Presented as an experimental jazz-rock ensemble, “Les Comptes de Korsakoff” transports us to the borders, in disorder, of epic narration, jazz and rock, music in general, the burlesque of Monty Pithon, the fantastic of Tim Burton, Mel Brooks-style madness. Beyond the theatrical dimension which rests largely on the shoulders of Geoffrey Grangé on bass and vocals, the background of musical culture evokes the heyday of concept albums, with psychedelic reminiscences of Pink Floyd (the lyrical interventions of cello held by Marie-Claude Condamin are not without evoking the symphonic impulses of Atom Heart Mother), the bombast of Ange or the street brass bands of New Orleans.

If the first part of the set draws on the old repertoire of the group, the end is based on titles, or rather suites, which will constitute the backbone of the next album, to be released by the end of the year. Great novelty: the texts, written by Marie-Claude Condamin, are in French, with the common thread of the uncomfortable situations that everyone is confronted with one day or another: fears, questions, inner searches, quests for a life or an age, …. The texts are concise and do not seek to impose a story; whispered, vociferated, sung or hummed, they open up avenues for the imagination then fade away to make way for the music that seizes them and sets the course, leaving everyone free to tack, stop over along the way or aim straight for the target.

The arrangements are rigorous, the musicians are vigorous and the whole emanates an expansive energy; the rhythm plays with the cadences, mixes binary and ternary, redistributes the beats within the measures, the choruses fly away, the brass punctuates to the climax, the better to dissolve and evaporate in a last breath that keeps us in breath until the last quarter.
