Search - Aldo Romano :: Etat De Fait

It's a remarkable confluence of innovation, invention and tradition that transcends genre and tears down preconceived notions as it revels in pure joy. With a lifetime of improvisational music behind him, one might wonder how Aldo Romano could successfully shift his attention to the stricter confines imposed by pop music. Yet on état de fait he blurs that line, bringing an openness to his songwriting and the ensemble performance that manages to both embrace the freedom of jazz and pay respect to the conventions of chanson. This incredible recording fits in well with the latest wave of French vocal pop of Charlotte Gainsbourg, Keren Ann and Carla Bruni (the latter of whom guested on Chante).
