hour of music here and the music is a lot more developed this time around.

There is a lot of electric guitars here in addition to the half-acoustic guitars. There is even a couple of good guitar solos here.

The bass is also pretty melodic at places and a part of driving the melodies forwards. The melodies are pretty good. Some narrations, in French, halfway through this album add some colours to the album.

The band has almost crossed over to fusion on some parts of this album. That makes this a pretty enjoyable album and one well worth checking out. Both albums can be found at this link. Both jazz and fusion fans should check them out.
